2. DIET TRAP -- YOU EAT LIKE SPEEDY GONZALES Scarfers beware: inhaling your food can give you a physique that looks more station wagon than Ferrari. When you feel like youre starving, its only instinctual to eat fast; but a 2013 study by British researchers discovered that people who chewed each bite of their lunch for at least 30 seconds consumed half as much candy later in the day as those who ate more quickly. The researchers concluded that chewing food at a snails pace can help you remember meals for longer, so youre less apt to reach for nutritionally corrupt snack foods later on. AVOID THE TRAP -- Put down your utensils after every bite thoroughly chew your food. The more time it takes to eat, the more satisfied youll be. Youll eat only what you need at that meal and be less likely to cheat later.
