I often get asked how do I still have a flat tummy @42 with 4kids. The day I understood this 👇🏽 the game changed for me. (Yoooh look at that oblique 😍)
Did You Know Your Stomach Is Only This 👊 Big?
It's true! Your stomach is about the size of your fist. But many of us eat enough for 2 or 3 people 🙅♀️(stop this and your mkhaba will fall 🤞🏽)!
Here's how your amazing stomach works:
You put food in your mouth (duh 🤭)and chew it into smaller pieces.
The food travels down your throat and into your fist-sized stomac. Your stomach mixes it with digestive juices to make a thick liquid (I bet you already know that 🤔).
That liquid then moves into your small intestine. This is where your body absorbs the nutrients from the food.
Pretty cool, right? But here's a kicker - your stomach can only stretch so much before digestion gets messed up!
That's why portion sizes are so important! Eating fist-sized portions allows your stomach to do its job properly without getting overloaded.
The next time you eat, make a fist. That's about how much food your stomach can comfortably handle.
Let's all try to be more "fist-conscious" about how much we put on our plates. Your body will feel so much better!
Who's joining me on the fist-full journey?
