Ways to Win the Desk Diet
After all, "weight control is simply a mathematical equation--in order to lose weight, you must burn more calories than you take in." Sitting at a desk, you're sedentary and more likely to snack, so the equation you're shooting for can be thrown off-kilter.
Suggestions, Please?
The answer, then, is to make the most of your desk's diet potential. We surveyed weight loss experts and dieters who've done it. Here are the tricks they believe work best.
Snack wisely. "A lot of people snack while they sit at the computer,"
If you're one of them, be prepared. Keep healthy options handy so you don't rush off for an emergency visit to the vending machine. We saw one dieter's smart suggestion on the message boards, too: Keep snacks not at your desk, but stowed away in a file cabinet. Out of sight, out of mind.
Drink up. In the same way, if water is in sight, you'll easily drink your six 8-ounces glasses by the end of the day.
Keep a bottle or glass full of fresh water next to your computer at all times.
Plan lunch.
Plan lunch. "I eat half of my lunch at 11:30; then, when the mid-afternoon munchies hit, I eat the other half," wrote another dieter on the message boards. Scheduling your lunch to protect against cravings is smart
it's best to bring your lunch from home--that way, you can plan your POINTS intake.
Move! "Even if it's just 10 minutes of exercise at a time
Exercise during off-hours. Get in exercise before and after work to make up movement lost to your computer.
Once you're done exercising, rush hour will be over and you'll still be home at the same time."
Find help with friends. Get your co-workers in on the weight loss game. That way, you can encourage each other throughout the day, have healthy lunches together and exercise together on breaks. "I'm in a Weight Watchers At Work plan," wrote a member on the message boards, "so I have a fairly strong network of fellow [dieters] here on the job. I think that has been a huge help."
Use your tools. With WeightWatchers.com's online weight-loss tools, your computer can become an essential part of your plan. Use free time at your desk to log foods into your journal, plan your meals, research exercise options, get encouragement and advice in the Community
