RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

To help prevent overeating SLOW IT DOWN. Takes the stomach 20mins to signal to the brain it's full; so by taking our time while we eat/drink we'll be less likely to overconsume. For example, a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition to help those who overeat by having people eat unsalted/raw nuts that still had the shell on them & others eat those that were de-shelled. It was found that those who had to de-shell only consumed 86cal, whereas the group already without a shell consumed 211cal.
