When you eat WAY too fast and get diarrhea, are you absorbing as much of the calories as if you ate slow?

The Face asked:


I know this is a really gross question but I want to know, cause i have friends that eat really really slowly and are very slim.. i don’t think those who eat too much, too fast and have it go through their system in 5 minutes can gain weight.. can they? please just serious answers, thanks so much.

    Want to lose weight?

    When you eat too fast, you are eating too fast to let your brain tell your body that you are full. it kind of bypasses chemical receptors or something crazy like that. That is why if you are trying to lose weight you should eat slowly, and kind of concentrate on what you are eating, as in don’t watch TV while you eat if at all possible, it always makes you eat more! I don’t know how it can go through your system that quickly just from eating too fast, though.

    Eating fast isn’t going to give you diarrhea, but if you do suffer from diarrhea your body doesn’t take up as many calories or nutrients. That is why if you are sick for too long you should go to doctor to help replenish fluids. And people who eat really slow may do that to make them realize when they are full so they don’t overeat, which may be why they are thinner.

    Your stomach digests the food no matter what, so it’ll take longer than 5 mins. Essentially if you chew your food better (slower) it will digest better, but its not how well you digest your food that determines your weight, it’s your metabolism and what you eat, and of course exercise

    honestly it has nothing to do with how fast you eat. It has to do with how your body metabolizes your food and how adequetly it uses your calories for energy. In fact in studies it shows that people who eat slower get full faster and therefore eat less.
