DIT
Slow eating and thorough chewing help prevent obesity and weight gain — a view popularized a century back and now tested as truth. Typically, the chewing process reportedly enhances the energy expenditure associated with the metabolism of food and increases intestinal motility — all summing up to an increased heat generation in the body after food intake, known as diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT). DIT, also known as the thermic effect of food consumption, increases energy expenditure above the basal fasting level -- a factor known to prevent weight gain. So when the DIT increases in the process of slow eating and thorough chewing, it is beneficial to weight loss.
