Don't make fun of slow eaters

A couple years ago I used to think it was hilarious when people were slow eaters. It was sort of annoying watching them eat something so slow that I already finished a half an hour before.

But actually slow eaters are usually healthier. Why?

They eat alot slower, become full faster and stop eating. They stop when their full and you don't even feel full at all right? So you eat more, and more, and more. After you eat all this food and fill yourself up do you feel like crap? This is because your brain has finally processed that your full (which was probably about 2 scoops of icecream before) and sent it to your body.

Then you usually become achy, gross feeling, grumpy, tired and bloated. Imagine if you ate slower like your annoying friend. Then this wouldn't have happened.

What you should do is to try and eat slower. An easy way to do this is if you take a couple of bites of something and have a sip of water (remember to have a sip and not a gulp because if you gulp the water you'll become bloated). Chew about 7-10 times and don't feel bad if your at someones house and can't finish it all.

If this happens whether it's at your friends house or a restaurant ask to get a doggy bag. Trust me, your friends wont be offended.

So don't make fun of slow eaters, it will come back to you on your hips, butt, and tummy.
