~Do You Eat Fast Or Slow?~

I do eat very slowly.The chewing sometime causing the pain in my neck

I guess we're always on the go go go . . . so I tend to swallow my meals . The kids will eat at their pace whatever we do . . . I can't even get them to hurry up the eating even if I try .

Many people do not know that digestion begins in the mouth. It is a good idea to chew your food very well. Eating fast can cause all kinds of problems because this means you aren't chewing enough so this could add to digestive problems.

I have always (all my life) been a slow eater but that did not stop me from having a lot of stomach problems.

Yes, I know since I was a kid that eating slow is much healthier, but I am a fast eater and I cannot slow down. My husband is very (VERY) slow, he gets me mad.

this is the thing that i am learning now, eat slowly. I have been a fast eater and i felt the result :(

I eat at a slow pace except when I'm eating fast food - I have to eat fast to catch up!

I eat very slowly and usually still have food on my plate when everyone else is finished.

I've always known that it is healthier to eat at a slower pace, but I have always been a fast eater. Not sure why, but I just really devour my food quickly. Maybe it's because I'm always starving! haha I remember growing up that we would always eat meals as a family at the dinner table. The rule was that no one could get up and leave the table until everyone was finished with their meal. My little brother was the slowest eater in the world, and it seemed like it took him hours to finish his meals. I would always get so frustrated with him! I'm sure it was probably like only 5 minutes or so, but it seemed like it took him an hour to finish after everyone else was done!

Absolutely @LovingMyBabies . Most people wolf their food and don't chew it properly and then wonder why they have Acid Reflux.

I don't eat quickly unless it is the in the morning before work. Then I really don't have much more than 10 minutes to eat whatever it is I'm having. Otherwise I take my time.

I eat my food slow. I am always the last that finished the food when eating.

I usually am a pretty slow eater, but that is also because I am usually multi tasking while I eat and doing a couple different things as well as eating. It kinda drives me crazy to see people who look like they are inhaling their food.

For some weird reason I eat kind of fast. Not like a pig or anything, I just eat faster than most people do. It helps me now that I am a parent because I don't have time to sit there and enjoy my food lol

I am beginning to realize that...slow meal is always the safest option...but if that is so, why is it that when we are watching TV engrossed in movies or whatever, we eat more.

Yes, I agree its much healthier to eat slowly. However, I am a fast eater. Don't know how to slow myself down. Maybe smaller bites and chewing more on purpose?

I think you sometimes must put limits. My daughter was allowed to take as long as she liked when staying with grandparents for awhile and when she returned I noticed trends that looked anorexic so I limited the time she had a plate in front of her. She began to eat normally within a week.

I definitely need to work on that! I eat way to fast

I know that eating slowly is good for the body, but eat fast has become my habit, I want to change this bad habit later

I'm a sloth when it comes to eating, my mama complains all the time! But it's nice to take it slow in 'serious matters', say eating, or drinking.
