    I'm sorry, but I can't read anything with the word mastication in without giggling like a hyena.

    That only works if you are in tune with your actual hunger signals.

    It takes your brain 20 minutes to tell your stomach that you've eaten. Chewing more, putting cutlery down between bites, talking inbetween meals all help to stretch time spent eating.

    Most people who have been overweight recognize a full feeling. But feeling full means you've already eaten too much. The feeling of satiety however, the delicate line between full and just a little hungry, is so subtle that most people miss it.

    *** I meant to say talking in between bites, not meals. My phone app won't let me edit.

    Chewing more usually makes you more in tune with your signals.
