I was reading an article recently along the same lines that found those who spend time enjoying their meal (20 minutes was suggested as an ideal time)feel more satisfied when finished. And I immediately thought "That's because I could eat A LOT of food in 20 minutes". However, several studies have been conducted that show it takes our brain time to catch up with our stomach and send the idea that we are full to our stomachs. So by taking our time when we eat, we allow our body time to send those signals. So it is just a matter of retraining our body to identify that threshold of being satisfied without crossing the line of being too full. It has really changed the way I eat my meals.Emily Jensennoreply@blogger.com
