It’s easy to gorge on food like crazy, but pacing yourself allows you to not overdo it and then fall into a gluttonous stupor. You might end up eating as much as you actually would if you just indulged outright, but pacing allows your food to settle in and kick their in effects slowly instead of all in one go.


7. Minimize your sugar.
