Your optimal meal size
EAT 2 CUPPED HANDFULS AT EVERY MEAL
Ever wonder if you’re eating too much or too little? In Ayurveda, it’s recommended to eat 2 cupped handfuls at every meal.
If you bring your hands together side by side making a cup, you’ll see how much you should be eating to feel satisfied, but not full.
Ideally, you want to fill up your stomach two-thirds, while leaving one-third for digestion. Your stomach churns the food you eat for digestion, and if there is no room, you will experience stomach upset and excessive burping or heartburn. If you feel heavy after eating, it might be because you’re completely filling your stomach.
When I first heard this guideline, it seemed way too little food but then I gave it a try and feel much lighter after my meals.
