Yes; however, if our concern is weight gain, then I believe that this passage is more important:
> Compared with fifteen chews, chewing forty times per portion resulted in lower hunger (P= 0·009), preoccupation with food (P= 0·005) and desire to eat (P= 0·002).
If you chew more, then you will feel fuller by the time you finish your meal. That feeling could be the difference between over-eating (going back for another helping), and mindful eating (stopping because you are full).

IIRC, a yoga book I read said that you should stop eating when you still feel slightly hungry - a point that I've anecdotally found makes sense, because if you wait a bit more, that slight hunger disappears. Also, it says that at end of a meal, your stomach should be half full of food, quarter of water, and quarter of air. Gives better digestion. Also seems to make sense.
