A study has found that people who chew their food slower end up losing more weight. Just making sure to chew each mouthful of food for 30 secs (23 to 32X) can lead to 5lbs of weight loss over 6 months. A control group who ate normally gained around 8lbs. No exercise or major eating plan change was involved.
