Eating Gratitude

Appreciating your food has a lot of benefits. Most people have heard that eating slowly will cause you to eat less. It takes twenty minutes for your stomach to realize it's full so by eating more slowly you will eat less. The other advantage is lower stress. If you are eating quickly it puts stress on your system. This causes the release of extra cortisol and insulin which lowers your ability to burn off those calories. Try to slow down and enjoy your food as much as possible and you could lose weight without even really trying.
