Does eating quickly make a person overweight?

University of Roehampton and Bristol University researchers surveyed 800 volunteers about their weight and eating habits and found that those who eat quickly are more likely to be overweight.

The participants included adults and children, which the researchers found that both groups do not differ much in terms of the effects of eating fast on becoming obese.

The researchers found that if both children and adults are quick eaters, they develop larger waistlines and higher body mass index (BMI), MailOnline reported.

Their findings shed light on the long-held misconceptions that adults are not affected much compared to children by eating at a fast pace.

The study, entitled "Associations between number of siblings, birth order, eating rate and adiposity in children and adults" published in Clinical Obesity, found that faster eating was significantly associated with a higher BMI and larger waist circumference in children and adults.

According to 2021 NHS data, 67% of adult men and 60% of women are overweight or obese in the UK. Meanwhile, the country also records the highest rates of childhood obesity in Europe with one out of 10 in children aged four to five are classified as obese and increases to one out of five by the age of 11.

Lead researchers Dr. Leigh Gibson said that the study confirms that adults are affected the same way as children in eating quickly.

"By assessing both adults and children, we were able to debunk the notion that adults are immune from the effect of eating quickly on obesity that has been established in children,' Gibson added.

Ultimately, their study suggests that the best way for anyone to lose weight is by slowly eating. "By slowing down and taking longer to eat our meals, we can keep our waistlines and BMIs in check," the researchers said.

The study also showed that the birth order of siblings determines how quickly they eat food, MailOnlinereported. First-borns were twice as likely to eat faster compared to their siblings.

On the other hand, those without siblings reported eating slower than adults who were not first-born. But children in Bristol with more siblings are associated with eating faster.

Adults in London with siblings reportedly eat slower than those people with two or more siblings. Meanwhile, those people with only one sibling are also linked to eating faster.

Healthlinereported that eating fast does not only increases the risk of becoming overweight or obese but is also linked to other health problems.

For instance, eating too quickly is associated with a higher risk of insulin resistance wherein blood sugar and insulin levels increase, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes.

A study, entitled "Fast eating and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a case-control study," found that fast eaters are 2.5 times more likely to get type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Lastly, eating fast could lead to poor digestion as fast eaters take larger bites and chew their food less.

Healthy snacks can contribute important nutrients to the diet. Snacking on low calorie foods may reduce the overall intake of calories if it keeps a person from impulsively opting for high calorie meals.

Reducing the overall intake of calories can be a goal for people looking to lose weight. It may also be a goal for people working to maintain a moderate weight.

Snacking can help promote weight loss, as long as a person chooses their snacks selectively and eats them in moderation.

This article discusses snacking and its relationship to weight. It also provides recipes for 20 tasty low calorie snacks.

Some research indicates that almost one-third of a persons daily calorie intake comes from snacks.

There is no standard definition of snacking, but most people understand snacks to be foods, and sometimes drinks, consumed between meals. The term snack does not refer to the healthiness of a food.

People may snack for many reasons, including:

Some of these factors may also influence the type of snack a person chooses. For example, some research indicates that social norms that support healthy eating may increase a persons intake of nutritious snacks.

Snacking can lead to weight gain or loss, depending on the type of snacks and snacking habits.

When judging whether a snack is healthy, it is important to distinguish between nutrient-dense and calorie-dense foods.

The latter are high in calories and generally high in sugar and fats. What people call junk foods are calorie-dense and tend to have few nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. A person should eat these foods infrequently, especially if they have diabetes.

Nutrient-dense foods, meanwhile, tend to be much healthier. Snacking on these may help a person feel fuller for longer and reduce overeating at mealtimes, if this is a concern.

Several studies report that foods rich in protein, fiber, and whole grains enhance satiety, the feeling of being full. In this way, they may help with weight management. Some examples of snacks in this category include nuts, yogurt, and popcorn.

It is important to snack in moderation. Checking food labels to learn about portion sizes and calorie contents can help.

The MyPlate online tool from the Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides a range of nutritious recipes, including many for healthy snacks.

A piece or handful of fruit can be a convenient, healthy snack most fruits are low in calories and high in fiber. All fruits contain a variety of essential vitamins and minerals.

