What makes a person PB?

[jazie 0]

Well, today was my intro to PB. I am just wondering if eating too fast, or too much causes this. I really don't think it was too much because I hadn't eaten much at all. I ate a small piece of baked chicken, and it was moist, and a small piece of meat loaf. I was eating out and alone and I think I just rushed it. Not a good feeling at all.

I surely want to know what caused it, so I don't do it again.

I appreciate your answers.

Hi,

You probably ate too much at one time. You have to make sure you cut your meat very,very small and chew it very well. You will find that chicken may be hard to digest now.. I know I have problems with that. You must eat slow and chew. They say you should cut your meat the size of a pencil eraser. I know it gets crazy, but it does work. As soon as you get that feeling of fullness, even though you did not eat alot...you have to put the fork down and stop. Some time it passes and you can start to eat again, but sometimes you really are full, believe it or not. It doesn't make sense, but you learn as you go.

I hope this helps you out.

Take care.

Eating too much will probably make you PB but you know when you're doing that, to PB from eating too much means you would have to eat past your body's signals to stop, it doesnt just happen unexpectedly.

Its usually too big a bite, or not chewing properly that does it. And it can happen with your first bite but by the time it registered, you've eaten two or three more bites and you're in trouble. I've found by far the most effective tactic to avoid PBing is not so much ridiculously tiny bites or chewing till your teeth fall it, its waiting in between bites to make sure one has gone down right before you take another! Like put your fork down and wait. Lots of tiny bites chewed well one right after another will cause me to PB or have discomfort just as much as a big badly chewed one.

Sometimes I put the plate on the counter, take a bite, go sit down in a chair, chew (and chew and chew) then get up and go back to the counter for a second bite. This isn't how I usually live, but right after a fill or during a time when I'm a bit swollen, it works.

could have been the chicken for alot of people chicken is difficult because it is dryer....make some gravy do dip the small bite in..I also get up and down alot myself....I can eat better standing

Thanks you guys. I am pretty sure I did not wait long enough between bites. I will make sure I never do that again. Unless I forget and do not have my mind on eating, which is what happened then.
