On different occasions , participants were then given 60 slices of pizza and asked to eat until they are full . On the occasion, the participants were asked to chew the food as much as they can .
Furthermore , in a second chance , they were again asked to eat until satisfied but by increasing the amount of chew as much as 50 percent . Until the third occasion , they were asked to chew doubled .
Researchers concluded that the addition of the chew can reduce calorie intake . Currently 50 percent more chewing , participants ate 10 percent or 70 fewer calories than before . When chewing doubled, participants ate 15 percent fewer calories or 112 .
