How Long Does It Take------ To Have UR Meals-----30 or 60 Min ???????  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating 2 years ago

Gone were the days when i used to have my lunch at leisure gazing at the clouds from the balcony---my intention was to sort out the figures(Elephants,Crowns bla bla---if you're patient enough then you can search for them in the blue sky) amongst indisciplined clouds which keep on moving whistle

Some how i had to stop gazing at the clouds(it would be foolish to search for them in the night haaah) as we were supposed to finish our lunch in 20 minutes in my college---couldn't make some time to examine the clouds.

So i hopped onto Dinner this time around---i used to watch TV whilst having my dinner for almost an hour.Thanks to the star movies,HBO,AXN who aired good movies at 9 PM rolleyes.

So that was until Yesterday---coming to the present ---- i hardly take 10-20 minutes to have my meals(three times a day).

How about you then---Was there any transition in the timings "you used to have" your breakfast,lunch,dinner 'then' and 'now'? devil

What ever I do I always do at lightning speed including eating. Even talking, I did not realize that I talk quite fast as friends usually complain that they can't catch up with what I am saying. lol. There is not much changes with my speed of eating now and then.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

lol Lightening speed---It isn't recommended to gulp your food that fast---working people does that as we dont have any other choice to have our meals at our leisure---how good would it be if they offer an hour or so have it rofl.i'm sure they would go bankrupt in a couple of months then.you didn't leave a clue about the time you take to have your meals----One minute or Two rasp

When I was young during my schooling years I used to have a meal it takes least 30 minutes, now a days it takes 10-15 minutes for a meal....


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

yeah Schooling days were really cool(in terms of time we had to have our food)---thanks to my friends who never allow me to have my dinner or lunch for longer hours lol we do enjoy a lot and hangout in the Dhaba's mostly---our favourite being the one which resides by my college whistle

When I was in college I never ate breakfast or lunch, but I took a thermos bottle of fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juice (usually celery and apples) and a bag of carrots and/or nuts to snack on between classes. I cannot eat a meal in 20 minutes, so I don't try as I think it is healthier to starve than to force the food down.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Thats weird---you never had your breakfast nor lunch shocked.I would go crazy if i had to be that way---we got used to it though as our colleges are meant to be brain eaters---so having some food in the morning and noons would come to our rescue atleast to withstand those never ending lectures yawn.I wouldn't receommend any kinda workouts to you lol especially after knowing your food habitat.


myLot reputation of 96/100. drannhh (9919)  2 years ago

We had workouts. When I was in college they still had compulsory Physical Education classes. After playing soccer, I had to run halfway across campus and up 3 flights of stairs to get to my Shakespeare class on time.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Looks like more hard work for you whistle---we used to play cricket every weekend as part of our college curriculum

Heylowublol
What an interesting question! And the answer is, Yes indeed. There has been a huge, massive change in the way I used to eat the meals and the way I gulp it down now.

Sigh! I miss those times too. The times when I could really stare into space or the TV (TV in most cases) and keep chewing like a cow, till my mum would yell at me for being too slow while eating.

Now its more like eating meals is a task that needs to be completed. On occasions during weekends, I try and take my time eating and enjoying. But otherwise, I am done in 10-15 minutes too. Its like chew, swallow, chew, swallow. The whole "enjoying a meal" part is gone shocked


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

My mom was no less---she is used to be at my back when i used to gaze(you can also name it as---investigatinglol) at the clouds.

Every thing has changed now---the way we have our meals and our sleeping hours would be the worse part to discuss about in our daily routine whistle

People in IT field seem to have experienced this transition---hope i manage to get into a good one where night shifts are prohibited---*to many demands haaah* wub

10 minutes that will be for my regular meals. If it is eat all you can that is a different story. I think I eat to fast. Or I eat fast because I don't have time to eat for too long.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

We do strive hard to earn money which would pave way for food to be active enough in out work place,shelter to sleep in and bla bla----but the main thing we are concentrating in here is money---we leave behind the Important things behind which pave way for a healthy life whistle

Hi sunnycool,

I never check my eating time because I did not wear any watch and I did not look at the watch hanging on the walllol.

But, what I notice is whenever I ate at my dinner table, it is much faster then when I ate in front of the TV (watching gooooood movies or news). And it would take more time to finish my meals if I were at in front of my computer watching live football telecast. And I would definitely need more time when I ate at the restaurant that shown a live football telecast with my friends.

