Health Tip: Slow Down When You Eat

(HealthDay News) -- If you've resolved to lose weight, taking the time to savor your food may be an easy way to help you eat less.

The American Dietetic Association suggests how to eat slower:

• Put down your utensils between each bite.
• Use chopsticks instead of Western utensils.
• Chew your food completely before swallowing.
• Make meal time a social time. Engage in conversation to stretch out the meal and interrupt your eating.
