British Fast Food? 7min 20sec for Breakfast; 12min 49sec for Lunch
That’s how FAST we eat, according to a new study.
Around a third of people said they watched television while they choked back their breakfast and over half had the set on when they ate dinner.
Do You Think This Contributes To Their Obesity Problems?
Of course it does. Nearly half of respondents said they were so busy that they didn’t pay attention to whether they felt full and only finished eating because the food was finished.
When this happens, you don’t give your brain a chance to register that you’re full before you overconsume. Duh. And when THAT happens, you basically put your body in training to overconsume more and more and more with each meal.
Gee. I wonder why we have the problems with weight and health?
In fact, Cat Gazzoli, CEO of Slow Food UK, a movement that encourages British people to enjoy their food, take the time to appreciate tastes and concentrate on what they have chosen to eat, told AOL Lifestyle:
“Taking a break to relax, reflect and enjoy anything from your lunchtime sandwich to a simple supper, not only gives you a chance to recharge and relax but also prevents overeating, consequent weight gain and cumulative stress.”
