Adherence
Eating rate is a primary driver of increased calorie intake, and slowing consumption through product reformulation represents a viable public health intervention to reduce energy intake.
To reduce calorie intake without changing what you eat, focus on slowing down your eating speed. The paper identifies eating rate as a direct driver of calorie consumption. You can leverage this by reformulating your food environment (e.g., choosing foods that require more chewing or are harder to eat quickly) or simply by consciously eating slower to allow satiety signals to register.
Eating rate drives increased calorie intake and represents an important opportunity to lower rates of food consumption and energy intake through product reformulation.

- Obesity is a neurobehavioral disorder resulting from the interaction of a 'vulnerable brain' (biological dysregulation of homeostatic and hedonic pathways) and an obesogenic food environment, rather than solely a failure of willpower.Good
- Gut peptides such as GLP-1 and PYY, along with vagal afferent signaling, play a critical role in homeostatic appetite suppression and satiety signaling.Good
