Two out of three Americans multitask while they eat at least some of the time, according to a recent study by the American Dietetic Association (ADA); usually they're watching TV.
But diverting your attention is a surefire way to overeat, according to a study by University of Illinois marketing professor Brian Wansink. His research found that moviegoers ate up to 61% more popcorn when the container size was increased, even when they didn't like the taste of the popcorn.
Bottom line? Avoid consuming anything while you watch television, surf the Web, read the paper or chat on the phone.
