1. Racing Through the Meal
Have you ever noticed your eating speed? It may sound trivial, however, eating too fast poses the vulnerability of taking too many calories even before you realize that you’ve overeaten. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, people who gallop food are more likely to become obese in comparison to the diners who eat slowly.
Solution- Eat slowly and mindfully because only then you’ll be able to realize your brain’s signal of fullness. Take approx. Twenty minutes to finish one meal. Don’t swallow the food and try to chew the food until it's broken down into minute bites.
