Multi-Tasking and Weight Loss

You may have heard the tip: “Do not snack in front of the television,” and although while on Reshape, you’re not technically “snacking”, just eating while watching TV can be a hindrance to your success. In-fact, attempting to eat while doing anything else will make it harder to lose weight in the long haul. When you are not focused on your meal while you are eating it, you won’t be able to ‘hear’ your body’s ability to tell you when you’re full.

As Chris Powell has taught us when and what to eat, the place or area that you eat can be important as well. For example, if you eat your meals while you are working at your desk, you aren’t focused on the present meal at hand, which can cause you to feel unsatisfied, making you want to nibble on something soon after. And just the same, if you eat while watching your favorite TV show, you’re most likely engrossed in the program, unaware of your immediate surroundings. And when you are not aware of what you are putting in your mouth, being unaware can ultimately result in consuming a lot more calories than you originally planned.

When you prepare your meals on Reshape the Nation, you’re probably focused on the task at hand, and when you are focused on a single task, you get it done better and with more efficiency. Have you ever noticed that when you multi-task, the quality of results are completely different than when you focus on one task at a time? The saying: “Jack of all trades, ace of none” is a good way to express the act of attempting to multi-task.

You probably multi-task in many areas of your life, but when it comes to healthy eating, focusing on the single task at hand, your meal for example, can be a helpful tool for weight loss success.

Be present and enjoy the nourishment you prepare for yourself, you’ll appreciate the long-term weight loss success even more than you already do!
