5、fault？”I began. “She could stop eating so much，” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and wellmeaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years.“Its not always that easy，” I said. “Everyones different in terms of how they treat food.”Lucy looked at me, waitin
6、g for me to go on.I opened my mouth, and then closed it.

17、suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may damage the relationship between the sensory(感官的) signals and processes that control how much we eat.In order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake
18、, researchers at the Texas Christian University examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal weight subjects as well as overweight subjects.In the new study, a group of normalweight subjects and a group of overweight were asked to consume two meals in a controlled
19、 environment.All subjects ate one meal slowly, instructed to imagine that they had no time limits, take small bites, chew thoroughly, and pause and put the spoon down between bites, and a second meal quickly, instructed to imagine that they had a time limit, take large bites, chew quickly, and not p

21、less.“Slowing the speed of eating led to a significant reduction in energy intake in the normalweight group, but not in the overweight group.A lack of statistical significance in the overweight group may be partly due to the fact that they consumed less food during both eating conditions compared to
22、 the normalweight subjects，” lead author Meena Shah, professor at the Texas Christian University, said in a statement.“It is possible that the overweight subjects felt more selfconscious, and thus ate less during the study.”Despite the differences in caloric consumption between the normalweight and
23、overweight subjects, the study found some similarities.Both groups felt less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal.“In both groups, ratings of hunger were significantly lower at 60 minutes from when the meal began during the slow compared to the fast eating condition，”added Sh
24、ah.“These results indicate that greater hunger suppression(抑制) among both groups could be expected from a meal that is consumed more slowly.”Also, both the normal weight and overweight groups consumed more water during the slow meal.“Water consumption was higher during the slow compared to the fast
25、eating condition by 27 percent in the normal weight and 33 percent in the overweight group.The higher water intake during the slow eating condition probably caused stomach upset and may have affected food consumption，” said Shah.According to Shah, slowing the speed of eating may help suppress hunger
