Did you know that fast eaters are about 115% more likely to be overweight or obese than slow eaters? This is why in our program with our clients, we not only talk to them about what to eat, but we also focus on how to eat. So for your next meal, I recommend that you try to chew your food at least 20 to 30 times per bite. You may also want to try to set your fork down in between bites to help you slow down. So let me know in the comments below if you're a slow eater or a fast eater.
