When I was a kid, my parents would always make sure that I ate every piece of food that was on my plate.
They'd try to shame me by saying there were kids starving in Africa. Or they would use the superstition play and say that if I didn't clean my plate, my face would eventually look like it.
Although they had the best intentions this pushed me to need to eat everything I was served even though I was full.
As a kid, I never listened to my fullness cues. This carried on with me into adulthood.
Then I read about this tiny little town in Japan called Okinawa that has the most octogenarians (80-89 year olds) in the world.
They also happen to average out at the lowest BMI as well. Most notably, they are the only population in the world who practice self-imposed calorie restriction.⁣ ⁣
They do this by practicing a technique they call, “Hara hachi bun”, which means to eat to 80% fullness.⁣
