This really helps me, I eat slower, enjoy food longer and over eat much less than I used to - especially pizza:-P

    I do this. It takes me between 20 to 30 minutes to finish a meal sometimes because I'm chewing more and talking to my kids. I end up staying fuller longer.

    An excellent tip. This goes hand in hand with not multitasking while you eat. Don't eat while you watch tv, or drive . . . Enjoy what you're eating -- really taste and savor it.

    so true - it easy to relate food to activities like TV - or with other foods like tea with cookies!
