Eating Slowly Changes More Than You'd Expect

Your brain needs about twenty minutes to register that you're full. If you finish a meal in seven, you'll almost always overeat. Try putting your fork down between bites, chewing more thoroughly, or simply pausing to breathe. Eating slowly isn't a diet trick — it's a reset for your relationship with food. You'll notice flavors more, feel satisfied with less, and avoid that uncomfortable stuffed feeling after meals.
