I never realized i was doing this! As soon as I put food in my mouth I would chew maybe 3 times and then get more food and put in my mouth, so i was swallowing food that wasn't even properly chewed. This has forced to me slow down a lot. The slower you eat, the more full you will feel with less food.
I'm also cutting down on my use of hot sauce big time. Tons of salt! |
But doesn't spicy foods boost your metabolism or something like that. I thought I read that somewhere.
