Weight Loss Advice You Haven't Heard Before

A Sneaky Way to Eat Less at Work

Take meal breaks away from your monitor. "What if I told you that eating in front of your computer makes you eat twice as much? It does! New research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that when participants were left in front of a computer video game with snacks for a 30-minute period, they ate twice as much as those who weren't at a computer. What's more, they remembered less about what they ate and were more likely to eat excessively as the day wore on. Step away from your computer, phone or TV to really savor what you're eating, and stop when you're truly full."
