Tips to help you Stay Healthy When In the Office

You may think there are plenty of reasons why your job might be making you fat but now is the time to take charge of your work life and start being healthy inside and out, no matter where you are.

It’s easier than you think to stay trim on the job. And today we are going to give you a few tips that we use here at Slim Secrets HQ:

Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day
Stay hydrated and energized throughout the day with water and stop wasting calories on soft drinks. Keep a glass of water or a reusable water bottle on your desk, and take sips throughout the day. Water isn’t just calorie-free; it gives your belly the sensation that it’s full, which cuts down on mindless snacking.

Bring a Huge Salad For Lunch
Stop eating lunch out everyday. Aim to bring a salad from home instead. Make sure it’s low in calories and full of fibre and plenty of delicious green veggies. You can eat an enormous bowl of veggies without doing damage to your waistline. To prevent boredom make sure to vary the veggies and protein each day. Packing a salad for lunch doesn’t just keep your calories in check—it can save you money, too. In winter, a nice big healthy veggie soup is a great option too.

Make sure to mix up your salad ingredients each day to keep it exciting!

Keep Slim Secrets Healthy Snacks Stashed in your drawer
Avoid temptation by keeping a stash of healthy snacks in your desk drawer or in the office fridge. All Slim Secrets products are the perfect snack to keep you going in between meals https://www.slimsecrets.com.au/shop/default.asp. If you have a fridge at work, packing a piece of fruit or some veggies to snack on is also a great and healthy idea to keep you going throughout the day.

Always keep a healthy stash of snacks in your drawer.

Always Bring your Runners to Work
Sitting all day is dangerous for your overall health—not just your waistline! Make sure to bring your runners to work. Or if you’re lucky enough to work in a casual work environment (like us), wear your workout gear to work. Then there are no excuses. Don’t just stare are your phone during your lunch break, use that hour to get moving and burn some extra calories. You will actually be more productive at work if you get up and exercise because it gives your mind a mental break and can help alleviate stress that can cause you to reach for those unhealthy treats.

There can be no excuses when you have your runners with you at work!

Use Your Minty Breath to Prevent Snacking
After you finish each meal, brush your teeth or put a mint in your mouth. That minty taste in your mouth will remind you that you already ate and aren’t really hungry for that Twix from your colleagues drawer.

Having a minty taste in your mouth after you eat will help give you some self control!
