I wanna do this during lunch, but our school lunch is legit 30 minutes long. And that’s WITHOUT the 7 minute travel to the cafeteria, plus the 10 minute wait in line

This is such a hard habit to unlearn. My dad used to rush me to eat faster so he could put stuff away

I blame the school and companies for this unhealthy habit of eating fast cos how tf we're supposed to eat in only 30 minutes including travel time to cafeteria and waiting in line for food / turn to use microwave.

I would always get criticized for “eating too slow” because I would take smaller bites and not inhale my food which never made sense to me because if it tastes good why do you want to eat it fast, you get longer flavor the longer you take to eat

I get judged for eating slowly.

Inhaling food is fun, but being bloated is not.

My dad always shat on me for eating so slow and one time when I was little, I had to finish my dinner outside of the house because I ate too slow. This video makes me feel so much better about myself and validated. 🥺

Great tip! I live alone so a lot of times I start cleaning kitchen during cooking, then end up eating a bite, washing a pan, eat a bite, wipe a counter, etc. It does help me get that "full" signal compared to rushing meal.

Chop sticks. I eat quickly, always have. I liked using chopsticks at restaurants because it made me slow down and concentrate, and enjoy my food more. I started taking the disposable ones home, and now if it's small enough to go between chopsticks, it does. It really helps me slow down. I'm too clumsy to continuously put my stuff down, I've tipped a lot of plates that way, but if I have to focus on how to keep food on the sticks... it works

THIS IS LITERALLY SO HELPFUL. I have been eating so fast lately, and wondering why I'm bloated, but it makes sense now.

Yo 🤯 This is actually so simple but so clever! I'm trying this out ASAP

I’ve lost over 130lbs naturally and this is one of the best advices I was given -and it really helped me conquer my eating addiction I developed as a child, living in a food insecure household. Thank you for sharing this tip with others- new follower! 💖

I used to inhale my food as well but now I take my time. It drives some family members crazy but I’m not getting nauseous anymore after eating.

When I was younger I would get yelled at by my family for taking to long to eat, yes it was partly because I talked a lot at the dinner table, but at least I wasn't avoiding my family dinners. Anyway when I got to my teenaged years I ate really fast because I was tired of everyone thinking of me as the "slow eater" so yeah I got stomach aches and bloated. This tip is really going to help me, thank you.

I ate fast as a kid because being at the dinner table with my family was like lining up for the firing squad😂 gotta unlearn that

I used to have the same issue too mostly cuz my family would rush me or I would rush myself to finish quickly but now I like to take my time and slowly chew all the food. All my stomach issues disappeared after doing that.

Something I learned recently is chewing your food to an applesauce consistency, it really helped for me. It also digests your food much more efficiently

A common message I'm getting from this thread: don't work at shitty places that only give you ten minutes to eat.

I got so used to my old job giving us only 10 minutes and everyone was waiting at the microwave rushing to inhale their food. I just chose to starve during work. It was basically hell

Another tip: finish chewing one bite completely before you take the next bite and take sips of water between bites

My brother has this issue - he is in the military and during basic training he often had barely 5 minutes per meal to eat and he needed to inhale as many calories as possible so he didn't die. The meal times were like 20 or 30 minutes tops, but how long you got depended on when you got released. He often was the last group to arrive. Then he'd have to wait in line for food. By the time he sat down he'd legit have less than 5 minutes a lot of the time. And if he was late he'd get in trouble. But not eating he'd have no energy. My brother went into the military fairly overweight but strong, and came out so insanely fit/slim because of the insane amount of exercise they do at basic. He said he was lucky he was overweight, because people that went in super slim and fit were like alarmingly underweight when they left because of the food situation. Unfortunately he still eats that fast a lot of the time. He's slowed down a bit, but it's alarming. I have heard there's a similar phenomenon for inmates because they also need to eat quickly for various reasons.

I've struggled with this for so long and I've been trying to eat slower. I finished a meal in about 15 minutes recently and I was really happy. I'll definitely give this tip a try!

I also find that mindfully chewing down the food at least for 30 seconds helps me slow down & actually enjoy the flavors longer. Chewing my food instead of swallowing after 2-3 big chomps has changed the game for me in terms of digestion & bloating & other gastric issues, even with all of my more fried/carby/fiber-lacking treat meals.

Thanks for always giving quality advice that isn’t clickbait or trendy. It matters!

also, chew for a really long time, until it's mush. better for digestion as well.

Its the thing I hate about lunch breaks. There's not enough time to eat.

I actually do this and my mom rushes me even if we are at home since she thinks it's unhealthy to eat slowly

When you work in fast food so you get 10 minute lunch breaks lol

Please continue this series, these nuanced tips is exactly what people should be teaching

I use a timer on my phone. Taking 30 minutes to eat rather than 3 minutes makes a really really big difference. Also chewing!!! I barely used to chew but now I chew my food a lot. It helps so much.

