According to a new study published on the British Medical Journal website, there are two easy ways to reduce your risk of being overweight.
In fact, if you do these 2 things wrong, you triple your risk of being overweight.
In a study of over 3,000 Japanese adults from 30 to 69 years old, researchers studied the effect of eating until full and the speed of eating on weight gain.
Using a diet history questionnaire, a little over half of the participants said they ate until they were full. But under half of them said they ate quickly.
The people who both ate until full and ate quickly had a higher BMI (body mass index) than those who didn’t. In fact, these men and women were 3 times more likely to be overweight than the other study participants.
From this, the researchers concluded that eating until full AND eating quickly has “a supra-additive effective on overweight.”
So what does this mean for you?
By making 2 easy changes to your eating habits, you can reduce your risk of being overweight by 3 times.
No diet pills, no counting calories, no strange diet foods.
Just remember to eat slowly and eat appropriate portion sizes rather than eating until full.
It doesn’t get any easier than that.
