I started soft food stage today and in my book it says eat slowly but not specifically one bite every 5 min like I was doing on puréed food. So am I still supposed to set an alarm for 5 min. Between each bite?

I take 3-5 minutes between bites and I'm in the advanced soft food phase. I see how it feels before eating more. Takes me about 30 minutes to eat about 6-8 tablespoons. For me, when I eat too fast, I start hiccupping and belching Lolololol

For me, there was no minimum time but just take it very very slow. figure out how it is sitting before you take the next bite.

I have been told 1min between bites by my nutritionist.

Thank you!

My nutritionist says 1 minute between bites, but I find that the more "challenging" the food (i.e. beef, calamari) the longer I need to take to make sure it stays down.
