A recent study confirms what many LAP-BAND patients already believed: We overeat if we eat too fast.
LAP-BAND patients know that they have to eat much slower than they did before the band for comfort's sake, but a study from Laiko General Hospital in Athens showed that speedy eating actually slowed the release of hormones that make you feel full.
"Our study provides a possible explanation for the relationship between speed eating and overeating by showing that the rate at which someone eats may impact the release of gut hormones that signal the brain to stop eating," said Dr. Alexander Kokkinos.
