RESEARCH: Slow eating reduces food intake
We all could use to lose a little weight, and especially when you're over 30, the pounds seem to keep adding on. I (Rob) found this piece of research and it makes sense on a couple of levels. The key to slower eating is taking breaks- talk, read a book, etc. 2) It prevents you from putting MORE food in your mouth. 3) Drinking water makes you feel full, so drink up.
Learn from this article- it's worth reading! - and lose those pounds! Rob
Researcher
provides further evidence that slow eating reduces food intake
Kingston RI (SPX) Nov 15, 2011 - Two
new studies by researchers at the University of Rhode Island are
providing additional insights into the role that eating rate plays in
the amount of food one consumes.
The studies found that men eat significantly faster than women, heavier
people eat faster than slimmer people, and refined grains are consumed
faster than whole grains, among other findings.

"It takes time for your body
to process fullness signals," she concluded, "so slower eating may
allow time for fullness to register in the brain before you've eaten too
much." FULL STORY: http://www.seeddaily.com/reports/Researcher_provides_further_evidence_that_slow_eating_reduces_food_intake_999.html
