Slider foods are foods that just slide right down. Alot of people say carbs are sliders for them (they are for me too) and then there's ice cream, chocolate those slide right down. It's basically foods that slide down and can possibly do some damage to your weight loss....

They can be different for everyone but basically it is a food the "slides" through your sleeve, and is harder to get full off of. For me a slider is chips-- with or with out dip. I can eat a lot of chips with no problems.

To add to what everyone else said, the opposite of a slider food would be dense Protein foods like meat. Those sit in your stomach and don't slide through your stomach- they make you feel full for longer. Slider foods don't give you the level of satiety that a high protein food would, and you are more likely to eat more or sooner.

For me it's foods that go down easily and that you can eat a lot of. That would be chips and candy for me

sliders are more of a liquid/liquid-like item - ice cream, pudding, Soup. Forget the carb red herring, it is those things that don't need a long digestion in the stomach. Technically, Water is a slider, it doesn't stay in stomach long and can be a slider catalyst by drinking water while eating or soon after, it can flush the food out of your stomach and into the intestines.

Ironic that you used the "red herring" logical fallacy as all the items you named are high in quickly digestible carbs. Crackers, chips, high starch/low Fiber foods break down into a slurry at almost the same rate as pudding. Actually, pudding and milk might stay a bit longer as they tend to curd in the stomach, whereas chips, crackers, Cookies, baked goods, and starchy foods don't. Anything that can melt in your mouth or be reduced to liquid with saliva is a good candidate for classification as a "slider" food.
