LOSE WEIGHT WITH SLOW EATING

Do you rush your food? Studies have shown that this leads to overeating, as it takes 20 minutes for the brain to send out signals that the stomach is full. Research has even linked scoffing meals to the development of type 2 diabetes. Slowing down eating leads to a reduction of calories consumed during a meal and after. In one study, participants who chewed each bite of lunch for 30 seconds ate half as many sweets later that afternoon as participants who chewed at their normal rate. You can practise slow eating with chewing gum. Chew it fast and then slowly.
