I love this practice but tend to still eat too fast or allow distractions when I eat. The last line of this article surprised me. I usually need some crunchy foods mixed in with my vegetables and never related it to stress. And I usually want something sweet, usually some kind of fruit or chocolate post meal. I drink a lot of water, so dehydration never came up on my radar. Perhaps just paying attention more will empower me to slow down and really chew my food. Taking smaller bites certainly makes sense.
