number 3: Eat mindfully, our stomach takes 20 minutes to tell the brain that we're full, so we tend to overeat when we eat too fast, eating while we're stressed out also makes us fat both because we don't digest our food properly and because stress hormones slow your metabolism and promote fat storage especially that dreaded belly fat so when it's time to eat slow down and enjoy every part of your meal or snack.
