so when we start uh by the tv induced
1:09
amnesia
1:10
what do i mean by this this commonly
1:12
affects children
1:13
you know most children like to watch
1:15
cartoon as they eat
1:17
sometimes you are cutting up on a movie
1:20
as you eat
1:21
you're watching the news as you eat how
1:24
is this harmful
1:26
when you have a divided concentration
1:29
you're not concentrating your plate the
1:31
idea about eating is concentrating on
1:33
your plate
1:34
concentrate on your plate look at what
1:37
you're eating
1:38
look at what you're serving concentrate
1:40
to how you're eating
1:41
okay when your mind is dividing you're
1:44
not
1:45
able to monitor how much you eat
1:48
you're not able to monitor your portion
1:50
size
1:52
you know some children cannot eat on
1:54
their own so when they are watching
1:55
cartoon they are not really eating
1:57
you will notice that it is important to
2:00
switch off the tv switch off
2:01
your laptop switch off something that
2:04
will distract your mind
2:05
okay have that good table madness
2:08
eat help your children to eat you know
2:12
take your time to eat monitor your
2:14
portion size monitor how you're eating
2:17
monitor your body's reactions your
2:19
body's feelings when you start to get
2:20
food
2:21
you can easily notice you're getting
2:22
full when your mind
2:24
is not divided so tv
2:28
induced amnesia no switch off your tv
2:31
and have time for your meals take your
2:34
time
2:35
to eat in peace in silence okay
2:40
number two they're multitasking gurus
2:41
you know you're a busy mom you're a
2:43
working
2:44
person you're a workaholic you have to
2:47
you feel like you have too much to
2:48
to okay when you're multitasking
2:51
again your concentration is divided even
2:54
if you're working on your laptop and
2:56
you're having a plate of food beside you
2:58
how are you going to tell how much
2:59
you've eaten how are you going to tell
3:01
that you're satisfied you don't need
3:02
more
3:03
it's almost close to impossible and
3:05
sometimes you end up hiring to eat so
3:07
that you can finish with the food and
3:08
continue working
3:09
that is not advisable okay let me time
3:13
being meal time work be work okay
3:16
just the same way you sit down to
3:17
schedule activities for your calendar
3:20
schedule time for your meals just the
3:22
same way you scheduled
3:23
your meetings etc okay
3:26
so and um i'm i'm just thinking when you
3:29
get
3:29
a disease and you're bedridden you're in
3:31
the hospital
3:32
and it says that you could easily
3:34
prevent by eating right
3:36
i doubt if you'll be happy then okay
3:38
you'll not even be able to do
3:40
your other activities as you wish so
3:43
please be mindful
3:45
when you're eating okay set time for
3:48
your meals just the same way you save
3:49
time for
3:50
your other activities don't blame it on
3:53
you're a busy mom don't blame it and you
3:55
have to finish what
3:56
schedule your calendar well so the
4:00
emotion eaters okay this is where so
4:02
many people fall in
4:03
you're stressed out so you're stress
4:05
eating you're depressed so you don't
4:07
want to eat
4:08
you're in a party mood you're going to a
4:10
bus you're going for that wedding
4:12
reception and you stumble upon
4:14
a buffet and then you you you completely
4:17
lose it
4:18
you know the idea behind the buffet is
4:22
choose a carbohydrate that you like
4:24
choose a protein that you like
4:25
choose a vegetable that you like a fruit
4:28
that you like
4:29
not to serve everything that you see
4:31
there you know i know it's tempting i
4:33
know it's a
4:34
once in a lifetime opportunity and when
4:36
you see food most people get as
4:38
excited just by by looking at food but
4:41
your body does not require that much
4:44
always remember that
4:45
okay always remember that
4:49
number four is the meal time absentees
4:51
every family
4:52
tends to have that one person who is
4:54
always absent at meal times
4:57
or she's sleeping she's watching a movie
5:00
in her room
5:02
or she wants to skip a meal she's on a
5:04
weight-loss journey but what did i say
5:05
about skipping a meal skipping a meal
5:07
will never be a good idea i've insisted
5:09
on that not just once
5:11
let me times be mean times okay show up
5:14
at meal times okay show up at many times
5:19
take your breaks take your lunch break
5:22
take your tea break go and eat something
5:24
it's very very important to make sure
5:26
you have
5:27
all your meals for that day and lastly
5:29
is the introverts the ones who avoid the
5:32
crowd they don't the ones that don't
5:33
want to eat with people the ones that
5:36
love
