Member - Slow Control

Because the act of eating is repeated every day since childhood, automatisms appear naturally. They take over during the meal as soon as the eater thinks about something else, is in the heart of a discussion, dreams, listens. As soon as the attention is elsewhere, the automatism takes control. The different demands of modern life exert pressure on lifestyles and on habits, which by dint of repetition tend to accelerate these automatisms. For many people, these automatisms become too fast. The time between each bite is too short. The food is insufficiently chewed. When the automatism takes over, the fast eater is powerless to slow down eating. Why? Simply because his thought is elsewhere. He no longer has the control. So, for a certain period of time, he will eat quickly, eat too much, and chew insufficiently. When he regains consciousness it will be too late, the food will have been swallowed too fast, and will be poorly prepared for digestion. With Slow Control, the eater is warned every time he starts to eat fast again. This makes him fully aware of what is happening. As long as he has the will to eat slowly, it is very easy for him to resume at a slow pace. Fast automatisms can’t settle and cause their damage. The new mindful eater can now better enjoy his meal.
