Healthy Eating: Could You Take the Three-Chew Challenge?

Want to eat more healthy foods and less fat and sugary treats? Some experts say it all boils down to the three-chew challenge. What is it?

That first bite of chocolate cake? Divine. The second? Equally as good, as is the third. But something strange happens after the third bite, say health experts and researchers: We don't get the same sort of pleasure reward when eating a sweet treat. In fact, we tend to eat the rest mindlessly, without enjoying it in the same way we enjoyed the first three bites.
That's why some experts say the key to enjoying treats without packing on extra pounds is to limit your intake to three bites--and really savor those three bites! I think this is so true, and a great reminder. (Because haven't we all ordered dessert after a restaurant meal and finished the last bite only to say "why did I eat all of that!?")
