    Eating while standing

    Just a quick question: Is it true that it isn't good for your digestion? My mom gives me a lot of crap because I do it often and don't feel like it hurts me in anyway, so I'm wondering if it really is harmful or if it's just superstition.

    It's psychosomatic, you can eat whilst standing or sitting, unless you're attempting to lose weight/have an eating disorder, then it's best to eat sitting. Other than that it's all superstitious crap, you'll be fine.

    Technically, yes, but it's flawed scientific 'proof' everyone's metabolism is different, the digestion track works less efficiently when standing.

    You tend to eat more when you stand up, that's all.

    From personal experience I just feel like eating while standing allows me to eat more.

    But like he said, do what your mom tells you to do, she's the only mother you'll ever have.

    if the last thing that determines weight gain for you is either eating while standing or sitting, get some fucking exercise!

    Not sure if serious, or just very, very stupid.

    And it depends on your metabolism as far as I'm aware. Plus you tend to feel hungrier if standing up (supposedly, never noticed it myself but various reputable sources suggest so) so you may eat more.

    I think it all depends on your metabolism. If your have a strong metabolism then it won't affect you because it's just a miniscule change in the way your food is digested HOWEVER I've been told that eating standing up could cause you to retain more of the "unwanted" parts of food. If I were you I'd just eat sitting down, especially if you are self concious about your weight/have a slow working metabolism.
