I JUST heard that Okinawan phrase on Oprah the other night. It was an excerpt from the book, "The Blue Zones" http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Zones-Lessons-Living-Longest/dp/1426202741
I was always a slow eater, which helps, because the brain gets the signals from the gut after about 20 minutes of eating. So that's my theory: eat slower.
As I got older, my problem became my mouth. My taste buds want to taste something like salt or sweet and my mouth wants to feel something creamy or crunchy. That has to be overcome by determination. Blah. I hate that. ;)
