I started doing this and it has helped me! I eat close to half of what I did before if I eat more slowly. Although, it did take a week for me to really "get the hang of it." I don't think I had ever felt FULL before. I have felt overstuffed, but never stopped at full. So I had to really concentrate on the signals from my body and stop eating when I started getting that full signal. For me, it took a little practice but it's worth it! The great thing is I can incorporate foods I thought were "off limits." I have eaten cheeseburgers, and pizza and still lost weight!
Hope it works for you too!
