These workplace habits could sabotage your weight loss

1. First on the list is naturally Office Canteens or almost any food stalls

 - food sold in these places are usually high calorie & high fat food. We can counteract by ordering more soupy stuff. Ladies often eat fruits that could back fire on your diet as fruits are sweet & could increase your appetite, thus increase the chances of snacking later on.

2. Office Snacks

-I don't know why but in most office, there's always someone who will have a stash of snacks around to tempt you. People coming back from a trips will bring back goodies from where ever they had visited : local snacks, chocolate, all kinds of chips all loaded with saturated fats & simple carbs waiting anxiously to add to your weight gain!!!
-We can replace these unhealthy snacks with healthier ones like unsalted nuts, seeds, figs & raisins. Or better yet, don't eat any of them!

3. The Business Lunch

-Paid by the company, & often in nice places so there is a GREAT tendency to over-eat.
- Those hotel buffet lunches or dinners, are the biggest culprits for seducing us to over eat! Too many choices displayed too beautifully, anyone would be tempted!
-try Japanese restaurants. Everything is served in smaller portions, this is probably one of the best kept secrets for staying fit & slim! Avoid the deep fried Tonkatsu though.
