Turn off the tv during dinner

Heres a tip that most read­ers will dis­miss straight away, and I per­son­ally cant get away with this either as I love my tele­vi­sion. This arti­cle also wont apply if you live in a func­tional fam­ily unit that eats at a table together and dis­cusses how their day was etc.

Basi­cally, the whole idea of turn­ing off your tv dur­ing din­ner is so you arnt dis­tracted by the tele­vi­sion because lets be hon­est here, I mean if im eat­ing while watch­ing the tele­vi­sion I dont even really notice what im eat­ing, it just goes in.

If you turn the tele­vi­sion off and actu­ally watch what your plate while you eat you will notice what your eat­ing and you can also focus on how fast you eat and sur­vey your por­tion size as well. The­o­ret­i­cally, if you turn the tele­vi­sion off and con­cen­trate on what your actu­ally con­sum­ing then you will feel fuller faster and you will also have more ease digest­ing your food.

Another key point and huge ben­e­fit that not eat­ing in front of the tele­vi­sion holds is exer­cise. Although this isnt exactly com­pul­sory, it makes sense. If you typ­i­cally watch a tele­vi­sion pro­gramme that goes for 30minutes and it only takes you ten min­utes to eat your food then your real­is­ti­cally prob­a­bly not going tune into your pro­gramme halfway through after miss­ing out on half of it so the best alter­na­tive for los­ing weight would be to spend the time dif­fer­ence from the tele­vi­sion pro­gramme by tak­ing a brisk walk. If you walk for twenty min­utes then that would be roughly one hun­dred calo­ries that you would burn off which is a good por­tion of the meal you pre­vi­ously ate.

So if you want addi­tional ways to lose weight fast and really want to get into your diet with a kick start then seri­ously con­sider using this method.
