To Cut Calories, Eat Slowly

Re:To Cut Calories, Eat Slowly by markbnine on Tuesday March 02, 2010 @01:26PM (#1162110)

when a group of subjects were given an identical serving of ice cream on different occasions, they released more hormones that made them feel full when they ate it in 30 minutes instead of 5

A half hour to eat one serving of ice cream? Madness...

someone should measure the difference between:

a. eating the icecream during 30minutes b. eating in 5 minutes + working out lightly (take a walk) the other 25

I am by no means against working out, but forcing this dichotomy may dissuade people from taking a simple an useful step that could even be aggregated: Stretch out your previously brief ice cream consumption while doing your normal schedule AND go for that walk. BAM! You're an even bigger winner.

One first-order approximation is 100 calories per mile for 180-pound person.

Say you walk 2 miles; you've hit about 200 calories. So a wash, and you had to wolf down your food.
