 #2 You Are Distracted When You Eat
It doesn’t matter if you’re watching TV or scrolling through your phone, distracting activities like these might be bad for your health when you’re eating.Â
We know that your eating experience can become better when you add a little entertainment, but doing so may also make you feel more hungry and eat more calories, which are both linked to weight gain.
The main explanation for this is that eating while distracted makes it harder for you to keep track of how much food you’re actually eating. You can’t efficiently detect your body’s signals of fullness as well as you can when you’re preoccupied with other activities.
You can try being more conscious, spending less time in front of the screen, and putting your gadgets to sleep to prevent distracted eating. You’ll be able to taste your food and sit down, which will improve your capacity to recognize when your body is satisfied with the amount of food you are eating.
