You are what you eat, as the adage goes. But a growing body of evidence indicates that it's not just what and how much you eat that influence your health. How fast and when you eat also play a role.
Obtaining a sense of fullness is key to staving off overeating and excess caloric intake. However, it takes approximately 20 minutes for the stomach to alert the brain to feelings of fullness. Eat too quickly and the fullness signaling might not set in until you've consumed more calories than intended.
However, there's an opportunity in the association of rapid meal consumption with gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases, as people can slow the speed at which they eat so they feel full before they overeat.in which 21 participants were instructed to eat a 600-kcal meal at a"normal" or"slow" pace found that the latter group reported feeling fuller while consuming fewer calories.
"The focus would be to eat a meal that syncs during those daytime hours," Collin Popp, PhD, MS, RD, a research scientist at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York, told."I typically suggest patients have their largest meal in the morning, whether that's a large or medium-sized breakfast, or a big lunch.
