My work makes me fat!
Here are 3 points for you to consider…
Smart Snacks
Stay away from the vending machines by bringing to work your own healthy snacks, such as nuts, popcorn, or granola bars, in pre-portioned packages, according to Marisa Moore, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.
“The key is not to bring the entire box or package,” Moore says. “If you bring the entire box, you’re tempted to eat more than one.”
Maximum Exercise, Minimum Time
For his busy corporate clients who find it hard to squeeze in a workout, Talbott recommends a three-times-a-week program of 28 minutes of interval training, combining intensive activities with cool-down periods.
“If time is the big issue, [this is] the shortest amount of time we can have someone exercise and see results,” he says.
Healthy Riding
If you have a long commute, you can avoid having the car become a filling station by having breakfast before you leave for work, and a light snack prior to returning home.
“Everything looks good when you’re hungry,” Moore says. “You don’t want to stop by a fast-food restaurant on the way to work or home, because you’ll fill up with 1,200 calories before you know it.”
