Why you shouldn't eat your dinner in front of TV if you're trying to lose weight
It’s something that most of us do without thinking, but if you eat dinner in front of the TV, you may unknowingly be eating beyond the point that you’re full.
Researchers from the University of Sussex have revealed that when your senses are taken up by an engaging task, such as watching TV, you’re less likely to be able to adjust how much extra food or drink your consume.
In their study, the team tested 120 participants, giving them either a low-calorie or high-calorie drink alongside either a low-attention task or one that required lots of attention.
Following the task, the participants were offered snacks.
The team found that participants who completed the high-attention task ate roughly the same amount of follow-up snacks, regardless of whether or not they were initially given a high or low calorie drink.
