Eating Fast Can Make You Fat

Eating fatty foods, sweet, with a excess portion, it definitely makes you at risk of obesity. But there is one thing that could trigger the risk of obesity, which is eating too fast. In fact, according to research from Osaka University, Japan, the risk is doubled!

 According to Professor Ian McDonald from Nottingham University, eating too fast will override the mechanism that informs the brain that we are full. "The nerves send signals to the brain that the stomach is bulging. But at the same time, a hormone called ghrelin, which is released when the stomach empties to trigger the message-hungry start to decline," he said.

The message contains a "stop eating" it takes 20 minutes (once you start eating) to reach the brain. Imagine if you are classified as fast eaters, in 20 minutes you would have to eat too much.

In addition, according to Dr. David Forecast, consultant gastroenterologist at the London Clinic and St. Mark's Hospital, eating too fast also causes your bloating and discomfort in the abdomen.

"You will swallow the air in large quantities, which can cause discomfort in the digestive tract," he said. "If you feel comfortable, but not too full when standing, its sign you have enough to eat."