A 2019 review found that eating more fruit supported subsequent weight loss. Research also suggests that most fruits have anti-obesity effects.

Some people choose to get more than 70% of their daily calories from raw fruits, mainly, along with some seeds, nuts, and vegetables. But this diet, called a fruitarian diet, excludes many important food groups and generally does not include enough essential nutrients.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 20202025 recommend that people consume 2 cups of fruit a day, as part of a balanced diet.

The following healthy snacks each contain 100 calories or fewer and a range of nutrients.

The calorie counts come from FoodData Central, another searchable online tool from the USDA. A person can visit FoodData Central to check how many calories and nutrients are in specific servings of many different foods.

Snacking on fruit may help curb sugar cravings, boost the daily fiber intake, and provide essential vitamins and minerals.

A person might enjoy:

Try spreading a half-tablespoon of peanut butter (48 calories) over slices of half a medium apple (52 calories) for a tasty snack that includes fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

Cut half a raw carrot (12 calories) and one-third of a medium cucumber (10 calories) into sticks, and dip them in 2 tablespoons of hummus (78 calories).

Top 1 crispbread (37 calories) with a chopped plum tomato (11 calories) and 15 grams (g) of shredded, reduced fat cheddar cheese (47 calories).

Grill the crispbread until the cheese is bubbling and, if desired, top it with some chopped green onion.

About 17 green olives (68 g) make up a snack with fewer than 100 calories.

For a cooling treat, try these homemade orange and pear popsicles. Blend the fruit, pour it into molds, and freeze it overnight. Each fat-free popsicle contains 72 calories.

Popcorn can be low in calories if is air-popped or made in a silicone microwave popper. It is also rich in fiber.

Three cups of plain, air-popped popcorn contain just over 90 calories. Some ideas for low calorie toppings include:

Divide 50 g of smoked salmon (59 calories) into four strips. Spread each strip with 5 g of reduced fat cream cheese (39 calories).

Sprinkle these with dill, if preferred, then roll up each strip and enjoy.

Nuts can make a filling snack that is easy to eat on the go. They contain protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

The following portions of unroasted, unsalted nuts contain 100 calories or fewer:

Mix 14 g of dark chocolate chips (60 calories) with 5 plain almonds (35 calories) to make a satisfying, low calorie trail mix.

Air-fryer sweet potato fries topped with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon can be a delicious low calorie snack. Twelve fries contain approximately 84 calories.

Find the recipe here.

Spread 1 tablespoon of almond butter (98 calories) on three celery sticks (2 calories). Try topping these with a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Place a slice of turkey (30 calories) on a plate or cutting board. Spread it with a tablespoon of hummus (39 calories) and add a 15-g slice of avocado (24 calories). Roll it up and enjoy.

Take a half-cup of canned tuna chunks packed in water and drained (70 calories), and mix it with 1 teaspoon of reduced fat mayonnaise (17 calories) and two chopped cherry tomatoes (6 calories).

Spoon the mixture into 2 lettuce leaves (2 calories) and roll these into wraps.

Poach or boil an egg (72 calories) and serve it with four lightly steamed asparagus spears (13 calories) seasoned with black pepper and 1 tsp of grated Parmesan cheese (9 calories).

Top 100 g of nonfat Greek yogurt (61 calories) with one-third of a cup of blueberries (29 calories).

Toss one-third of a cup of cooked edamame (75 calories) in a dry skillet containing chili powder, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Enjoy these warm or cool.

Mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (60 calories) with a quarter-cup of unsweetened almond milk (10 calories), a teaspoon of maple syrup (18 calories), and a half-teaspoon of vanilla extract (6 calories).

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, before eating.

Blend 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (39 calories) with half a large banana (61 calories). Some people might also add a few ice cubes.

To make a low calorie soup, add chopped vegetables to a pot of chicken or vegetable stock and cook the mixture until the vegetables are tender. A person can blend the soup until it is smooth, if they prefer.

Healthy snacks can contribute nutrients to the diet, and snacking on healthy foods that are high in fiber, protein, or both and relatively low in calories may help with weight management.

