A new study this morning suggests you should take your time eating as it could help you lose weight. 

According to the study in the Journal BMJ Open, those who eat slow give their bodies time to register that it's eaten something.

Researchers say those who ate fast kept eating after they were full but didn't realize it. 

The study also found that eating dinner within two hours of going to sleep and snacking after dinner might increase the odds of obesity.
