HAVE A MIDDAY SNACK
An afternoon snack is as
important, if not more so, than
regular meals. Anytime you wait
more than five hours to eat, you’re
letting yourself become ravenous
and more likely to overeat at your
next meal, or to grab a not-so-healthy choice from the office
vending machine. To avoid this
routine, bring a healthy snack, like
low-fat greek yogurt, brown rice
crackers with almond butter or a
piece of fruit and a mini Babybel
cheese, with you to the office.
Planning ahead is always the key
to success.
DRINK MORE WATER
Drinking water ( 48 ounces a
day on average) has many health
benefits, not to mention that
it can help fill you up without
adding any calories to your day.
If you don’t like the taste of water,
flavor it with fresh lemon, lime or
cucumber. If that doesn’t work,
drink flavored seltzer. Don’t wait
until you’re thirsty to drink up,
either—by then you’re probably
already on your way to being
dehydrated and just might confuse
thirst for hunger.
PACK A LUNCH
So many people complain that
there’s nothing healthy to eat near
work, their co-workers have poor
eating habits and they tend to
follow suit, or they’re too busy at
work to even think about making
healthy choices. Obviously, a way
to make sure you eat a healthy
lunch every day is to pack it
yourself. Take leftovers from the
night before, or make a simple
turkey or peanut butter sandwich
with a piece of fruit. Your lunch
doesn’t have to be a gourmet meal.
It just needs to get you through
the day and keep you on track.
