The importance of eating slowly

Sensing satisfaction: One of the most important benefits of eating slowly is that it gives your body time to recognise that youre full. It takes about 20 minutes from the start of a meal for the brain to send out signals of satiety. Most peoples meals dont even last that long! Eating slowly also helps feel more satisfied which is different from just being full.

Improved digestion: Eating slowly also helps digestion. Digestion starts in the mouth, so large bites that are inadequately chewed will be more difficult for your stomach to process. Food that isnt properly broken down can lead to indigestion and other potential GI (Gastro-Intestinal) problems.

Smaller portions: Most of the research on this topic suggests that eating slowly helps you to eat less. Thats especially useful if youre trying to lose or maintain weight.

Better hydration: Good hydration helps maintain the balance of our bodys fluids, energises muscles, helps our kidneys and bowels work more efficiently, and improves the appearance of the skin. And one side benefit of eating slowly is that it increases water consumption during meals.

Conversely, if you rush your meals, your digestion suffers. And it might seem like each meal is over too soon, which often makes you want to eat more. Or you overshoot the runway, finishing the meal before your natural satiety signals kick in, and ending up suddenly uncomfortably overstuffed.

Is eating quickly bad?

Weight gain: Most of the research concurs that those who habitually eat fast gain more weight over time than slow eaters. If weight loss or maintenance is your goal, slow down.

Disordered eating and eating speed: One of the reasons for binge eating is rapid speed eating. People who suffer from compulsive eating often feel out of control of their eating behaviour. When youre in the grip of a binge or an overeating episode that feels overwhelming, just try to slow down as soon as you realise whats happening.
