Do you eat more when watching TV shows with commercials

I have just recently noticed that I eat more when I watch TV shows with commercials becasue of the food commercials. I can go all day and not get hungry when i watch TV with no commercials because the topic of food is not constantly thrust in my face, but when I try to watch regular TV, I tend to go to the fridge and snack more often.

has anyone else noticed this? or am I alone in the woods? How do you deal with it?

For now, I am watching more netflix and cable channels. I am ticked at regular tv. :explode:

    I think it might be the boredom of not focusing on the show.

    I dont know that commercial's make me hungry........but i have a strict rule to NOT watch the Food Network after 8pm...........NOW THAT station makes me hungry. I usually go on pinterest during commercial's to waste time...........just stay away from the "Food" boards.

    I know I eat more when I have no self control/discipline... not sure it's tied to commercials though.

    I don't watch the food network or any cooking shows on any channel, unless its zimmerman eating...you know... monkeys frogs lizards and insects. that doesn't seem to make me hungry..

    well, it all boils down to self control, but there is also self awarenenss which occassinally has to come before self control.

    I think the only time I actually see commercials anymore is during superbowl...and they're not as good or clever as they used to be...very dissapointing.
