ome of us, many of my weight loss clients are looking for an easier way to manage portion size than always using measuring cups. And there is one. It requires that we understand the proper role of the stomach in managing our eating habitOne of the most important problems for the client who is serious about losing weight is portion size. Everyone wishing to lose weight needs to learn about healthy eating habits, the importance of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoiding highly processed foods, and the value of whole grains. In fact, I require every client I see to research proper nutrition or consult a trained nutritionist. But another major challenge is controlling the portions that we eat. No matter how good their food choices are, overweight people often simply eat too much. One solution is to join a diet program like Jennie Craig which basically determines both your food choices and portions for you.

Such programs have a high success rate for rapid weight loss. The problem of course is that it may be difficult to make the transition from this kind of highly regimented program to a self-regulating regime. While carefully measuring ones portions may be workable for some of us, many of my weight loss clients are looking for an easier way to manage portion size than always using measuring cups.

And there is one. It requires that we understand the proper role of the stomach in managing our eating habits. We need to start listening to our stomach's wisdom.

The human stomach is a uniquely versatile organ. For most of the last two million years of evolution our human ancestors needed a stomach that could hold up to two quarts of food. That's because they might spend two days chasing a mammoth across the plains on an empty stomach. Then they had to eat very quickly before they were chased off by the saber toothed tigers. The uncertainty of food sources and lack of storage options required our early ancestors to develop a stomach that was uniquely suited to this environment. Early humans lived a life of nearly constant physical exertion. And their stomach would be filled with food only once every few days. The rest of the time it would be a few bites of leaves or fruit. Our ancestors did not suffer from overweight problems.

Now this same large stomach no longer serves us. If a modern human who is living a sedentary life fills this
