Chewing Your Way to a Slimmer You

Here's a tip to help you lose weight: Chew your food instead of inhaling it.

If you slow your pace when you eat, your body begins to digest food at a more reasonable rate. Psychological trials show that eating slowly results in feeling fuller sooner, which leads to fewer calories consumed at mealtime. Try chewing each bite 20 times before swallowing, or put down your fork or spoon after each mouthful to regulate your intake.
