According to a new research study, when people are watching tv they tend to eat more, the more entertaining the program, the more they eat. Apparently when your brain is distracted it doesn't register what your mouth is doing.
In the study 45 volunters ate ate as many potato chips as they wanted in 5 minute intervals over 3 week periods while viewing monologues by David Letterman and Jay Leno. In addition, they were also given chips when the tv was off. The study concluded that while viewing Letterman, people consumed 44% more chips and 42% more while viewing Leno, than when they were not watching tv.
- The food commercials don't help either, lol.
