"According to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), eating a meal quickly, as compared to slowly, curtails the release of hormones in the gut that induce feelings of being full. The decreased release of these hormones, can often lead to overeating.The choice of what you eat makes a difference.
'Most of us have heard that eating fast can lead to food overconsumption and obesity, and in fact some observational studies have supported this notion,' said Alexander Kokkinos, MD, PhD, of Laiko General Hospital in Athens Greece and lead author of the study. 'Our study provides a possible explanation for the relationship between speed eating and overeating by showing that the rate at which someone eats may impact the release of gut hormones that signal the brain to stop eating.'"
Speed is not the entire story.
It is a very small part.
