When I work with TOP Management in
every office, I always see people who are striving to be fitter and younger. So
once I asked the CEO of a very famous company why she eats right and always has
a snack in her office. She said “ I need to fuel to think, I need to fuel to
decide, I need fuel to run with best of my team who are a decade younger than
me”
So eating at work is a simple
principle of knowing what are you going to be doing for the next 2 hrs. Then
learn to Snack to keep you healthy. HEALTHY SNACKS.
When your hard at work and suddenly
you’re famished, the hunger prangs start to kick in and the best option is to
run to the nearest vending machine.
Once you’ve eaten that guilt filled meal,
you then begin to realise that your nutrition has taken a back seat. But Think
Again! Are you really hungry? Or is it just that you’re bored or tired or
stressed at work? If you aren’t really hungry then skip this meal.
Stack up on small snacks in your
office drawer and you will notice the difference not only in your energy levels
at work but also on your waistline.
1.Green Tea: This is the Secret Fat Burner! It helps
increase breakdown of fat, thereby enabling more calories to be burnt daily.
Drinking atleast 4 cups of green tea a day can up your metabolism and also
keeps you hydrated throughout the day. Another Secret from RYAN’s desk…. Green
tea is known to boost Alpha Wave thinking….Ask me what this is and how it makes
you sharper on your projects?
2. Walnuts: Walnuts are high in
heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
and antioxidants. Pair a handful of walnuts
with a piece,
your favourite fruit, or a bowl of oatmeal for a fibre-rich
morning
snack that will help you feel full longer.

3.Apples:Apples are loaded with pectin, which helps
suppress your appetite.Eating an apple mid-day helps control blood sugar and
may aid in weight loss. Eat an apple a day to keep the Doctor away! I had a
client who ate 2 apples a day before each meal and lost 3 kgs in a month.
4. Low Fat Yoghurt: The latest
Superstar! Yoghurt increases the intestinal friendly bacteria keeping the
intestine healthy.
It also boosts immunity, aids in digestion and the
absorption of nutrients.
5.Almonds: Almonds are especially
them throughout the day. Almonds are
protein-packed and have the good
kind of fat, so they satisfy hunger.
6.Low Calorie Granola Bars: Granola
bars typically made with a
combo of whole grains, nuts, seeds and dried fruit,
are a good to grab in-between meals to curb hunger. Look for bars that contain
no more than 200 calories each.
7.Water: Although not exactly a snack,
lack of water throughout the day is often the culprit behind feelings of
hunger, headaches, and midday dragging. Bottled water is something you
definitely want to keep stored at work. Sip throughout the day and watch your
productivity and mood improve.
8. Sprout salad: Sprouts are a healthy snack option that you could keep at
your desk. Boil sprouts and add a little bit of salt and pepper or just add in
some sliced cucumber and cherry tomatoes to drive your hunger away.
9.Dark chocolates: Don't we all love to
cheat on
our diets once in a while? It is possible, provided you do it in a
smart way. The remedy to sweet cravings is to have 2 cubes of dark chocolates.
Opt for these bitter chocolates once in a while when you are tired of having
salads and fruits, but make sure they’re made of 70% cocoa and not your milk
chocolates.
10.Buttermilk: Let’s just stick to
tradition on this one. Buttermilk is a
good source of protein and calcium; also
it is easy on the stomach. Available in tetra packs and is easy to carry on the
go. It also keeps you hydrated and refreshes you.
