Our “satiety mechanisms” kicks in about 20 minutes after we started a meal. No matter how much we eat during the first 20 minutes of starting a meal, we won't feel satisfied or even full until we hit the magical satiety time. That’s why many people overeat: they eat too much during the first 20 minutes, thinking they’re not full. Then, 20 minutes later, they feel “overfull” and guilty. However, if we would only slow down, our bodies' natural satiety mechanisms would kick in to put on the brakes. (Remember that: You can and will feel full if you just slow down. The body's natural signals will do the work for you. You don't have to overthink it.)
