EATING SLOW VS. EATING FAST

Do you know you can burn fat faster and help your digestion system by eating slow and at intervals?
Eating slowly help overweight people lose weight because one tends to eat less, instead of overeating at a fast pace.
The Problem: Eating fast without chewing food properly make you eat more calories. Why? Because your stomach does not register how much food you actually intake. This is why you keep eating without feeling full and consuming extra calories. As a result, it causes you stomach problem, such as indigestion, stomach bloating, and naturally you end up having a big stomach.
On the other hand, depriving from food or skipping meals will only slow your metabolism and the ability to burn stored body fat, especially the belly fat. Your body switch into survival mode and slow itself down because it interprets it as a possible famine.
In other words, you will cause your Basal Metabolic Rate decrease, and your body will not want to burn off any excess
calories.  Those excess calories becomes body fat. This is why we tend to have a big belly and love handles. The formula to burn fat is burn 3500 calories for 1 pound of fat. Imagine, if you keep eating fast and storing more calories than you burn, you will get a bloated stomach.
The Solution: Your solution is to eat slow, chew your meals not swallow, do not skip meals, and eat at least every 3 hours healthy choices to keep your metabolism ready to burn fat. Avoid eating your meals in a hurry.
