There is some evidence that there is a link between eating too quickly and being overweight. That's why we have some tips for those who always finish their meal first.
Read more about the link between eating fast and being overweight. Unfortunately, there is no formula to calculate how long you should be on your meal. You probably know yourself whether you eat fast or not. Slow down if you are a fast eater. These tips will help you:
1. Focus your attention on the food Don't watch TV while eating or scroll through your Instagram feed. Preferably sit at the dining table and chew every bite well.
2. Use smaller cutlery
With smaller cutlery you automatically take smaller bites, so that it takes a little longer to finish your plate.
3. Put your cutlery down after every bite
And don't start the next bite until you've swallowed the previous one completely.
4. Taste what you eat
Be aware of the taste and structure with every bite.
5. Eat from a smaller plate
On a smaller plate, a smaller portion appears larger. Optical illusion, but it does make you eat less.
6. Eat with chopsticks
Chops aren't just for sushi, they also help you eat more slowly.
