How do you resist the candy cane at work? And all the birthdays who come by with cake? With our tips you can also maintain your healthy lifestyle at work.
1. Bring your own lunch
The most obvious, but also effective tip:From now on, leave the company canteen for what it is. By bringing your own lunch, you avoid giving in to an unhealthy lunch or standing at the candy machine in the afternoon. You can already prepare a number of lunches for the coming working week on Sunday. View our file with lunch tips.
2. Provide healthy snacks
It is not realistic to get through your working day on breakfast and lunch at noon. There is a good chance that you will get an appetite in between. Make sure there is a healthy snack within reach at that moment. Pitfall:healthy snacks are usually not low in calories, so you can't snack on them endlessly. These are 10 tips for healthy snacks.
3. Tell your colleagues that you have stopped eating sweets
If your colleagues know that you are on a diet or that you are watching your weight, they can support you and draw your attention to it if you are standing next to the candy cane again.
4. Move the candy jar further away
It is very nice that your colleagues always come to you for a piece of candy, but in the meantime you also grab a hand every time. Move that drum.
5. Be honest
You can decline that piece of pie because you are 'allergic', but honesty lasts the longest and is appreciated. Eating healthier is nothing to be ashamed of.
6. Make sure you drink enough
You may not have time to tear your eyes away from the monitor and fetch water. Don't use it as an excuse. Put a bottle of water on your desk and prevent you from snoring because you are actually thirsty, your body does not always recognize the difference between hunger and thirst.
7. Respect the lifestyles of your colleagues
It's not fair to force your diet on others. Don't keep talking about it endlessly and don't keep pointing out to your colleagues how unhealthy a stroopwafel is.
8. Occasional sin is allowed
Everything you deny yourself will spontaneously become more attractive. Nobody can afford to never eat something tasty (let's speak for ourselves:we can't and don't want to). Choose consciously which delicacy you eat and enjoy it to the fullest.