I hate feeling over-full, so I re-trained my brain to be OK leaving food. If I have one last bite and am full, I don't eat it. Seems dumb, but it actually helped me a ton building a healthy relationship with food and listening to my body.

That’s actually very useful for ppl that don’t know that it takes about 30 mins for ur brain realize that your stomach is stuffed once you start eating

I used to eat a lot slower as a kid but school trained me to just inhale food (otherwise I wouldn't finish my lunch!) and I really need to drop the habit lol

I get 15 minutes to eat after going through the lunch line, in highschool there are no choices

Thank you for the slow eating tip. It is a habit that started bc of school. I can eat faster than anyone I know.

This is something I'm going to try, I used to go to a school that gave us 15minutes for lunch, so we literally inhaled our food or didn't eat. Thanks to that, whenever I eat, I fucking devour it without realizing, which I imagine is rather offputting for other people at the table. Been more conscious about slowing down my eating pace.

As an adhd person (time blindness and fast eating are soooo common) I’ve found this on top of chewing 20-30 times helps as well… it slowed down my counting and I can avoid some tics and stims by using the counting as a stim!

This is so helpful! I think part of my tendency to overeat is that I simply eat too fast. That and not eating regularly enough and letting myself get starving haha.

I also chew thoroughly, adds that mechanical digestion, easier on my stomach!

This is a great piece of advice, I eat so quickly and over eat

Bahahaha I literally was on my preschoolers about doing this. Mostly as a choking precaution but same shit

Your videos have truly inspired me, and not even just the food tips. In videos you explained your love for music, but you hated preforming. I’m the same way, and it’s nice to know I’m not alone and can still choose a different career and be happy. I mean, you did it 🎉

This is a great suggestion. I am autistic, and I have never recognized when I am hungry or full (unless it is an extreme - like headache and dizzy/thanksgiving day full). I am going to try this technique to see if it will help me.

Yep just started doing it. And it is making a huge difference with my GERD. The chest pain decreases drastically 👏

Love this tip! I practice it myself because I easily feel bloated if I eat too fast BUT THEN, I'd feel guilty for eating too slow because everyone else had already finished!

I'm waitressing, if i don't inhale my food the whole restaurant is going to shit without me

people always complain I eat too slow, now I eat a bit faster, but I dont feel really good haha

So glad I found you. Trying to take care of myself better since I put myself aside to take care of my dad. He passed but I know he’d want me to take care of myself. 💕

When your school lunch is only 10 mins long * sobs *

Hey Kylie, I love your videos and I think it’s fantastic you’re making a balanced diet more accessible to those who care. Something I’ve always thought about doing (but my background is not medical) is showing how cost efficient it is to make healthy, balanced food. Perhaps doing a food challenge on how much healthy food you can make while shopping at 99¢ store or dollar tree (or a similar store). Just an idea, you’re doing great and keep it up. Cheers!

I just recently realized this too, i wasnt chewing my food enough also. Now i chew and chew and chew. This is bad for vegetables/fruits. Meats are okay to not chew completely, but your GI tract can't rip apart cellulose so the mechanical chewing is the only real 'digestion' plant foods get. So chewing properly is really important

My parents used to rag on me for being a "slow" eater but I realize that's just how my body processes food. I catch myself eating quickly as an adult and try to slow down, drink water but man it isn't always easy.

OMG!!!!! Thank youuuu! I just finished eating and I did notice that I was devouring my food waaaay too fast! Will forever keep this tip in mind! ❤️

NGL this tip just reminds me of my ED

Great advice. It doesn’t work for healthcare workers. We barely get a break sometimes…

i have always been a slow eater... well most of the time. but when i'm really really hungry / famished i inhale my food 😂😂

When I was little, my mom yelled at me for my eating slowly. So I pushed myself to eat as fast as I can and I hope my mom would like me.

I noticed this effect on accident. Like when I'm eating with other people and there's lots of conversation going on, the food is an interruption to the conversation so it's natural to put my utensil down. I eat a lot slower when I'm eating with other people

add in drinking water between bites and that helps with digestion and also to further slow down eating. This has helped me a lot especially when eating foods that would normally hurt my stomach (intolerance and spicey foods)

This is actually a very helpful tip. Thank you.

I used to be like this but then my mum said I ate too slow. I eat pretty fast now cause of that

I'm the slowest eater in all of my friend and family groups. Everyone rushes, teases and laughs at me for eating so slow. So I guess me caring about my digestive system and metabolism is funny 🙃

I already followed you a few days ago but if I hadn’t THIS is all I would of needed to see to do so. It’s such a game changer I can’t say it enough. I look forward to learning more from you. I have a feeling you’ll be what finally gets me to commit to and achieve a healthy change in my life

And here I am wanting to learn how to speed up my eating... I take so long to eat😭😭

I have a 20 min lunch period. Pur school also cheats us because our 5 minute passing period is counted in our lunch. This is also not counting the amount of time it takes for someone to unlock the door when I come in from recess and the long line for the microwave or lunch line. If I wait in the microwave or lunch line I have 4-5 to eat and if I don't wait in any line I have around 6-7 minutes to eat.

