Unit 64 细嚼慢咽
Most of us eat way too quickly.And that may be one reason why we eat too much-because our stomachs need time to realize they're full.What's more,research shows that food eaten quickly may be more readily stored as fat.
大多数的人吃东西都吃得太快了。那可能是我们吃得太多的原因之一,因为我们的胃是需要时间来了解自己是不是已经填满食物了。再者,研究报告显示,快速下咽的食物很可能比较容易囤积为脂肪。

You' 11 eat less and enjoy it more.
要慢慢地咀嚼你的食物。每一口食物要咀嚼十二次之多。每吃一口后就把叉子或汤匙放下。吃到一半时可以暂停一下,也可以不时地和朋友愉快地交谈来中断一下你的进食,或者拨弄你的食物。用各种办法来延长你用餐的时间。这样你会吃得少,却享受得多。
