It’s lunchtime and everyone has connected devices to scan their food… What about you? We don’t always realize it but we often are head in our smartphones rather than on our plate when the meal arrives! What if that was the reason for your extra pounds?
Why it’s not good to eat connected?
Eating without removing our noses from the screen (computer, TV, mobile phone …) cuts off your feelings of hunger and satiation! In other words, your body no longer knows when it is hungry, and so when it has to stop eating … So, we tend to eat more than our needs, and therefore gain weight!
In addition, we say “bye bye” to conviviality related to the meal, which also contribute to satiation…
And who says “no pleasure” says “feeling hungry”.
And when on your smartphone, you do not “pause”, you do not change environment, basically you do not unpack! This causes stress, and therefore… a weight gain.
