“Nature will castigate those who don’t masticate.”
― Horace Fletcher

Instead of researching the latest and greatest diet fad or supplement to lose weight, have you thought of trying something so simple and timeless as eating slowly? This is the first thing I teach my nutrition and weight loss clients. Changing a diet can take time and education, but eating slowly is something everyone can start, no matter what they’re eating, and reap the benefits. Pair that with stopping before you’re stuffed and you can lose weight even if you have no idea what a carb is, or if you still think the Special K diet was a good idea! 😉
Don’t believe me? Check out the benefits of eating slowly.
• Improves feelings of satisfaction.
• Reduces cravings and impulse/stress eating.
• Chewing is the first step in digestion: chew more and help food
be digested more easily.
• It takes a while for your digestive system to prepare for food.
Slow eating = less indigestion and other GI problems
• Eat less = easier to get caloric deficit!
• It’s good for your teeth.

How Can You Eat Slowly?
Here are a few tips which can help you practice mindful eating and assist in easy and holistic weight loss at no cost:
• Be conscious of the food you are eating. Try and have smaller
pieces and bites, which will be easier to chew.
• Impose restrictions in the room or the environment you are
eating. It should not distract you from the eating process. Keep
phones, TVs, and gadgets away during meals.
• Take another bite only when you have completely swallowed the
last bite and the texture (or the taste) has totally disintegrated.
• With food in your mouth, close your lips and start chewing. Your
tongue should move the food from side to side and your jaw
should rotate slightly.
• Find someone who is a slower eater in your family and pace
yourself with them
• Hydration is important but be sure that you do not drink water
with meals. Only do so when the mouth is empty.

In short, the benefits of slow eating include better digestion, better hydration, easier weight loss or maintenance, and greater satisfaction with our meals. Meanwhile, eating quickly leads to poor digestion, increased weight gain, and lower satisfaction. The message is clear: Slow down your eating and enjoy improved health and well-being.
Eat less and enjoy it more with mindful eating.
