I know I have a tendency to eat too quickly, and over the years have trained myself to slow it down.

In my younger days, mealtime felt more like fueling an Indy race car than savoring an experience.

Now there's apparently some science to support all those slow eaters. Seems you were right all along.

very fast, silly fast really, I have never tried to slow it down, but I am aware of it,

I love food, and when its there it has to go pronto, no prizes for admiring it.

I grew up with 2 older brothers and if I didn’t eat fast I left hungry.
Drives my SO crazy as she is a slow eater. Oh well!

Tomas Eriksson · 25 November 2017, 05:22 AM

34, super skinny and I eat faster than anyone I met. Statistics...

TheRolexKingofLV · 25 November 2017, 05:23 AM

IMO there is nothing worse than dining with someone that is racing through the meal like a machine! From my experiences, it also comes across as kind of "sloppy", with not much manners.

It's not a race, nobody is going to take it from ya...relax, and enjoy the meal

SearChart · 25 November 2017, 05:33 AM

I'm not fast but not slow either, I think that's good?

The Joker · 25 November 2017, 05:59 AM

I inhale my food, don't know why, or even notice I'm doing it. Think cos I have no patience.

I'm sure most of us eat more quickly than we should. Then again, sharing a meal with someone who's ridiculously slow working though their plate, can be annoying as hell.

FTX I · 25 November 2017, 06:39 AM

I say slow but the wife would fully disagree.

Canefan1 · 25 November 2017, 06:44 AM

Depends how hungry I am.

littleolemoi · 25 November 2017, 06:53 AM

I've always been a slow eater. Since I was a child I'd always be the last to finish out of a family of 6 at the table.

As an adult I still take my sweet ass time during a meal. Allowing my mind to catch up to my stomach to register that I'm full usually prevents me from over eating.

Also if I'm gonna put something in mi mouth ....... ummmmmm you can bet that I'm gonna enjoy it ahem ahem😉

Super picky eater here. And, temperature is one of those things that I'm VERY picky about. If it's served HOT, I have to eat it HOT. And don't like to have it cool down either. In boot camp the 10 minutes we had was absolutely no problem for me. I would actually ask for others food if they weren't done, or weren't going to be able to finish.

texasmade · 25 November 2017, 08:16 AM

Super fast eater from my time playing football in high school. Coaches used to make us practice or workout during our football period right before lunch and would only give us like 5 min to shower and change. Because of that I only had like 15 min or less to eat most days.

Laszlo · 25 November 2017, 01:22 PM

I’m a slow eater and always the last to finish - it drives my wife mad lol.

armen34 · 25 November 2017, 01:27 PM

Fast! I only slow down when I see others aren't catching up...

Boothroyd · 25 November 2017, 02:03 PM

I take my time and am methodical now. Had a choking incident in which I was extremely fortunate to have had my wife with me. That was the worst feeling in the world, as I almost passed out before my airway was cleared. I really thought I was a goner. Taught me a good lesson.

Old Geezer · 25 November 2017, 05:39 PM

I pace myself very deliberately when I eat and don’t rush. Occasionally if I’m squeezed for time in between trains or short flight connections, i’ll get something simple that I can still savor even if it’s only enough for 2 or 3 bites.

Cru Jones · 25 November 2017, 05:48 PM

Too many good dishes and flavors to eat quickly here. ;-)

Kostas · 25 November 2017, 05:48 PM

I eat like Terence Hill

gmh1013 · 25 November 2017, 07:20 PM

Oh shit.....I did that about 5 years ago in a steak house..on top of almost dying it was soooo embarrassing.....everybody stops eating to look at you. There was a Doctor setting close to use and she saved my ass......she is now my GP doc

Rock · 25 November 2017, 08:15 PM

Very slow eater. Always the last to finish, but often criticised for eating with a single-minded intensity that seems to rub some people the wrong way.

cop414 · 25 November 2017, 10:17 PM

Super slow here, I savor and enjoy my food whatever it may be. Sometimes to the point of slight embarrassment, family dinners where everyone is done and ready to clear plates but I’m still eating.

Rebel · 25 November 2017, 10:42 PM

Fast.

MILGAUSS88 · 26 November 2017, 01:01 AM

My mother always said, "Eating is not a competition.........
But, us boys knew she was wrong.

Fast eater.
