Slow down

Our sense of satiety lags behind our consumption. Since it takes some time for our feelings of fullness to register, it doesn't help that we eliminate factors that would otherwise slow us down when we eat.

Does the underlined part mean slow down the speed of eating? I'm not sure about the meaning of these sentences.

Does this mean if we speed up eating that will not help(for our weight loss)?

Thanks in advance!
