How to Eat Slowly to Avoid Overeating
Eating slowly can help you to better understand your real hunger signals and recognize reasons for faster eating, such as emotions or simply liking the taste of food. However, eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly. ____16____
1. Adjust you mind. Do not even attempt to acquire the habit of eating slowly before you’re mentally ready. Relax and use your imagination to create mental images that your brain will remember. As part of this mental process, imagine yourself thin and fit.
