Eating more slowly can have a profound effect on losing weight. Dieticians are agreeing that the rate we ingest food has a lot to do with how much we feel we need. Speedy eaters have a tendency to eat bigger meals than slow eaters, according to recent research. If we eat until we’re satisfied, we keep consuming more food when we’re gulping it down than when we take it steadily.

Test it out today to prove it by eating your evening meal very fast. Keep going until you’re satisfied. On another occasion, take your time over exactly the same meal, really working every mouthful until it’s completely chewed up. There’s a very good chance that your first dinner will be bigger than your second. Additionally you won’t feel so hungry a couple of hours on following the slower meal where you ate less food.

We often eat too much when we’re speed eating, because we haven’t given the food time to reach our stomach. Putting too much food in at one go then makes our stomach feel distended and uncomfortable very soon afterwards.

Another reason to take more time to chew food is because the digestive process begins in the mouth. We salivate more when chewing, which promotes effective digestion and dispersal of waste products. This means we retain less fat and carbohydrate in our system.

How much we eat can be strongly influenced by how we actually eat. The best way to dine is sitting at the table and concentrating on our food. Then we can eat more graciously, and put our cutlery down when we’ve had enough.

Maybe it’s also because sitting at the table makes dining more of an occasion, so we don’t rush things so much. We definitely experience more digestive discomfort if we throw our food down in front of the telly!

It’s also the case that we eat faster if we’ve allowed ourselves to get too hungry. Aim to prevent this by planning meals in advance, and eat smaller meals more frequently. Sweets and chocolate give instant gratification, but the effect doesn’t last. But five or six mini-meals aren’t always possible when we’re at work. That’s when we need to take pieces of fruit, packets of seeds or nuts or perhaps some oatcakes to have throughout the day.

In summary, evidence is building to suggest that there’s a direct correlation between the time we take to eat a meal and how well satiated we feel. So delighting in each mouthful may well be an easy bonus that every dieter can benefit from.
