    Yes, your body doesn't recognize fullness till about after 30 min of eating

    Actually, if you eat fast enough, and finish before your body realizes that you're eating, you should lose weight! Think about it, if your body doesn't know you're putting food into it, it won't start the digestion process. No digestion, no calorie absorption! You just have to chew and swallow faster than your brain processes information!
