Im not overweight or anything, but I just want to come in and say that eating slow is an underrated tip for weight loss.

When I was on a cut last year, I started eating a lot slower by chewing more. You will feel SO MUCH MORE satiated and eat less.

When you eat really fast, you can consume waaaay more calories. Not good if trying to lose weight.

I've heard this is super common for other people, but I actually have the opposite situation. If I shovel a bunch of stuff into my mouth really fast, I'll often immediately get full or at least feel satiated. With my current meal planning, that often means I'm force feeding those last two bites to myself. Then I have an aversion to eating anything for awhile.

Meanwhile if I eat slower, I can also eat for a much longer period of time and put more calories in there.

So, some folks might want to try either extreme and see how it goes.
