When I eat chocolate candies I roll them in my mouth and let them melt for as long as possible. I enjoy them so much more this way, and it takes WAY, WAY, WAY less to feel "satisfied" (and by that I don't mean physically satisfied, I mean mentally/emotionally...or for whatever reason we all want chocolate!). I think the pace at which we eat is so important. I have a terrible memory but will never forget eating dinner with my in-laws for the first time. I felt SO rushed. I had taken 2 bites before they were clearing their plates. I always feel awkward being the only person eating, so I picked up speed, too. And I still do! It's horrible! My husband still eats this way and it drives me bananas! Dinner should be more than 3.5 minutes! If I work 1-2 hours on preparing a meal, I'll be savoring it for as long as it stays warm on my plate :) .-= Nicole, RD´s last blog ..<a href="http://preventionrd.com/2010/03/08/an-inconvenient-challenge-eat-real-food-for-a-month/" rel="nofollow">“An inconvenient challenge: Eat ‘real food’ for a month”</a> =-.
