Take the pause that reduces!
Eat slowly for the first 10 minutes of a meal, and your brain will help you with your weight loss. High-tech images of the brains of 21 adults showed that 10 minutes after they started eating a meal, their brain turned off their appetite switch. At that point, the urge to continue eating lessens. So learn to pace yourself for 10 minutes instead of wolfing down your food, and you'll find yourself satisfied with a smaller meal and larger weight loss(Nature, June 29, 2000).
