Chew Your Way to a Svelte Body
Chew Your Way to a Svelte Body Sometimes it feels like it's a race to finish my lunch. Scarfing down a sandwich between meetings hardly qualifies as quality mealtime, but it's my de facto eating style when I'm under the gun. It's also a habit I'm trying to fix. Here's why: People who eat quickly are three times as likely to be overweight as those who approach mealtimes mindfully. They also consume an extra 70 calories per meal (that's the equivalent of a Pilates class) because by the time their belly gets the memo that it's full, they've already devoured every last crumb. When we listen to our body, we're able to give it more of what it needs, and less of what it doesn't. It's such simple advice, but so often forgotten (even by me). To give my body time to process the food I've taken in, I chew each bite for 15 to 20 seconds, and try not to multitask while eating.
