Why Chewing Longer Can Help You Weigh Less

Health And Fitness : Dieting Tips

It seems like a strange fact that many people recommend that you chew food for longer before swallowing.

Surely if you do this it can't reduce the number of calories you take in? Well, it can do - and here is why.

For many people it takes some time for your body to realise that it is full, in fact one research estimate said that it takes around 15 minutes after you are full for your body to realise you are full.

Therefore by eating much more slowly you give your body the chance to realise that you are full earlier and stop you eating that extra fifth of the portion or whatever, and hence in turn help you save some calories without even leaving you feeling hungry!
