Why can I eat So Much Chili

Why can I eat So Much Chili I cant understand how I can eat so much chili. I can eat a cup or more of it. I make it with tomatoe juice and it is real soupy. So do you think the juice is like drinking regular juice so that is why I can handle so much. I got back today from my camping trip it was a great trip. It was really cold. My lips are so chapped. I have a small cold and I am glad to be home. Next year it will be better. I am so worried about this chili thing. Do you guys eat that much chili. Take Care Barb

The juice is probably washing some of it into your intestines making room for more - it's the same principle behind why you're not supposed to drink with or immediately after meals. The point is to keep food in your pouch as long as possible to maintain that feeling of fullness. As it's chili, you're probably fine - but if you start finding yourself getting hungry 'too soon', then you might want to try thicker chili. --BT

BT, Thanks for your response. You have been a great help in answering alot of my questions. and other questions. I was really concerned... I need to watch that. Thanks again Barb

Hey Barb, I have the same situation with chili, and soup, but I limit myself to a cup because it usually is a healthy serving size (actually... more than that makes me ill) HUGS You aren't alone Rachel
