IM GONNA TRY THIS OUT..JUST READ IT IN YAHOO CHECK IT OUT GUYS..(A 2009 study by Dutch researchers found that chewing each bite for 3 extra seconds could help you consume fewer calories overall. The reason? The extra chewing helps your brain register the food, and thus, helps you feel full quicker.. )

    Hmmm... something to think about as I know when I have little time, I tend to inhale my food. : (

    Hence my Grandmother's advice to chew each bite 20 times before you swallow:laugh:
