The study, published online Oct. 22 in the British Medical Journal, shows that eating quickly and until full has "a supra-additive effect on overweight," concluded Professor Hiroyasu Iso, of Osaka University, and colleagues.

Those who said they ate quickly and until they were full had a higher body mass index (BMI) and total energy intake, and were three times more likely to be overweight than those who didn't eat until they were full and didn't eat quickly.

The study, published online Oct. 22 in the British Medical Journal, says eating quickly and until full has "a supra-additive effect on overweight." According to the study, until recently, most adults didn't have the opportunity to consume enough energy to enable the body to store fat. Due to increased availability of inexpensive food eaten in much larger portions, eating behaviors have changed.
