Weight Loss Tip of the Week-- Slow down!

Slow down your eating!

It takes about 20 minutes for your brain & stomach to communicate the stop eating message.
(How many extra calories can you eat in that time?)

Enjoying & appreciating your food is one way to help you slow down. Use your senses to savor your food. Admire how it looks & how it smells. Take a moment to notice the flavors & textures.

Alternatively, rushing & being distracted while eating can sometimes increase how much you eat.
