What is so great about eating slowly? For starters, it helps you lose weight through consuming fewer calories (if you eat slower, you eat less) and also allows you to really enjoy your meal. Eating slowly also improves digestion (you chew your food more thoroughly), helps lower stress (concentrating on your food keeps you from thinking of life's other activities), and lets you rebel against fast food (if you are willing to spend time on a meal, you are more likely to spend it on a good one). Take 30 minutes out of your day to enjoy meal. It is really worth it.
