**New York, NY** – Today show host Al Roker, known for his weather forecasts and infectious personality, is now promoting his new cookbook, “Al Roker’s Recipes to Live By.” In a recent interview with Daily Mail, Roker shared his thoughts on the complex relationship between food, technology, and weight management.

Roker and his wife, Deborah Roberts, have implemented a no-phones-at-the-table rule during dinner. “They get left in a basket and that’s that,” he stated. The couple believes that technology can detract from a mindful approach to eating, making it harder to establish a healthy relationship with food. “It’s very hard to multitask when it comes to food,” Roker explained. “You could finish a plate of food reading and not realize that you ate.”

When asked about Ozempic, a weight-loss medication gaining popularity, Roker took a practical stance. “If that path is one of these drugs and that works for them, great,” he said. “And if it helps you, if that’s the thing that gets you over that point where you’re able to be healthier and lead a more active lifestyle, that’s great.”

Roker’s cookbook, released on October 15th, offers recipes for family meals and aims to inspire healthy and mindful eating habits. The veteran broadcaster is making the rounds promoting the book and sharing his insights on food, weight loss, and the importance of technology-free dining experiences.
