Dine in front of the television is likely to make us fall into the "snack-temptation, because the viewing of images distracts us from what we are actually eating and thus end up eating more, with devastating consequences on the female line. To say this, a study by Macquarie University in Sydney, published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, which examined the harmful effects of television on a number of young normal-weight women: in the test, each participant was granted 20 minutes to gobble chocolate, potato chips and coca cola without limits.
Half had consumed "junk food" watching TV, while the other party by sitting quietly sitting without doing anything. Later, both groups were seated to eat sandwiches, cookies and crackers in peace and was so since the women who had previously looked at the TV were also those who had accumulated 50% more calories.
Not only that. When asked to all participants as they ate at the beginning of experiment, those who had not seen the TV had also been the best to recall the foods eaten and this would explain why the memory has a crucial role in feeling satiated and, therefore, in 'not to make us indulge in a late snack.
"It seems that the TV makes it more difficult to pay attention to what you eat - Australian researchers say - and to consolidate the memory of our food, letting us remember during the meal." It now remains to be seen whether such behavior could also apply to men, because when you ran a similar test, the males examined have considered only an opportunity to eat as much as possible and free.
