Wait 20!
Before that second serving, wait 20 minutes. When we’re hungry, our body does not recognize that we’ve eaten and we take about 20 minutes to feel full. Eat slowly. Put your fork down in between mouthfuls and don’t pick it up again until you’ve chewed and swallowed your food. Appreciate your food. Pack away leftovers immediately. You might find you don’t need to
eat as much as you thought.
What foods need not be stored in the refrigerator?
