Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It was hypothesized that eating a meal slowly would lead to a lower meal energy intake and lesser feelings of hunger and desire to eat and higher levels of fullness after the meal compared to eating the same meal more quickly.
