Compelling Science Behind Bites & Chews Method

Mastication-induced activation of HA neurons suppressed physiological food intake through H1-receptor in the hypothalamus.

Toshiie Sakata et al. http://ebm.rsmjournals.com/

We conclude that bite size and oral-sensory exposure time could contribute to higher satiation within a meal for equal calories.

Forde CG et al. Nestle Research Centre, Vers-Chez-Les-Blanc, Switzerland

Hunger was acutely suppressed below baseline (P < 0.05), and fullness was elevated above baseline longer (P < 0.05) after 40 chews than after 25 chews.
