(New York Times) For ages, mothers have admonished children at the dinner table to slow down and chew their food. Apparently, they’re onto something.
Researchers have found evidence over the years that when people wolf their food, they end up consuming more calories than they would at a slower pace. One reason is the effect of quicker ingestion on hormones…
In other words, experts say, it can’t hurt to slow down and savor your meals.
Community: I’ve mentioned before Paul McKenna’s “I Can Make You Thin” program (videos of his series on TLC are available here). Here are the basics:
- When you’re hungry, eat.
- Eat what you want.
- Eat mindfully.
- Stop when you’re full.
It’s the most sensible advice I’ve ever received about eating.
