Eating - Fast or Slow?

I'm a fast eater.Sometimes I just regard the food as a kind of energy which can keep my body work.I really have no time to eat food slowly.As we students time is precious.

I always eat slow to allow proper digestion. I never eat very fast even in social gathering because it is so embarrassing and highly unethical. It is always proper to eat slow and chew the food perfectly.

I love my food too so I am a slow eater. If I am really in a rush and the food is like sandwich or a fruit, then I’ll just gobble that down…otherwise if it’s a proper meal that I am having, then I must take my time and enjoy whatever is on the plate.

Hi dear! I love eating good food. I enjoy it slowly and allow its taste to melt in my mouth slowly. If the food is not eaten slowly it does not get digested properly in our body and it can do more harm than good.

I usually eat fast. It just has been a habit of mine to eat fast because I used to have tons of homework to get to during elementary and high school that Id need all the time that I can get just to get through all of them. Those were usually due the next day, so no time to procrastinate.LOL The only time that I eat slow is when Im already full but out of courtesy I will eat everything on my plate. I take mini 'breaks' from eating, digesting the food a bit then slowly finishing off the food that is still before me. I taste the food even when Im eating fast. If I liked it that much, Id stay at the table a bit more and help myself to a second or maybe even third helping.^_^ The only time that I can say that Im only filling my stomach is when I really have no choice of what to eat, and Im not fond of it. The action of putting food in my mouth, chewing, swallowing, repeat, is to just give my body necessary nourishment so I could go about my daily routine.

I eat slow, I like to enjoy the taste of the food and the feeling of eating, so I relish it. I don't eat a lot in the day but when I do I enjoy it to it's fullest. I also eat slow as a dieting strategy, as when you eat slow your brain registers that your full sooner, and you end up consuming less.

i tend to eat fast because i always seem to be in a hurry to get to the next on my to do list each day. i know i should eat slower but i don't.

Well, depends on situation. But normally, I am an average eater. Not so fast and not so slow either. If the food doesn't taste good, then I become a very very slow eater in order not to vomitting because of the food. I try to swallow them down slowly, usually helped by water or some little snacks that taste better like tofu. But I also can be a fast eater, chew it 3-4 times then swallow it. Especially when time is running out (near work time, or back in college time, near study time). Oh, and my tongue is not that good either, even if I eat slowly, I still can not judge the taste that much. For me, some of the food really have the same taste while other said that one is better than other :) Regards.

Hello arunmails this is checkmail and often do eat according ot the taste as well as its nature and time avail to eat.Well mostly its medium speed of eating, nor too slow nor too fast.But most of the time its more in fast as less time avail to eat, and is prefered most by nearly all peoples.But yes while having some tasty feast or some diff food to eat it takes time to finish it.And according ot he medical science its good to eat food at an constant medium speed for better health and digestion.But still our some congestions force us to disobey the rule, and mostly eat the way its most easily possible.Anyways keep it up.

I like slow eating . We work hard whole day for what? Its to earn money, with whom we able to purchase Comforts of life(Food, shelter, cloths, other house hold,vehciles etc), to live our first requirment is food( after that we need shelter, cloths, etc),So if we work hard for food,why not giving proper time it and enjoying it completly,I feel pity for those people who dosent give proper time to food and their health cause of work. Take care

I like to eat slowly so that I can enjoy the food and taste each food. But now I have been trained to eat fast or can say a bit aggressive eater because of taking care of our kid. Just to ensure that food in my stomach and can fully have time to take care of them.

You have a good habit. Many reports show it is better for our stomach to eat slow. For me, usually i also eat slow, but if i am in a hurry, i eat every quickly. But i have no sensitive taste of the food. Most of time, only just fill the food in my stomach.

I`m a slow eater too..Like arunmails said you can taste the food good..And you feel more feeded when you eat slow..I`m not eating all foods slow..Some fast..Than are not from my favourites :P But i`m a slow eater :)

Well, depend on the situation. I have to eat fast when I have a busy day. That shouldn't be a habit because we need to chew the food to have a proper digestion. Or else you will hurt your stomach, eventually. It's a long term effect. Some studies show that this is one of the factor of bowel cancer. So, beware. It properly if you love your body. Stay healthy & you'll be happy!

In most cases, I eat slow. Chewing food properly is good for health since digestion starts at the mouth. Our saliva also contains enzymes that aids in digestion from what I know. That is why, as much as possible I eat slowly. It will also let us appreciate the taste of food well. Although there are times that I eat fast when I am in a hurry, most especially when I am heading for a very important activity or meeting.

I'm a slow eater. I like tasting the food and chew few more times. My mom said that chewing your food few times more helps a lot in absorbing nutrients my body needs. I always be the one who finish eating last when I eat out with my friends.. Haha.. They always wait for me to finish.

hi,arun,eventhough i am a science student and i know how to eat and when to eat..but unfortunately i eat fast,means superfast..that i was came to know in my postgraduation.Eventhough we all friends sat before dining tables at a time with equal quantity of food,i used to complete it very early..so..on..one fine day i decided to particiate in "Eating competetion" held on the occassion of college anniversery day,based on the dining table experience.Dramatically i won in that..ate 21 idly in 2 minutes,where as my competetor ate only 12 idly...so imagine.. Have a nice time.

like you i eat in slow pace, i like to taste and grind well the food that eat and it is not good idea to eat in rapid pace you might catch some gassy feeling afterwards..

Eating in an appropriate way would be my suggestion. As I thin that eating too fast will have affects on your digestion system, especially your stomach will have a hard time and this may lead to gastritis. Eating too slowly will make people around you wait, and also your food will get cold.

Hi. I don't know why but I always eat fast. Many have told me that it's not good because I don't really chew the food much so my stomach would find it hard to digest. Sometimes, I try to eat slowly. But I easily forget and munch fast again.
