Career Question of the Day
CQ#1: How can I stop gaining weight at work?
Quick Answer:
• Cut down portions. Savor the flavor and still be part of the crew by cutting portions in half. Eat only part of a bagel or donut and then put it aside. Enjoy half a piece of birthday cake instead of a whole. Limit beverage intake at happy hour by having a glass of sparkling water for each alcoholic or sugary nonalcoholic beverage you consume.
• Keep it healthy. If your frenetic working style isn’t going to change anytime soon, substitute unhealthy snacks with healthier ones. Ditch chocolate and trail mix in favor of unbuttered microwave popcorn. Shy away from vending machine cookies and chips in favor of your favorite vitamin-rich fruits, vegetables and whole grain crackers. Exchange coffee drinks with unsweetened teas or sparkling water.
• Take time to focus. The busiest of workloads can benefit from a well-timed break throughout the day. Instead of relying on sugar- and carbohydrate-rich foods to provide focus, take a five or 10-minute break to stretch.
