Deep dives

Eating rate impacts health and weight

Fast eating can have negative consequences for health and weight. Eating quickly affects the speed at which food enters the body, leading to hormonal imbalances and inefficient food processing. Studies have shown that fast eaters tend to consume more calories and have higher weight circumference. Slowing down the eating pace can help increase fullness signals and decrease hunger hormones, resulting in reduced calorie intake and improved weight management.
