#4. Chew, chew, chew
A Chinese study in a 2011 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Medicine explored chewing habits of obese and skinny men. The larger guys chewed less and ingested their food quicker than the walking pencils that also participated in the study. While we wouldn’t rely too heavily on this technique, the researchers claimed that chewing 40 times instead of the average 15 translated to 12 percent fewer calories.
