Eating slowly could help to block gut hormones that signal the brain to stop eating.



Many diet books advise people to eat less food than if they ate quickly , chew slowly , so that they will feel full after .

The explaination is that eat slowly not always work , but when it causes a lot of work to do, and the gut and the brain.

Scientists have known for some time , what causes belly full of people feel satisfied after a meal is just one part of the brain must also undergo a series of hormone secretion through the gastrointestinal tract to digest the signal.

Stretch receptors in the stomach are activated , as it fills with food or water , these signals directly through the gut and the brain stem vagus nerve to the brain .

Hormonal signal is released partially digested food into the small intestine. One example is in response to a meal consumed in the process of food through the intestines , the release of cholecystokinin . Another hormone , leptin, produced by fat cells , obese signal needs to communicate with a remote and satiety, energy storage for the body and the brain related.

 Studies have shown that leptin cholecystokinin signal amplification , and enhance satiety. Other studies have shown that leptin also with the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain to produce a feeling of pleasure after eating . The theory is that eating too fast , people may not give this complex hormonal crosstalk system enough time to work.

Of course, who are trying to eat slowly , in order to lose weight can attest that it is not so simple . People who are obese , for example, may suffer from leptin resistance , which means that they generate from this hormone signals satiety or pleasure response.

It is also very sensitive to cues in the environment - such as tempting chocolate chip cookies taste juicy hamburger sight - can trigger the desire to eat.

Appetite is complex, and dieting is a challenge. Even so, who is trying to lose weight may want to start chewing more slowly. In this way, they allow yourself enough time to experience the pleasure and satiety.