So, my eating times would be range between 15 minutes to 90 minutesrofl.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

I never keep track of the time lol ?I dont need one though especially when my mom is at the back of me commentating and passing on the live feeds rofl---she asks me to complete my meal faster---In 20 minutes or so.we cant compare the time it takes when we're chilling out with friends---hours pass by like minutes wub

On the whole you seem to be taking more time than normal people haha to have your meals


myLot reputation of 95/100. akuler (2044)   ranked 1,019 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Yeah ... went out for lunch or dinner with friends make us feel like hours running out fast just like a minutes.

But when we went out with someone we like (girlfriend/boyfriend), timing just like using jet oils, too fast and I only ate half of my lunch or dinner when it is already an hour therewub.

Maybe because I want all my foods digest properly or I take tooo much of itrofl.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Yeah time just passes on when we are on a date or an outing with our girl friend and we tend to chew the food for longer hours lolwhistle

When i was in school days i used to spend most times in front of food, for about an hour only watching tv(i wont try to find any figures thererasp) now i have changed myself in hostel and now during the period of work to spend only ten minutes in front of food.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Uohhhhh atlast i got a hint which would help me to show this world that Vijji is a Fat Girl w00t

Coming to figures---Inteligent ones would find them raspdevil


myLot reputation of 97/100. vijiboopathy (6240)  2 years ago

Hello sunny which school man you are? doh eating faster makes people fat? Who taught this to you? You have to study once again from kindergarden classes. Intelligent people too cannot see any shadows of clouds in tv running some other programrasp try to find some other word to explain about youwink


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

It has been proven that people who eat faster---who gulp without grinding their food are subjected to gain fat compared to those who had it comfortably.

Coming to rest of your response-----i didn't get a word of it surrender


myLot reputation of 97/100. vijiboopathy (6240)  2 years ago

From where did you read that sunny? whistle for the second part of my answer, you have said intelligent people only get the pictures in clouds. I am saying in which tv you can get such images in clouds while I am watching some other programs. lol got it?


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

I read about it in a newspaper or heard about it some TV channel not very sure about the source though.As far as your second part goes---searching for Figures in blue sky is different from watching TV---I was busy with the former in my schooling and the latter in my college until last few months


myLot reputation of 97/100. vijiboopathy (6240)  2 years ago

Hi Sunny as far my knowledge I have not heard such facts any where.


Regarding the figures I mentioned you get me wrong now too. I said about me how could I see those figures in Tv and I have not included you in this matter.rasplol

Hi sunny, interesting thought, and quite a way you expressed it. thumbup

Under six, looking at garden and yard. :)

School and college - 20 minutes each meal.

Office - breakfast - 15 minutes, lunch 45 minutes, dinner 15 minutes.

Now - same as above.

Watch clouds - yes, when I take morning tea. Clouds, birds, trees, squirrels. :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

I dont believe the habitat i followed in my childhood lol---is there any possibility to remember such things this long lol.The ones i mentioned were those of my schooling(seventh-tenth standard) and the rest is of few years back so i'm well aware of thosewhistle

Ideal time for me to study those clouds was my lunch time---as i dont take Coffee,Tea ninja---i never came accross squirrels in hyderabad---i came accross one few years back but they do not show that often


myLot reputation of 92/100. vandana7 (6656)   ranked 663 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Hi sunny, I remember. Partly because I recall it several times. May be it was a happy period of my life, and also because I had my mom at that time. Those are some of the only memories I have of her. She died when I was five and a half. So it is a case of remembering by replaying that bit over several times. I even remember a tea flask that had a the picture of a child crawling in the snow, with a flask that again had a apicture of child crawling...some telescopic thing that used to fascinate me. I must have been around 4 or so at that time.


myLot reputation of 92/100. vandana7 (6656)   ranked 663 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

I had a squirrel friend in Kalyan Nagar. He used to climb the building every morning, run across and possibly drink water somewhere. :) And you can see them if you are looking for them. I dont know if you ever take the turn from srinagar colony towards Banjara hills. The corner area possibly belongs to some government department and therefore there are no buildings. Nor are there any glass pieces on the compound walls. I have seen squirrels quite often on them. :) The last time I saw a squirrel was yesterday, and I went to Shamirpet where I saw it. :) I watch doves - we have ample of them here. Few trees as well. Hope nobody gets into the mood of chopping them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Sorry about your mom surrender

Are you talking about the turn which has ratnadeep super market inbetween right whistle


myLot reputation of 92/100. vandana7 (6656)   ranked 663 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

Exactly. :) But dont go looking for squirrels if you are driving - that is a very dangerous crossing. :) Take care.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sunnycool (3202)   ranked 709 out of 5,089 in eating  2 years ago

I used to take classes there few one year back ---i do visit that place some times thumbup
