Article Synopsis
- The study examined how eating speed affects the thermic effect of food (TEF) using a controlled meal with identical calorie content.
- When participants (nine non-obese young women) ate a 350 kcal meal in 5 minutes, their TEF was significantly lower compared to eating the same meal over 15 minutes.
- The findings suggest that faster eating reduces TEF, possibly due to a lower frequency of chewing, which impacts the sympathetic nervous system activity.
