How many times should a person be chewing their food?!
Answers: i wasnt sure...and i heard that if you chew your food more...you get full faster...just wondering if anyone knew the answer to this question...thanks
Don't laugh,but that is very true. Technically,a person is supposed to chew their food twenty times before they swallow it. If people were able to slow down in their busy lives and take more time to eat,they would get fuller faster by eating slower,and that would get rid of all of the,"super size,"or,"biggie,"meals at fast food restaurants,not kidding!
Well, I was always taught to chew my meat 10 times. No wonder, it was so tough on occasion that it didn't work after 20 times (on occasion had to be removed discretely with a napkin). I think the mastication should be about 4 or 5 times to enhance the flavour while still in the mouth and subsequent digestion.
20 so they say.......
I've been to several dietitians, they all have told me 30 times for EACH mouth full.
Try it.. you won't eat as much trust me!
