The European Food Information Council has a great website, crammed with interesting information, of great use to people wishing to adopt a healthier eating pattern. Click here to take a test to check how your vital statistics are affecting your health.
One piece of research they mention relates to eating slowly. The research showed that people who eat slowly tend to eat fewer calories, drink more water with their meal, get more pleasure from eating and feel more satisfied afterwards. It takes stretch receptors in the stomach about 20 minutes to work out that the stomach is full. So eating slowly means that you are more aware of these internal sensations.
On the other hand, a different study shows that eating fast correlates with insulin resistance and thus to some increased risk of diabetes.

I am glad to see someone of your profession helping with useful tips on weight loss. I once saw a hypnkthrapist for weight loss and felt it was only about the session, and not real information that is needed to help my weight loss efforts. The hypnotherapy didn't work for me, but I am glad to see it is working for others.
