Randomized Controlled Trial
Slower eating speed lowers energy intake in normal-weight but not overweight/obese subjects.
The effect of eating speed on energy intake by weight status is unclear. ⋯ Eating slowly significantly lowered meal energy intake in the normal-weight but not in the overweight/obese group. It lowered eating rate and energy density in both groups. Eating slowly led to lower hunger ratings in both groups and increased fullness ratings in the normal-weight group at 60 minutes from when the meal began.
