If you bite the food into small pieces, a feeling of fullness comes quickly

Generally, people overeat when dispersed, or, on the contrary, are passionate about something besides food. However, if the food to nibble small pieces, it is possible to avoid overeating.

Dutch researchers experiment was conducted: 53rd healthy people aged 19 to 35 offered soup to eat while watching a cartoon. The subjects had to stop when I feel full. Then, the same people were asked to eat a soup, focusing on its taste. Note that the experiment was carried out a few days, and one day people could eat soup gulps, and the next day had the opportunity to have only small - for the food they were given a small spoon size.

On average, people eat more when distracted by the movie. But regardless of whether they were distracted or not, soup consumption was reduced by 30% when they ate small sips.

When people eat big gulps, they can not adequately estimate the amount eaten, and vice versa - by eating small portions, people tend to overestimate the amount of ingested food.

If you find a way to always have food in small pieces, you can prevent overeating and as a result, lose weight, because the feeling of satiety in this case comes quickly.
