It all starts on the night of January 1st and then continues for some time as people try to eat the leftovers from the feasts.

Nutritionist Daria Rusanova told how to avoid going on a food binge.

She recommended following some simple rules. Lenta.ru writes about this in more detail.

As the specialist noted, you should eat only when you feel hungry. It is important not to confuse it with thirst.

When you are hungry, you may feel a “sucking” sensation in your stomach, but that is not all the signs.

You may also begin to feel weak, have a headache, or experience emotional decline.

In addition, you should chew food slowly. It is believed that the longer we chew food, the faster the signal of satiety will be sent to the brain.

While eating, you shouldn’t watch TV or use gadgets, otherwise you might eat more.

The diet should be varied.

The richer the palette of flavors, the more satisfaction a person will receive from a small amount of food.