Overall, it is better to limit the intake of snacks that contain refined carbohydrates, added sugar, and harmful fats.

Sugar is a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in many foods. The body mostly uses carbohydrates as an energy source. Food producers also add sugar to many products, which can lead a persons blood sugar levels to become too high.

Consuming excessive amounts of added sugar can have adverse health effects, so guidelines recommend that people limit their intake.

In this article, we discuss the different types of sugar and explain whether the body needs them to function. We also look at the harmful effects of too much sugar and the recommended amounts to consume.

Sugar is a form of carbohydrate. The body breaks down all carbohydrates into sugar. There are different types of sugars, which vary in the structure of their molecules.

Monosaccharides comprise just one sugar molecule, making them the simplest form of sugar. They include:

Disaccharides or polysaccharides are sugars with two or more molecules. These include:

The body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which enters the bloodstream and acts as a source of energy.

Some sugars, such as glucose, fructose, and lactose, occur naturally in foods and drinks. Added sugars refer to any sugars in foods that are not naturally occurring, such as sugar in baked goods.

Foods or drinks may also contain highly processed sugars, such as high fructose corn syrup.

Various names for sugars appear on food and drink labels, so people wishing to limit their sugar intake should look out for the following on ingredient lists:

Carbohydrates are fuels that provide the body with energy. The body breaks down foods containing carbohydrates into glucose, which can then enter the bloodstream.

Some glucose is essential for the brain, central nervous system, and red blood cells to function properly.

The body has a natural feedback mechanism by which high glucose levels lead to increased insulin production, and low levels lead to decreased levels of this hormone. The body requires healthy insulin levels to function properly. If there is too little insulin or it no longer functions properly, a person can develop diabetes.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the body does not need any added sugar to function healthily.

Naturally occurring sugars come with a variety of nutrients that the body needs to stay healthy. For example, alongside fructose, fruit contains fiber and various vitamins and minerals. Most foods and drinks that contain added sugars, such as chocolate and soda, lack these nutrients.

The Institute of Medicine set the recommended daily carbohydrate intake for adults and children aged 1 year or over at 130 grams (g). They also advise that approximately 4565% of the calories that adults consume should be carbohydrates.

The body uses sugars and starches from carbohydrates to supply glucose to the brain and provide energy to cells around the body.

Carbohydrates also provide fiber and other nutrients to the body. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, among other sources of carbohydrates, can be a healthy way to meet these daily targets.

The Department of Health and Human Services recommend that less than or equal to 10% of daily calories should come from added sugars.

The AHA recommend maximum daily added sugar intakes of less than 36 g, or 9 teaspoons, for males and less than 25 g, or 6 teaspoons, for females. Children aged 218 years should have less than 25 g a day.

However, they point out that many people in the United States are consuming too much added sugar. Adults are consuming roughly 77 g of added sugar each day, which is more than three times the recommended daily intake for females. Meanwhile, children are consuming close to 81 g each day.

The AHA highlight that sugar-sweetened beverages are the main source of added sugar in the U.S., with these drinks accounting for 47% of added sugars in a typical diet. Examples of these drinks include:

Snacks and candies also contribute significantly to sugar intake, accounting for about 31% of the total added sugars in the diet.

Too much sugar can cause serious health problems. It can raise blood glucose levels, potentially causing:

High blood glucose levels can also cause brain problems and increase the risk of dementia, even in people without diabetes.

Excessive sugar intake can also cause:

Sugar is a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in many foods, such as fruits and vegetables. The body breaks down carbohydrates to make glucose, which it requires for energy and healthy functioning.

Added sugars are sugars in foods that are not naturally occurring. The body requires no added sugars to function properly. Many people consume too much sugar from drinks and foods that contain added sugar.

Too much sugar can cause a range of serious health problems, including diabetes, dementia, and obesity.

Whey protein has generated quite the buzz among athletes and exercise enthusiasts as being the "gold standard" of protein supplements.

To determine whether whey protein deserves this title, we talked to two dietitians about the benefits, potential side effects, and different types.

Whey is a protein derived from dairy foods and is sold as a protein powder supplement.

