Here's my problem with studies like these: anyone that would be skimming this could potentially be fooled into thinking that if they want keep body fat levels low while eating a higher calorie diet needed to build muscle and gain quality weight that you should eat s-l-o-w-l-y, and alls well. However, this study fails to look at the overall picture.

If I were a betting man I would say that it wasn't necessarily the eating quickly of food that made these subjects gain more body fat that normal. What you have to consider is the faster you eat food the more likely you are eat more of it. Period. So of course, if you are eating more food / bigger portions that means you are going to be eating more overall calories. And if you're eating way more calories than what you are supposed to, guess what's going to happen? You're going to put on body fat. That is going to happen whether you eat fast or slow. I don't know about you, but I know a ton of people that are slow as molasses when it comes to eating, and they have guts that protrude several feet in front and to the sides, if you get my drift.

Sad to say, but concentrating or focusing on the wrong aspect of eating to build muscle mass naturally is a major reason why you see so many weight trainers who day in and day out, faithfully, work out at home or gym, pounding away at the weights, yet never see any real results.

Bottom line, like I say in many of my articles, it will always come down to overall calories when it building muscle mass or gaining weight is concerned.
