She gave each student a clementine, and asked us to think about each bite and chew it at least twenty times. Needless to say, even though it was just before lunch each student took at least half the class to eat their clementine and some didn't even finish. I really think the idea of slowing down when we eat will just lead to less food consumption and possible, if combined with a good diet and exercise, weight loss.