This is really useful, I'll try it for sure! I definitely eat way too fast and don't chew enough; sometimes I finish my food and I don't even remember the process of eating it - like "what, finished already?"

I think the reason why many have learnt to inhale their food is lunch breaks are pretty short. I don't have problems when inhaling my food. I mean, I do inhale it. I have a habit of drinking a lot of water. People look at me funny when I say, I am full and I need water. " How can you fit it?" It just does and it helps.

I literally struggle to not scarf my food down in a minute. I’m not sure when I started eating like this but I’ve noticed my stomach aches are much worse when I do. Definitely gonna try this out !

think i learnt to eat fast cause the last one on the table at my house always washes the dishes-

thank you for this awesome tip! I trained myself through school cafeteria to always eat super fast. my current employer basicly 'forces' us to do a 1h lunchbreak, which in the past i spend with 20 minutes of eating and 40 minutes of mindless boredom. this technique helped me eat slower already. I also started putting down my fork and drinking some sips of water with every 2-3 bites, since we have a free watermachine in the lunchroom. That way i not only eat slower, but the water also increases fullness plus after lunch i've always had like atleast 1 liter of water intake, helping with hydration aswell

This has already helped me so much! Thank you ☺️!!!

Something that helped me was taking a sip of water after every bite

I had this problem as a kid. We made rice a lot at our home. And I would legit swallow whole spoon fulls of rice without chewing. As kid, we were told we couldn't watch TV until we finished our food. So huffing down food as quickly as possible was a big priority. 😂😂 Those were great times.

I wish this were an option for those of us with very limited lunch breaks

I'm honestly gonna try this. I eat WAY too fast, because school -_-, but ow I have more time to eat but I still rush.

Definitely going to start doing this! Thankyou my favorite dietitian 🥰

That’s actually a great idea

its so difficult for me to stop bc i get so nervous/anxious when i see food still on my plate and feel like i always gotta finish every last bit ASAP 😭😭😭 nobody ever rushed me but i guess its just smth between my brain and i, so i literally finish my food before anyone even starts and im bloated 24/7

I did this in college and cried. Like......the difference is amazing. Actually life changing.

I eat fast because I don't wanna stay too long with my family at the dinner table sooooooo

I know this is a channel on nutrition but all i want is a hair tutorial... your hair is fabulous

Hey! If you could do videos regarding nutrition tips for people suffering from diseases like hashimotos thyroiditis or graves disease or like even diabetes, heart disease, IBS, MS, or like for people who have had their gallbladder removed, would you? Just like tips and foods to avoid or to eat. I know it might be a bit much to ask, but it will be really helpful for some people.

Imma try this tonight at dinner!!

Im the exact opposite of this , eating can be turned into a 1 hour thing if i have time LOL

Great idea!

I used to be notorious for 'inhaling' my food. I still have to be mindful of how fast I'm eating. That is the reason we are told not to multitask while eating; we actually pay attention to the food we are ingesting when we aren't doing anything else. The exception is having good conversations.

I just had bariatric surgery & this is the best tip I learnt from my dietitian! Definitely helps not getting over full & stops my bloating

I have the opposite problem.. I literally can’t help but put it down in between every bite or just wait between bites

Im too impatient to do this😭 growing up I was always told to NEVER waste food so I would eat all of it and when I was younger my mom would pack me a meal for my lunch, and since I didnt wanna waste any food, Ive trained myself to eat fast and finish my food quickly so thats I could eat them all before break ends.

I've always had a ton of stomach issues too (ever since I was 7-8, I'm 16 now), so I'll have to try and keep this in mind... It's also hard to figure out what foods to eat so I usually go for instant ramen, or something that doesn't take long to prepare

I would love it if companies/working places could consider giving a whole hour (or even 'just' 45 minutes) to eat because anything around 30 minutes is just ridiculous. I have developed this unhealthy habit of rushing through my meal and swallowing bites whithout really chewing them first and not a freaking day goes by where I don't feel bloated or unwell.

This exactly why I dont like eating with others, I fee like I can enjoy food better if I eat at my own pace while I have to keep up with other people.

Great idea. My problem is my job. I'm a nurse and very often don't have a full break of 30 minutes. Over the years I started to eat faster and faster. I will try your tip tonight, since I am off. Thx

i had this habit since 2013,no wonder my dishes never finish..i literally took time to eat as i was distracted by my phone each time i ate😆😆😆

Please keep the tips and advice coming.

BRO THIS CHANGED MY LIFE

I have started to eat slower and it is a game changer for sure.

I didn't realize my fast eating could be making my bloating worse.

I can eat my food under 8 mins😭😭😭 ty, definitely will be using this.

LOVE!!! Please keep these coming!
