While most of us might wolf our meals down at our desks or in front of the TV, savouring your food is better for achieving a healthier weight. Recent research shows that the faster people ate, the more they ate because the hormone that signals that you’re full, cholecystokinin (CCK), takes about 20 minutes to kick in. If you inhale your meal, you might consume more than you mean to without realising you’re already full. Keri Gans, RD, author of The Small Change Diet, also suggests maintaining a regular dining schedule as an important component to mindful eating habits.
