Hey! It just struck me when a friend of mine commented how fast i eat. Imagine, i can eat a meal for a few minutes. Few means 3-5 minutes. I usually do this in front of others and i don't mind how fast i do it until one friend straightforwardly told me. I tried to slow down but it really gives me a pleasure to eat fast. How about you? How long do you eat a meal? How should one eat a meal anyway?

Hello rizam03, I am one of the slow eaters. I like to enjoy my food. I also was told by my mother to eat slow and chew carefully at least 25 times so that's what I do and have done since I can remember.As for how long it takes it depends on what I am eating. If I have to cut the food I will take longer.For any one else as long as they don't have any problems I can see no time limit on how fast they could or should eat.

when im on my own, i tend to eat fast because i have a lot of things to do. also in college i eat fast too even my friends tell me that. but im not really bothered by it though, i think its ok, as long i chew my food before swallowing it... lol

It depends on the situation I am in..If I get enough time then I eat slow. If I have to hurry,I prefer eating fast so as to save some time.I take lunch very fast. Specially because at noon I am always at work,except for the sundays.But I take 30 minutes to have my dinner. I like watching television while taking dinner.

I thought I was the only one who eats that fast! My family is constantly commenting on how fast I eat. I think I do it because I am so busy. Usually, I am feeding the grandchildren and children first and by the time I get a chance to pick up a plate, they are finished and moving on to something else. If I don't eat fast, I don't eat. Trouble when I'm aloe though, cause I tend to eat more. Works for me in a restaurant though, especially a buffet. My husband is a slow eater. So, he gets his food and I help get food for the kiddies. They begin eating and then I go get mine. This way, we all finish about the same time. Up side to everything - just gotta look for it! Eat up!

and I thought I was alone!! LOL. I eat really fast.. And I don't know why.. I have never been a busy person, I just like doing things fast. Hehe. The thing with me though is I like talking, I like talking a lot.. But eventhough I tell stories over meals I still tend to always finish my meal first compared to other people, and that's taking into consideration that I don't talk when I have something in my mouth... LOL. Sometimes it makes me think on how I do it. eat fast and talk fast. Oh well, nobody's ever complained to me though. But I read somewhere that when you eat slowly, you'll tend to loose weight, because it gives your body time to tell your brain that your stomach is already full...


rizam03 (19)   ranked 886 out of 5,517 in eating  7 months ago

wow! you're interesting! but you know, although i eat fast, i'm not that big person. maybe because i have an athletic type of body and jogging is one of my hobby..=)


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1069)   ranked 310 out of 5,517 in eating  7 months ago

I am too! I mean, I'm not a big person as well... so I guess the studies concerning how fast you eat may affect your weight does not apply to us. LOL! Happy eating!=)

I can do fast and slow eating,it depends in the situation, whether when i am in the outside and eating in restaurant and other home, i usually eat fast to maintain the time that i spent in eating, and if we go somewhere and if we are doing something i am ready,when i am at the home fast and slow to eat and chew the food, and get some vitamin to the food i eat,and if feel that i had a bad mood an even when i feel sick i usually eat 3- 5 minutes fast and 5- 15 minutes slow.

Almost all in the family are slow eaters including me drool I usually enjoy the food I am eating so that it can easily digest in our body.. cool I think regardless of your eating manners, one should just balance eating. God says 'whether you eat, drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God'..

thanks! yeah..everything we do should be for the Lord.=)
