Such a pity many workplaces and schools allow only 30minutes food break. After years of 'inhaling' my lunch, I noticed I always eat super fast unless I watch yt shorts
I've definitely had to learn this. I didn't eat too fast most of the time, but faster than I do now. I have stomach pain often, and one of the simplist/simplest things I learned that helped prevent them from happening or made them less painful, was eating slower, taking my time. I don't know what I have, I still have to talk to a gastroenterologist about that.
I love seeing my fellows who also had to sit at the table for hours becuase we ate too slow. It also didn't help that I had an undiagnosed condition that made it very hard for me to eat big portions. Many long table nights
Also parent if you notice your children doing this help then to realize how fast they're eating and if it is a problem for them to slow down give them small amount of food at a time, if possible. Help them slow down
I'm really gonna keep this with me cause it's so true. When I was a kid every Friday we'd eat dinner while watching a movie or something on Tv. I would always eat super slow when it came watching and eating. My parents would tell me to eat faster so I wouldn't take an hr to finish my meal. Once I became a teen, I started to eat in 5-10mins, always go back for seconds, as I felt like if I'm watching something, I need to be eating, and ended up overeating all the time. Now at least I'm starting to fix my habits, but it did wreck me for a bit. I'm not gonna blame my parents though, they just wanted to clean up before 8pm.
i’ve noticed for a long time i’m just a slow eater because i always finish my food last. it’s not a problem to me at all and im not so slow that my food is cold towards the end. i’m just smaller than my siblings and have a smaller mouth so i take smaller bites and i chew thoroughly. the only time it ever been a “problem” was when i was on a date with someone and beforehand i even said, “hey just a heads up, im a slow eater” he proceeded to inhale his entire plate in minutes, i took my time so i wouldn’t make myself sick and just paced myself like i usually do. at some point he was like “yeah you eat too slow” and i just remember thinking he can just suck it up. i dont know why it bothered me so much but it did.
I think this start from school and work… you go like up for lunch at school… say your lunch period was 30 minutes and then you wait 10 minutes for your food… you only have 20 minutes to eat.. best case scenario but others only had 10-15 left plus still going to the bathroom and just relaxing and sitting there… obviously you scarf down your food…
I eat at normal pace, usually takes me 20-30 minutes to finish. I can't tell you how many times I got criticized for it in family functions and stuff. These people will be inhaling in 10 mins nd then while feeling bloated and looking for some digestive syrup complaint how i should eat faster
Also when eating with spoon, I try to scoop so that it only fills half of the spoon. It helps me a lot since the smaller portion makes it easier to chew.
THANK YOU. It actually works though, I didn’t notice the difference when I do this before, but now thinking back at it, I do eat slower when I put my utensils down between bites 😭
I can't. Sometimes I get literally 20 minutes to eat at work. And that's 5-10 minutes waiting for food to come from the galley. But I guess I'll try this when I have extra time.
Truly the damage short lunch periods have done on our populations bowel system…. I was a slow eater who got trained out of it because my lunches were illegally short. Another excellent tip is simply to CHEW! CHEW SO MUCH!
this is a life changing tip for me thank you so much <3 trying to chew slower just didn't work and it made me bored but this is a really good tactile trick, such a small change but so helpful!
I get very anxious eatibg slow infront of my family members because im always the last one at the table. Sometimes they would assume i dont like it because im taking my time
I like talking to a friend or watching a video. Something to remind me to slow down and enjoy moment. But it never occurred that it might be helping my digestion, too! It's always been a mental health consideration.
You look great you sound great and you're smart.
But you talk a little bit too fast. Housing sales for 30 years you may want to slow down a little bit
I did not hear a word she said

You even talk too fast! 😊

Anorexia
Doing this is so aggravating I just wanna get it over with
THANK YOU MA'AM
Great advice
Also not knowing when to stop eating is also a problematic habit I have that I want to fix
Im loving your hair dye!

I know the importance of eating slowly, but I simply don't enjoy my meal if I dont eat it all at once fast 😅

Hence why corporate America ruined lunch times for all of us but ghe executives.
Right
Thanks for this tip❤
Also chew for longer !!
I lobe you

I would like the scientific expiation to how putting down your meal/fork and knife, makes the stomach acids dissolve food faster.
So true
I taught my self that food is to be enjoyed so I take my sweet time enjoying it which mad me happier😁
Your catchphrase " always remember what you can add TO, not what you can subtract FROM… your meals" has probably helped save my life.
Ngl when I was younger I use to deadass just take as many bites as I could in one for no reason at all😂
Also when eating with spoon, I try to scoop so that it only fills half of the spoon. It helps me a lot since the smaller portion makes it easier to chew.
My dietician when I was young told me to eat a bite and then count till 10..then grab another bite
That sandwich looks amazing. Where is the recipe?
I've been a slow eater, I just don't know why lol
I eat incredibly fast I think but don’t get stomach aches and stuff, but maybe I do eat too much 🤔
THANK YOU. It actually works though, I didn’t notice the difference when I do this before, but now thinking back at it, I do eat slower when I put my utensils down between bites 😭

Or try watching something while you're eating. Like a TV show. It makes you want to eat slower because you want to watch the TV show longer.

I get very anxious eatibg slow infront of my family members because im always the last one at the table. Sometimes they would assume i dont like it because im taking my time
As for me, i bought slightly smaller than normal spoon so i can take my time in small bites and it worked tremendously for me.
I needed this so bad 🙏

I’m the same way because of public school. Didn’t have anytime to enjoy food or eat properly
Thats why I sometimes order really spicy yummy food. Slows me down.
This is actually a super good tip!! Thank u❤️
