Now I am not suggesting that you deliver a full blown speech
to your dinning partners! However research does suggest that taking breaks
whilst you eat can help prolong satisfied feeling so of hunger. It makes sense
if you shovel as much food in, like you’re at an all you can buffet with the
lads and bragging rights are on the table, and then your body doesn't have time
to register the food and become satisfied. So you eating quicker will actually
make you eat more. Then at the end when your body has time to register, you
feel bloated and are unable to digest that mountain of food!

| Enjoy the taste of that steak! No need to rush it ! |
Now taking your time at dinner with friends or family,
savouring the taste of that fillet steak, roast chicken or even steamed fish can help lower levels of a
hunger stimulating hormone called ghrelin.
When you eat, remember the story of the tortoise and the hare. Slowly
and surly will get you there!
Apply the same principle to overall weight lose. When people lose too much weight in a short space of time, the body will release a hormone
called leptin causing those ever so annoying pangs of hunger! We have all had
those occasions when we will eat just about anything.
Losing weight slower and in a more gradually manor ensures
leptin isn’t released as the body doesn’t feel like it’s starving! Tricking your
body really. Slowly lowering calories and food intake will ensure your body
doesn’t think it’s in famine! Also helping in the future as your body won’t
look to store your grub any chance it gets!