One reason whey protein is the most popular protein supplement on the market is that it is a complete protein source, says Kelly Jones, RD, a dietitian and board-certified specialist in sports dietetics.

Complete proteins contain all nine essential amino acids your body needs to function normally. There are around 20 amino acids, but these nine can't be produced by the body itself, meaning you have to get them through your diet.

Medical term: Amino acids are components of proteins that play a role in digestive, hormone, and brain function.

In addition to being a complete protein, whey is also rich in leucine. Leucine is an amino acid known to help build and repair muscles, which is why many athletes tend to opt for whey protein supplements over other protein powders, Cassetty says.

While you can find leucine in some plant-based protein supplements, these supplements are less likely to be complete protein sources.

Here is a nutritional breakdown of your daily value (DV) of calories, protein, fat, and carbs in one serving 30 grams of whey protein.

Whey is a convenient and effective supplement choice for those who need an extra boost in meeting their daily protein needs. Here are some of the benefits of adding whey protein to your diet:

Whey protein is generally safe, but people with certain sensitivities may experience some side effects, like:

Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, meaning it is up to the manufacturers to evaluate the safety of the product. For this reason, it's important to be choosy and informed when it comes to picking a whey protein supplement.

"I highly recommend only purchasing whey protein products that are third-party tested," says Jones. This means an organization has independently tested the products in a supplement to make sure they are safe.

General advice: An easy way to tell if a food is regulated is to make sure the label says "nutrition facts" instead of "supplement facts," Jones says.

Whey protein may also interact with certain medications, reducing the body's ability to absorb some drugs. These include:

Important: Do not consistently substitute whey protein for whole foods. "If you're always reaching for whey powders instead of real food, you'll be missing out on the essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that also support fitness, muscle repair, and overall health," says Jones.

Whey protein types differ in how much they're processed and protein concentration. According to Jones, there are three types of whey protein:

All types of whey contain small amounts of lactose, but whey protein concentrate contains the highest concentration.

Important: Because the lactose content in all types of whey protein is so small, it is tolerable for most people, even those with lactose intolerance, says Cassetty. "However, if you have severe lactose intolerance, isolate and hydrolysate may be preferable," she says.

If you are unsure which type of protein is right for you, consider seeking help from a physician or dietitian. "The right protein can vary for each person, depending on their digestion, performance, allergies, and health goals," says Jones.

Whey protein is a convenient option that can help you meet your daily protein needs. It is safe for most people to consume and can help you reach various health goals including weight gain, weight loss , and muscle growth.

Whey protein is not regulated by the FDA, so it's important to do your research or consult a physician or dietitian before picking any protein supplement.

According to a study, probiotics also directly promote weight loss and promote belly fat reduction.

BioFit may also help you feel fuller for a longer time reducing calorie consumption and encourage more calorie burn and less fat storage.

The official BioFit website states that their weight loss dietary supplement contains 100% natural ingredients. While all these microbes are generally good for your gut, there is no assurance. Your body type, allergies, food restrictions, health conditions, and so on may not allow you to enjoy the optimum benefits of this product. Thats why nursing mothers, minors, and pregnant women should avoid supplements.

Why are we so fat? This has become a common question asked by every average American. As per CDC, an average American man now weighs 196pounds - 15 pounds more than what he weighed 20 years ago.

Not only in America, as per WHO, worldwide obesity has tripled since 1975. Its easy to become obese now a days. The unhealthiest foods are the cheapest, most delicious and are available in bounteous amounts.

So whats actually happening here? Well, the answer is as clear as a bell - we have been chomping on more than we can burn. Modern sedentary lifestyle has served us everything on a plate as a result of which the amount of physical work we do has decreased a lot.

Add on to this the extra pressure due to juggling work and household duties and we find ourselves binge eating whatever we can find. Constant overeating and weight gain can have serious effects on your health in the long run - cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, diabetes, cancer and even psychological problems like low self esteem, depression are anxiety - to name a few.

And this is where probiotics come in. Although research is still ongoing, many studies have shown the positive effects of probiotics in promoting weight loss and preventing weight gain.

