  • Self-reported data showed that as the categorized speed of eating moved from slow to fast, BMI increased significantly in both genders, even after accounting for age, lifestyle, and energy intake.
  • The findings suggest that eating quickly may contribute to obesity, highlighting the importance of eating behaviors in managing weight.]
