Do you stop between bites?

I was speaking with someone the other day who said that she takes 8 bites in 20 minutes when eatin meat or fish and about 8 bites in 15 minutes for other types of food. I didn't ask any questions at the time but started thinking about it later and I eat faster than that. I take very small bites and chew very very well. I haven't been told to wait in between bites or to time it and didn't know where she got this guideline of 8 bites in 20 minutes. Does anyone else use a formula like this and do you wait a specific number of minutes between bites?
