Slow eating might help curb calories

As people look for fresh strategies to cut back on calories and shed pounds, a new study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests that simply eating more slowly can significantly reduce how much people eat in a single sitting.
Slow eating seemed to increase water intake and stomach swelling, researchers said, while also affecting the biological process that determines how much food people consume.
