The Quote, “Slow and steady wins the race” explains in detail
how the things manifest when done slowly and with steady pace. This quote when applied to eating habits, the
results were simply amazing!!. Lets get into research details, Texas
Christian University researchers have found that eating slowly and having in
smaller pie makes us feel less hungry an hour afterwards than if we had fastly.
They
looked at how eating speed affects the number of calories consumed during a
meal and also asked volunteers about their feelings of hunger or fullness after
their meals.
During the slow-paced meal, people were told to imagine they had
no time constraints, take small bites, chew thoroughly, and pause and put the
cutlery down between bites.
For the hastily-eaten meal, they were told to imagine they were
in a rush, take large bites, chew quickly, and not to pause and put the cutlery
down.
When
eating slowly, the participants chowed down an average 88 fewer calories than
during the fast meal.
Slow eaters also tended to drink more water with their meal,
which aids feelings of fullness.
"The
higher water intake during the slow eating condition probably caused stomach
distension and may have affected food consumption," Professor Meena Shah
said.
"Slowing
the speed of eating may help to lower energy intake and suppress hunger levels
and may even enhance the enjoyment of a meal."
