Slow Down and Savor your food!

If it takes you less than a few minutes to devour your meal, then it's time for you to slow down. When you eat fast, you're not giving enough time for the brain to process that you're no longer hungry and you end up eating more than your body needs. Enjoy every bite, savor your food.

If eating slowly is something that you struggle with, make sure to count how many times you chew. Chew each bite of food for about 30- 35 times. Most of us don't even chew 10 times before swallowing. Chewing is the first step of the digestive system and is crucial to weight loss. By chewing slowly, you will feel satisfied and you won't feel the need to go for seconds and your weight loss will definitely be more successful!
