Satiety signals take ~20 minutes to reach the brain. Eating slowly gives them a chance to arrive.

Mindful bites also increase enjoyment, so smaller portions truly satisfy.

Practical steps

  1. 1Take three slow breaths before the first bite.
  2. 2Put utensils down between bites for the first five bites.
  3. 3Notice one sensory detail per bite — aroma, texture, warmth.
