Do you feel guilty after binging on your favourite food? Many often consume more calories than required. Not just weight gain but it can also lead to digestive issues like gas, bloating or uneasiness. Recently nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar took to Instagram to share a few tips that can help you know how much you should be eating. In the video, she explains how to eat moderately and still feel happy about it through her “Jordan formula”. "The one thing the weight-loss' industry has done is made all of us unworthy of the good food on our plate," she says.
Know how much you should eat
Rujuta said she learnt the formula when she visited Jordan for a talk on yoga. "In Jordan, people offer a date and a cup of coffee to visitors, and give the second cup of coffee and the second date only if the guests agree to have the third cup of coffee and the third date. So guests don't have the option to stop having the coffee-date combo at even numbers, they must do it at odd numbers," the nutritionist said in the video.
This, Rujuta added, forces people to constantly gauge their appetite.

Applying the Jordan formula to your meal can be an extremely helpful and easy way of knowing when to stop eating those delicacies. Keep in mind that people feel less hungry during summers and than during winters. Also, the digestive system gets easily compromised during warmer months, so increase intake of fibre.
So, as per her advice, you should go for the second portion only when you can comfortably finish the third one.
