Eating at a more measured pace can help maintain weight and even promote weight loss, especially if it is done three times a day, she said. That could lead to 210 fewer calories daily.

Dance classes offered in fight against obesityPublished: Monday, 4 December, 2006, 12:46 PM Doha Time
LONDON: Dance classes are to be provided on Britain’s public health service to counter declining fitness levels and prevent a national obesity epidemic, the Independent on Sunday revealed.
The newspaper said the department of health was to outline a campaign in the coming week to encourage Britons to take more exercise in England and Wales.
Doctors’ surgeries will hand out questionnaires to determine daily exercise levels and those patients deemed to be too sedentary will be prescribed a diet of activities including street-dancing, tango classes and trampolining.
The activities will be funded by local healthcare providers, who are part of the country’s free-care-for-all National Health Service (NHS).
A department of health spokeswoman said a series of pilot projects had shown that "physical activity interventions were cost effective and saved the NHS money in the long run".
Public Health Minister Caroline Flint would make an announcement tomorrow, she added.
Britain’s status as the fat man of Europe was confirmed by a government report in October that showed adult obesity rates were the highest in Europe at 24% - and that children were rapidly catching up.
In August, a report forecast that 19% of boys aged between two and 15 years old and 22% of girls will be obese by 2010, compared to 33% of men and 28% of women at the same time.
Child obesity was forced up the political agenda in Britain last year by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s campaign for better school dinners, which led to ministers announcing an extra £280mn funding.
Last month, Britain announced it was to ban adverts for junk food on children’s television to cut child obesity rates, although consumer and health groups said the restrictions should cover all programming before 9pm. – AFP

It started in 1972 as a hypothesis that eating slowly would allow the body time for the development of satiety [fullness], and we would eat less. Since then it has become common knowledge, but no studies had been conducted to prove it.
When the women were told not to pause between bites, they averaged 646 calories in nine minutes. The same meal - pasta with tomato and vegetable sauce and Parmesan cheese - contained only 579 calories when participants put their forks down between bites and chewed, finishing in 29 minutes. An hour later, the second group still felt full from their meal.