Probiotics are nothing but live microorganisms - bacteria and yeast - that are good for your health, especially your gut. These are the good or helpful bacteria that work by improving the gut flora.

Key benefits associated with Probiotics are -

1. They can help restore natural balance of good bacteria in your stomach and can help prevent digestive issues, mental health problems, allergies etc.

2. They can reduce the risk of diarrhea and even help treat it.

3. They might even help improve certain mental health conditions like anxiety, depression and OCD.

4. They can boost your heart health by keeping cholesterol and blood pressure in check.

5. They may even reduce the magnitude of certain allergies and eczema.

6. They can boost up your immunity and have a positive impact on your overall bodily health.

7. Last but not the least, probiotics promote weight loss and help lose belly fat.

Biofit is an all-natural dietary supplement rich in potent probiotics which may help speed up your weightloss journey by working on your metabolic rate and promoting fat loss.

With special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) controlling more than $1 trillion in purchasing power, any fast-growing company would be crazy not to evaluate going public right now.

Against that backdrop, it was reported last week that Equinox is in talks with multiple SPACs. If the fitness company hits public markets, could it be a market-beating investment?

Image source: Getty Images.

It's no surprise investors would be interested in fast-growing health companies. After IPOing for $29 per share in September 2019, Peloton (NASDAQ:PTON) has soared during the pandemic. Today, its shares trade for north of $110.

Equinox raised money from Silver Lake Partners in February 2020 with the intent of expanding its digital offerings and perhaps even challenging the company with in-home fitness products.

(Its subsidiary SoulCycle recently launched its At-Home bike that competes directly with Peloton.)

However, the core of Equinox's business is its gym and workout club business. Gyms obviously fell out of favor during the pandemic as restrictions forced many to either close or face steep customer losses. Planet Fitness (NYSE:PLNT), which traded for $87.52 on Feb. 21 of last year, saw its share price plummet to $33.93 within a month.

With the United States vaccinating more than 3 million people per day and many states lifting restrictions, the share prices of gyms are once again rallying. Planet Fitness now sits within 13% of its all-time high share price.

Given this environment, you can see why it's wise for Equinox to explore joining the public markets. 2021 has seen a surge of IPOs, SPAC mergers, and even direct listings as investors have scooped up high-growth companies.

While interest in many recent public debuts has waned, Equinox's positioning as a "reopening stock" should lead to higher interest than rival offerings in industries like electric vehicles or SaaS software that have become saturated with public debuts.

Reports are that Equinox could command a $9 billion valuation with any acquiring blank-check company. That would make it more highly valued than Planet Fitness ($6.8 billion), but significantly lower than Peloton's $33.4 billion market cap.

Jessica Rihal is a yoga and meditation teacher, Joyn instructor, and Superfit Hero model. After a long-strained relationship with exercise, she found joyful movement as an adult.

When Jessica was just 7 years old, her ballet instructor took her aside after class to discuss losing weight. That was the first time I learned that not only was I bigger than everyone, but that it was a problem, Rihal tells WH. That was the beginning point of me being like 'Oh, I should be losing weight; I should be smaller.' And from that point on, anything physical, I saw differently. I saw it as part of diet culture. Instead of fun, it was something that I had to do.

For Rihal, it wasn't until she saw glimpses of people who looked like her in the fitness space that she felt hope. For most of her life, she had never seen anyone with a body like hers advocating for movement and for enjoying it. Had I had these images, had I seen diversity in wellness, movement, and fitness since I was that little girl in ballet, it would have reframed my whole persona, how I saw myself, how I carried myself," she says. "I want to be that for other people."

Her Instagram captions go deep on healing your relationship to movement and its impacts on your life. When you're trying to shrink yourself, trying to change yourself physically, you feel really bad about yourself," she explains. "And then it spills into other parts of your life. You think you're too fat to wear shorts on vacation or to even take a vacation, and that keeps you away from any other opportunities. By showing up for yourself and doing what you want now, in the body you're in, you can take back your experience.

Rihals tips for joyful movement: Be okay with not being the best at whatever you're doing. Give yourself space to be a beginner! She also recommends defining what fitness and movement mean to you. After all, it's a deeply personal journey.
