You are also getting older, and appetite decreases with age.

I like the idea of eating ’til 80% full. This has precedents in alot of cultures, but I cannot countenance throwing food away. Granted if the only choice is eating the item vs. throwing away, one could argue that you are wasting it either way. But the better solution in my world-view is not to order the item to start. Only order things that you plan to eat or store for later.

This was such a great read! Your perspective on adjusting to eating less without feeling deprived really resonated with me. The idea that the first bites are the most enjoyable while the last ones are unnecessary is so simple yet powerful. It’s inspiring to see how a small mindset shift led to lasting change. Thanks for sharing!

Very relevant for at least 90% of americans (and some europeans too!)
save 20% of $ on food. Get a healthy weight. Enjoy food more. Save some time eating. Great Deal !

Some of us have the opposite problem, which is annoying in its own way as well : I am naturally very lean and if I don’t eat a Ton of food, I get too skinny (bmi can drop below 17) . The main benefit is a have an easy 365 days 6 pack abs.

Hara hachi bun me (腹八分目) is a Confucian teaching, still widely observed in Japan, that instructs people to eat until they are 80% full.

There is evidence it leads to a lower body mass index and increased longevity, and it might even help to prevent dementia in the elderly.
