How Chewing Can Help With Weight Loss

Health And Fitness : Weight Loss

It sounds quite crazy, but many people recommend chewing your food more as a way to help with weight loss.

Why is this? Well, if you chew your food well you burn a few more calories using your mouths' muscles, it's true. But that's not the reason!

Chewing more means that you will have a longer lasting meal, and by taking your time you have time for your stomach to tell you when you are full up. By pacing a meal rather than eating in a rush you are less likely to still feel hungry as you might do after scoffing.

So taking your time over a meal is a very simple way to encourage you to eat less.
