gluttonot
how not to be gluttonous. so i'm about ready to head to the church in a few, and thereafter, lunch at my cousin's crib. there will be filipino food and there will be italian food. if you understand the dynamics of both cultures -- that's a lot of food.

so how do you prepare yourself for these eating bonanzas? before you head to big family parties or all-you-can eat buffets, how do you prepare? here are some tips so you don't end up being chunky:

eat first
i'm not saying eat right before you leave; i am saying eat at least some food earlier. it's only the fool's strategy to not eat the whole day prior to a big event surrounding food. i myself used to be guilty of this when i was younger. this way, that little rubber pouch in your body called the stomach will be stretched out a bit and ready to handle any number of buffet rounds you can muster.

warm-up
this relates to the elasticity of your stomach and the whole g.i. tract in general. start off with a nice cup of tea or soup. the east asians and indians had that right for years! the higher in temperature something is, the more pliable and therefore, more stretcheable -- especially if you plan on having room for the best part of the meal: apple pie a la mode.

use your plate as the guidelines
don't overfill your plate because it's easier to not get up and walk to the food table. work for yours! only fill the plate up to the inner rim of your plate. and stop piling heaps and mountains -- this isn't a farm and you guys aren't swine eating slop.

hydrate
if your pee is yellow, you're not hydrated enough. drink more water. dehydration is often mistaken for hunger. don't fool yourselves.

keep those little tidbits of info the next time you're about to get you're grub on. and by all means, don't ever deprive yourself. you can eat fat and salt and sugar...just in moderation. all things in moderation.
i gots to get my own grub-on. peace, fam.
