Pace and Portions … Like I Said
Posted On October 24, 2008
Since beginning this work almost 10 years ago, we have been teaching individuals a very simple principle.
Pace Controls Portions.
This was derived from the behavioral
habits of the Mediterranean people, who do NOT gobble from styrofoam, and do NOT suffer our weight and health problems.This Medline Article reports on research on 1,122 men and 2,165 women that makes the point. This study revealed that those who ate quickly and until they were full had a higher body mass index (BMI) and total energy intake, and were three times more likely to be overweight than those who didn’t eat until they were full and didn’t eat quickly.
There are many reasons to control pacing. The most important one is that you learn to love your food again. But if you just need to focus on preventing or reversing Overweight, a lifestyle behavior to begin with is your eating habits that lead to speed eating.
