Stuffing

So I thought I'd a start a thread on tricks you can use to get past that sick/full feeling when eating a large amount. Tricks other than just "expand your capacity" of course. I'll add some things that I've thought of or learned, and then feel free to add your own tips on how you got that extra bite in.

1. Save the sweets for last, people usually make room for dessert if their sugar craving hasn't been satisfied.

2. If you want to fit in more liquids pick saltier foods, you'll become much more thirsty. This is the same trick soda companies use to get you to drink more of their product (just look at all the sodium in those things).

3. Taunt them with the smell, wet their appetites before hand and they'll feel much more hungry.

4. Eat quickly, it takes a while for that full feeling to settle in, get all that food down before that!

5. Savory or protein rich meals will fill you up quicker than junk food/carbohydrates (be aware of the health risks though).

6. Apparently, cold temperatures increase your appetite while warm temperatures lower it, I have not seen evidence of this personally but worth looking into.

7. Patience, if you do get to that full feeling and there's no way around it, give yourself time to digest and then tackle some more when you're feeling better.

I can vouch for #6 too. When I get back from the greenhouse I'm generally melting, and no matter how little I've eaten I'm never hunger until I've drank a few cups of ice water and cooled off significantly.

That's interesting to know, thanks for the input

Does anyone else have any other ideas, or tricks?

Good to meet someone with lot's of experience haha

These are some good tips though, I just thought I'd make this thread as I've talked to some people who start to feel sick quickly during a stuffing.
