Interview: Lead investigator Dr. Meena Shah talks about new research published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may impair the relationship between the sensory signals and processes that regulate how much we eat. Interesting similarities and differences between normal and overweight and obese groups emerged. December 30, 2013 (DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2013.11.002)
