>>I've heard that too. I also asked her about the concept of eating slower so that the stomach has time to alert the brain that it's full, and she said that it's absolutely true. There is a time gap between your stomach being full and your brain finding out about it. If you eat fast, you tend to eat beyond being full.

Yes, that's the whole concept of eating slower so your stomach has time to inform your brain that it's full. I just find it hard to do. Shortly (within a week) of joining the company I'm with now, a bunch of us went out to lunch at a pasta restaurant. I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. Anyway, I was the new guy, so I didn't say much while the others all were chatting away. So, naturally, I finished eating before they did. The woman sitting beside me noticed and said to me that I must have eaten very fast, so I said, "I have two hands."
