PROMOTER 1: Eating Too Quickly
Researchers typically do not utilize everyday slang
when writing their articles. However, consider the
following: “e warning we were given as children
that wolfing down your food will make you fat may
in fact have a physiological explanation.” is statement
was made based upon a study outcome, which
demonstrated that consuming the same meal over
a 30-minute period led to greater satiety compared
with eating the same meal in 5 minutes.1 Higher
concentrations of gut peptides and perhaps hypothalamic
signaling are the reasons for this outcome.
So, if you want to lose weight, eating more
slowly is advisable. Eating more slowly will lead to
greater satiety and thus less caloric consumption.1
Most everyone has had this happen. You only need
to consider a restaurant eating experience wherein
consuming the appetizer and drinking some
water led to a feeling of fullness, such that you or
someone else says, “I feel too full to eat the main
course,” but you eat it anyway.
