Chew thoroughly to lose weight
It's official - if you eat slower and chew your food thoroughly you will lose weight! This was recently proven by dr. Kathleen Melanson from the University of Rhode Island:
In the study, 30 women made two visits to Melanson's lab, and each time they were given a large plate of pasta and told to eat as much as they wanted. When they were told to eat quickly, they consumed 646 calories in nine minutes, but when they were encouraged to pause between bites and chew each mouthful 15 to 20 times, they ate just 579 calories in 29 minutes.
"Satiety signals clearly need time to develop," Melanson concluded. "Not only did the women take in fewer calories when they ate more slowly, they had a greater feeling of satiety at meal completion and 60 minuteslinks afterwards, which strongly suggests benefits to eating more slowly."

That makes 70 calories less!

Translated to diet chick lingo, take your time to enjoy your food, some friends state that food even tastes better when you eat slower!

Remember, all you need to do to start losing weight is to eat 500 calories less, and you can read my article about it here.
