10 Strategies for Successful Weight Loss Part 4

Weight-Loss Strategy #4. Eat slowly in order to enjoy the meal and help yourself feel full.
Many people consume more calories than needed to satisfy their hunger because they eat too quickly. Since it takes about 20 minutes for the brain to recognize that the stomach is full, slowing down when you are at the table helps you feel satisfied on less food. Moreover, eating slowly allows you to better appreciate the flavors and textures of your food.
