Eat slowly.....

This is one that sounds like the advice you mother used to give, but there are lots of reasons why eating more slowly and deliberately can be a good thing, including allowing the saliva to get at the food to let it start digestion and better chewing to break it down and increase the surface area for the digestive enzymes to work on.

Anyway, this is worth thinking on:  

studies found that men eat significantly faster than women, heavier people eat faster than slimmer people, and refined grains are consumed faster than whole grains, among other findings.

 (Not to promote whole grains or anything).  It would be interesting to think of how all this feeds (sorry for the pun) into the idea of food reward as a primary driver of obesity, as Stephan has been writing about.
