How do you eat your food..slowly or finish as soon as possible?

I like to enjoy my every meal. I always eat slow

this is my fourth time responding to topics like this. all of them gets deleted for the reason that topics are very the same and it's just being rephrased. but to me, it doesn't matter.as long as I'm responding honestly. i hope this one will not be deleted. good luck to both of us.

I always eat slowly and I'm like this since when I was a child. I did try to eat faster, but I'm still slow compare to my family and I'm always the last person to leave the table, lol. I'm not really sure why most of the people that eat slow don't get fat, but maybe because you can easily feel or notice that your full and not ended up over eating!

I know it´s a lot healthier to eat slowly. When I am with company I do it. But unfortunatly, when I´m alone, I eat very fast to get over it and do something else I try to eat slowlier but it´s not fun to eat alone.

eversince i can remember i eat fast, im always the one who finish eating when we were little kids. and when i was in high school its the same too... when i was in college most of my friends are boys and we always eat lunch together, they said i really eat fast, which is quite good to them as they dont have to wait long like those other girls that eat slows, and they have to wait for them to finish eating before they can go... lol i do chew my food, its just that i chew it fast and swallow it right away... then i get to finish eating right away.

It is good that you eat your food slowly and savor every taste of it. I do it mostly when my favorite food is served on the table. I agree that it is also good for the stomach. In that way, you won't have a stomachache.

If it's food that I really really like, I like to eat it extremely slowly, and enjoy it. If I eat it really quickly, I don't get to enjoy it as much. My husband is a really good cook, and he makes us a lot of wonderful dinners here at home. He's the best cook in the whole world.

hello icesmile! ^^ i usually eat fast. i only eat slowly when i'm with talkative friends, when we constantly chat while we're eating. but i usually eat fast. my boss told us before that its better to eat slowly because you tend to get satisfied faster thus you eat less. that's why she always eat slowly. and when we eat with her, i'm always the one to finish first and its a pain to wait for her to finish. i can't totally agree with her because i also get satisfied faster when i eat fast. but then, i agree that eating slowly will make you eat less. eating faster will make you eat a lot. but i just can't do it especially when the food in front of me is tempting. ^^;;

i eat at my own pace. i don't really know if its fast but i know its not slow.

I eat my food slowly.I know food eaten slowly gets digested properly in the stomach.If we eat food fast it will just go down the throat and will not be digested well.Most of the food will go waste.You should be careful when some people call you for a food race.Tell then to eat fast and then explain the benefits of eating slowly.It will be good for long term health.

I always eat my food slowly :) I usually talk, share stories every time me and my family eat together. Also I easily get full when finish my food asap, and I don't really enjoy the food :|

It all depends the flavour of the food.If the food is very delicious then I will eat slowly so that I can enjoy the meal time.

I like to enjoy the deliciousness of the food. I taste and eat it slow, as it enter my mouth i chew it like any doctor recommended than swallow it. Maybe it is not healthy if we eat to fast, or as a recommendation i would like to encourage you to drink water before and after your eat.

Hello icesmile, Oh, I like the last statement - is it true if you eat slowly you won't get fat? I am like you, I eat my food slowly and enjoy each and every bite of it. Sometimes I takes quite a long time to finish my food and always be the last to finish whenever I eat in a group. Unfortunately, I have one bad habit - I love to talk while eating. Maybe because of the time that I take to eat my food. It is quite long and because of that, I tend to talk while eating sometimes... I know it is not a good habit and it is some kind of rude too.... just can't stop the habit totally...

I am a slow eater. I've choked more than once on something because it decides it wants to go down my throat before I want it to. When I go out to eat with my guy friend, he's always done way before me, but he eats faster than anyone I've ever know. He claims he eats to live where I live to eat. But, I was raised to enjoy what I ate. Why bother trying to make good food if you're not going to even taste it before swallowing it?

When I was a child, I ate quickly, because I wanted to get back outside to play. I've slowed down now, and no, I am not fat.

I pace myself with the people i am eating with. If the group is in a hurry, then i too quicken up, and if it's a family or friends gathering at home with chatting during dinner then i too slow down, but normally i eat my food in about 15 to 20 minutes. So you tell me if that is fast or slow!

it depends, where i was at that time? if, i was at home, surely i took the whole time in the world to finish out my meals but at work, i should be finish within seconds...hehe...like a crazy human. nevertheless, i eat with pride when i was accompany my bos to a party...this is so not me..!!!

I used to eating really slowly before I went to college. And right now I just find out that eating fast is definitely a factor of getting fat! But sometimes it could be a little bit embarassing to keep people waiting!
