i recently read an article saying that thin people generally eat slow. i'm just wondering if that's true because i like to eat fast!

I eat fast. So unladylike and I don't care! I can't eat slow! I just can't.0

I believe it's just a personal preference. There might by some truth to getting a more full feeling by eating slowly as it might allow chemical signals to reach your brain etc, etc, yada yada yada. *shrug*0

I eat fast, and lots. I have nothing of value to contribute though, unfortunately.0

I eat super fast, always have.0

I find that eating slowly encourages you to be more mindful about what you're eating. I also get more enjoyment out of my meals that way. Scarfing down a 400-calorie sandwich in three minutes isn't as enjoyable for me as taking longer to really enjoy it.0

On the run right now but numerous studies have suggested eating slow is better. You tend not to eat as much and get fuller faster. Same thing with eating off smaller plates. It is all about convincing your mind and body that you are full.0

My husband eats like the Tazmanian Devil would, super fast. Compared to that, I do eat slowly, but so would 99% of the people out there.0

I think so. I think if you eat faster, you will lose weight faster.0 -
Myself, I'm a slow and dainty eater.
The reason it's said that people who eat more slowly and take smaller bites are thinner is because they generally eat smaller portions. The reason for that is a little complicated to explain, but I'll make an effort -- whichever rate you eat, fast or slow, your stomach becomes full after the same amount of food. However, your brain/body doesn't yet recognize that it's full and it won't for another few minutes, so you keep eating after that point. The faster you eat, the more food you consume after the "full" point before your body recognizes, "Oh, hey, wait, I'm full now! Time to stop eating." People who eat more slowly may still consume some after the body is full, but they consume less food in the time it takes their brain/body to catch up to that realization than someone who eats quickly.0 -
I like to eat relatively slowly. I can make my 6 oz Greek yogurt last for about 20 minutes--especially if I put chia seeds in it. I like when they gel up--they help me feel fuller longer, too. I think there is truth to the fact that eating slowly allows your stomach to communicate a feeling of satiety to your brain, so you are less likely to overeat. I heard that it takes about 20 minutes for that to occur.0
