Slow down, you might be eating too fast! 💆‍♀️

Did you know that it takes approximately 20 minutes to feel full once you start eating? ⏰ It’s not until the food gets into the stomach and into the gut that it starts to release satiety hormones which feedback to the brain and tell us we’re full. 👍

Most people eat too fast, and as a result, they take in too many calories before they realize they've eaten enough. Pacing yourself can help. Slow down, take smaller bites, and eat mindfully. Allow yourself enough time to experience pleasure and satiety. 😌

What are your thoughts? Has chewing slowly enabled you to feel full faster?
