Daily Fit Tip: Put your desk on a diet

Categories: Daily Fit Tip

When you go into work tomorrow, take a look all those nooks and crannies in your drawers and cupboards. Chances are, you'll find some surprises: A few candies here, some salty snacks there, maybe with a few cans of soda thrown into the mix? And I know as well as anyone that when you hit that 3 pm wall of fatigue, your defenses are down and you're prone to some unsafe snacking. Don't do it!

Instead, give your snack drawer a much-needed spring cleaning. Don't worry, you don't need to curtail mid-afternoon snacking altogether, but do make sure you pick up some healthy choices. Like?

  • Nuts. They're full of protein and will help energize you in the afternoon.
  • Dried fruit. Some raisins or dried cranberries will satisfy your sugar cravings and help keep you awake.
  • Green tea. It's calorie-free and will help give you some much-needed energy.
  • Dark chocolate. If nothing else tickles your fancy, a little bit of dark chocolate can do wonders for your mood. But make sure you know when to stop.
What do you stack in your desk?
