Slow It Down

If you’d like to eat less – slow down...

In order to eat less – you’ll need to do two things – chew more and slow down. According to Kathleen Melanson, professor of nutrition science at the University of Rhode Island, slow eaters weigh less and have lower BMIs. You can put your fork down between bites and chew everything 30 times – but who has time for that when you’re hungry? Try these tricks instead:

• Use chopsticks instead of a fork.

• Eat with the opposite hand.

• Match the pace of the slowest eater at the table.
