Forget Fast Food - Go Slow Instead

Need something for that resolution list? How about resolving to ban fast food? I know, it's hard in our fast-paced society to pass by that speedy drive-thru window, but slow is definitely the way to go. Just ask the folks involved in the whole "Slow Food" trend.

The Slow Food focus is on the quality of food, the presentation of meals, the ambiance of the whole eating experience. Forget shoveling in your food, say the slow movers. Try savoring it instead.

Quick. Slow yourself down. It's an easy way to help control the portions you eat, and it might help trigger your body to drop a few.
