Quick Tip No. 116, Blaming Your CD Player for Overeating

            Your CD player may be to blame for you not losing weight. Nanette Stroebele Ph.D., of the University of Colorado’s Center for Human Nutrition says that people tend to eat and drink more with background noise. According to studies in Ireland and Canada, the louder and faster the music, the more food one consumes.

            Slower romantic music is not advisable either. Even though it might aid chewing and digesting, it also might cause one to linger at the table. Guess what lingering at the table will cause. You got it—overeating.

            On the other hand, Lance Armstrong is famous for eating gobs of pasta before a day’s cycling activities. Therefore, if he is an inspiration to you, why not adjust your CD player to affect your appetite.
