Hello everyone.Calm before the storm. Do you eat too quickly? We have a couple that comes over once in a while we liked them but their eating habit is strange. They eat so fast before I take my first bite. Yes ,they have problem but they do not see this. they eat out more than at home. Not sure if this healthy or not.But do not think so. Do you eat fast?

Generally I do not eat quickly, but on occasion I might scarf down a lunch if I am short on time at work. But I have heard this is not healthy at all. On the flip side, when I was in the Navy, I used to hang out with a guy named Chuck who would, for example, order a steak, cut it into a million tiny pieces (slight exaggeration on the million) and then eat each bite separately chewing it several times. I swear it took him an hour to eat his plate. But that was his thing, he was fun to hang around with, even if his eating habit was annoying as hell.

@amadeo Yeah, forgot about that one. When I was in the national Guard one of the Lieutenants was eating a apple to fast and started to choke. We all thought he was messing around with us. We all laughing how goofy he was being and then finally could see he was not playing really choking. Lucky for him, a medic was right there. Did the Heimlich and apple peace came flying out. It was scary and crazy.

I used to eat faster then I do currently. But I like to savour my food and the tastes, so I've slowed down a lot, and then there's always the good conversation that comes along with the meal, that slows me down also.

No, I love to enjoy my meal and every bite at that. I feel that if I eat too fast I can choke, so I make sure that I eat as slow as possible. I make sure I tell my kids the same thing because they try and eat fast too.

Hahahahaha, this is so funny. I do eat quickly most times, I think it is one of my weakness; but when I am outside or visit someone, I become so conscious of how I eat. God help me to over come this weakness.

Since having kids, yes, I actually do eat rather fast. I think I got in the habit when the kids were little - I needed to be up and about as soon as possible, I guess. I don't think it's good for anyone . . . you might not chew properly and it's harder to digest . . . not to mention gulping air (I have sometimes gotten hiccups from eating too fast).

Yes I do eat to fast and it's not healthy. They say your supposed to chew your food 15 to 30 times before swallowing. I just can't seem to do that. But by doing so it helps your digestive system break the food down better. It will also decrease your risk of overeating. I need to try harder, lol
