Lowering the amount of calories eaten during a meal might be as simple as consuming a little slower based on a report released by the University of Rhode Island. They determined that individuals ate 67 less calories on average when they took around 20 min. more to consume their food. Although sixty seven calories may seem minimal, they can really mount up over the course of 3 to 5 meals eaten every day.

Here is four strategies you could start utilizing at your next meal that will help you eat slower and also consume less calories.

Conversating – Make time to enjoy the company you’ll be with while time you actually have together. Not to mention an added side benefit is you’ll eat fewer calories.

Family time – A great way to connect and find out about your partner and child’s day is to have a sit down family dinner every evening. It is also a terrific way to consume your supper more slowly. Ask your partner how their day has been or ask what new things your kids learned at school.

Enjoy the flavor – Instead of eating your entire meal as fast as possible without even tasting it, consider eating it little by little, savoring each and every bite. Chances are you’ll even acquire an appreciation for new foods.

Put down the fork – Another strategy to try includes putting your eating utensil on the table in between bites. This is best mixed with all of the preceding possibilities. One example is, 1) set your fork down and talk with friends or family, 2) set down your fork and enjoy every bite.

For optimum results, consider incorporating as many of these strategies that you can each time you eat and slowly watch the pounds melt away!
