I agree with that. I make an effort to eat slower and enjoy my food. When I do I'm always more satisfied. It just makes sense.

Yes, me too. And as you say, it makes sense. At the same time I remember the way I ate as a teenager. Horrifying! :)
I could eat a whole swiss roll in one go, or, as I once did to win a bet, eat twelve weetabix and a litre of milk. It's a good job my metabolism means I never put on weight, because I would have been enormous that's for sure!

Who would have thunk it? That eating could be so damn complicated.

I figured out long ago on my own, using nothing but brain power, that by eating more slowly I ate less and stayed full longer. For me, it also aids digestion not to pummel the stomach with an avalanche of food thrust into it.

It they had really wanted to test the theory, they should have had a third group that only used the glutton-meter and left exercise out of the equation. I think they might have discovered that slowing the consumption rate and eating less would have in itself caused weight loss.
