Slow down!! No one is going to take your food away from you...Granted, we live in a chaotic world where everyone seems to rush through their day. I strongly feel that there is no sense in rushing through our pleasures in life, especially food, and I want to encourage you to savor every bite.
As soon as a “speed-eater” sits down to eat, they usually have other things going on in their mind. Whether it's a television show that's or a personal or work related issue that is occupying their mind, the risk of over-eating is among them.
In addition, eating too fast can lead to more stress in your life, including weight gain.
Jennifer Warner, a writer for http://www.medicinenet.com/ stated that “eating slowly may help overweight people lose weight after all,” according to a new study.
The study proved that people who are overweight consumed less when they ate at a slower pace.
Studies show that by eating slower your calorie intake is less, because you eat less food. In a similar study on http://www.zenhabits.com/ our brains take approximately 20 minutes to realize that we are full. By eating slower we can avoid over-eating.
So let’s all just take a minute, enjoy some healthy food, and let our brain catch up with our tummy.
