If your morning breakfast routine includes some TV time to catch the news or watch that show you DVR’d the night before, well that could be the reason you’re gaining weight. (If you’re gaining weight, that is!).
Nutritionists and personal trainers say that when you eat a meal while watching TV, you are distracting your brain. This can lead to overeating because you aren’t allowing your brain to alert you that you are satisfied. Plus, studies have shown that watching television while eating can slow your metabolism, causing you to burn calories at a slower pace than you normally would.

Do you watch TV while eating? Have you noticed weight gain?
