Chances are you’ve experienced weekly cakes and treats to celebrate birthdays, promotions, and more at work. All of these yummy indulgences can sideline your healthy eating plan. Try these tips to keep you on track:
•Pack your own lunches and snacks. It’s still the best way to take back control of your midday meal.
•Set your own limits. Review your options, and make a mental list of snacks that are okay for every day and those that are off-limits except for special occasions.
•Take a walk. There may be many reasons you reach for a snack that has nothing to do with hunger. Be mindful if you’re bored, tired, or stressed. Try taking a deep breath, doing a few stretches, or taking a quick walk up and down your corridor.
•Drink more water! With lots of negative foods to avoid at work, water can feel like a positive. Proper hydration is important.
