It’s pretty much general knowledge that if you eat slower, you’ll probably eat less. With slower eating you are paying more attention to what you are doing and you notice when you get full. So here are just some tips to help you eat slower:
• Use chopsticks (especially if you aren’t good with them).
• Close your eyes (turns out people who eat while blindfolded eat on average 22% less—who knew?)
• Try using your non-dominant hand.
• Eat snack foods like chips and pretzels and popcorn one at a time instead of a handful or mouthful.
