Why You Can’t Lose Weight on a Diet

One of the things I have found quite useful in loosing weight is to eat slowly. I sometimes observe people's eating habits and in general, obese people seem to be eating faster (sometimes as much as twice as fast) compared to average.

One of the reasons this works is because your body has enough time to feel sated. At least it works like this for me because if I eat fast I will be able to eat much more than if I ate slow.

I think it also helps with digesting since you chew longer.

Yep, absolutely. Especially considering how long it takes your brain to realize you're full (~ 20 minutes).
