MINDLESS EATING IN FRONT OF THE TV<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>How many of you sit down to dinner in front of the TV or listen to the iPod at lunch? \u00a0Research is showing that watching TV or listening to music while eating can increase your food consumption by an additional 100 calories per meal.<\/p>\n

It seems that the enjoyment of these things can distract you from realizing that you are full or can cause you to sit at the table longer, resulting in you munching longer than necessary. \u00a0Interestingly, it doesn\u2019t seem to matter what type of music you are listening to or program you are watching.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the study didn\u2019t look at whether reading, talking, or being on your computer all have the same effect. \u00a0My prediction, however, is that anything that serves as a distraction and is enjoyable will lead to the same result: over-eating.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the solution? \u00a0Turn them all off! \u00a0Try eating your meal in silence so you can tune into what your body is telling you. \u00a0Are you full yet? \u00a0If so, then it\u2019s time to stop eating.<\/p>\n
