Couple of tips here that I've used to eat more slowly:
* Put the fork down between each bite, chew fully, and then pick the fork up again. Those pauses really add up.
* If you aren't very good with chopsticks, try eating with them .. slows you way down until you learn to use them well. Unfortunately, I'm a pro now, so it doesn't work for me anymore, LOL.
* Drink a full glass of water before the meal, during the meal, and after the meal. This makes you feel fuller.
* Eat soup-based things (make your own soup so you don't get a huge amount of sodium), which fill you up with liquid AND are slower to eat.
