Lose Weight by Eating Slower. A Healthy way to Weight Loss!

 You have just asked yourself  "How in the world can I experience healthy weight loss by eating slower?"  If you didn't maybe you should. In this article, you will learn how this works and how this can benefit you health wise and weight loss wise.  That is a good thing right?  I thought so.

Believe it or not you can lose weight, get healthy and stay that way, if you follow this fat shedding advice. It is literally one of the best pieces of advice you will learn. And it is something you can start today! Drum roll please! Eat your food slowly. Your brain can take as much as 20 minutes or more to process that you are full.

Hunger actually happens in your brain, not your stomach. When your stomach is full, it sends a signal to your brain saying OK we can stop eating now.  Mine does not listen sometimes. LOL.  However, it takes a little time for that signal to hit your brain. Meanwhile, you are continuing to put that food into your body, before that signal reaches your brain.  Well at least that is how I did it.

The Chinese have a saying “eat until you are two thirds full.” This is excellent advice because after you stop eating, you will continue to feel more full as the brain processes the food you have just eaten. In fact, studies have shown that people routinely eat 100 to 200 more calories than they need each sitting just because they don’t stop when they ought to. We like to eat until we are totally full.  So by slowing down your food consumption will actually allow your brain more time to process the signals that tell it you are getting full.

People who eat slower tend to weigh less in general.

In one study, women were monitored at two meals. In the first meal, they were given a large plate of pasta and told to eat it quickly. In the second meal, they were told to chew each bite at least 20 times. In the first meal, they ate an average of 646 calories in 9 minutes. In the second meal, they ate 579 calories in 29 minutes before they felt full.

In addition to the benefits of losing weight, when you eat your food slowly, you will enjoy it more. You can eat a small amount of an indulgent food rather than a big hunk of cake. But, you will experience a higher level of satisfaction with the smaller amount.

You will also be better able to digest your food. Digestion starts in the mouth. The more work your mouth does, the less work your stomach will have to do.  Paying attention to your eating habits can also reduce the amount of stress in your life. Meal time will become a time of relaxation and rejuvenation, rather than one more harried activity in the day.

In conclusion, if you are like me or how I use to be? This information will help you.  I use to get my meal and scarf it down.  I would inhale it.  I have found that by eating my food slower and stopping when I am starting to feel full, it has really helped me in my weight loss.  Exercise and portions are important factors as well, when you are out to lose weight. but by just eating slower and stopping early can really help you in a healthy weight loss.
