It may be the latest dieting craze, but there’s a lot of good sense in slowing down while eating.
Eating too fast puts your hunger at odds with your body’s metabolism. It takes time for the nutrients from food to get absorbed into your blood stream. When you eat slowly, you give your body time to tell you that it”s eaten enough.
Net result? You may eat fewer calories. Side effect? Slowing down lets you enjoy the tastes and flavors of your food and the companionship of your table mates.
