Hello, my Lovely Readers!
I know all of us at some point struggle with snacking while working. It can be all-too-easy to bring food to our home office or if we're working in the dining room (it's even easier) and just snack throughout the day. Now I have nothing against snacking, in fact, the science of snacking shows it can be healthy, but, like everything else, should be in moderation. Science has shown that a majority of people who snack do so not because they're hungry, but because they're bored. Hopefully my tips on ways to stop snacking while working can help you to feel healthier and better about yourself in an easier way.
1. Make your snacks less accessible
This may be putting your bag of chips on the top shelf in the pantry, or in a drawer in the kitchen. Either way, putting the food where it's less accessible and takes more of an effort to get will help to discourage you from snacking as easily.
2. Limit yourself and set reminders
Sometimes just having a visual reminder about how much you're snacking can really help to dissuade you from snacking more. Putting sticky notes by your desk to visually remind yourself will help remind you. Also limiting yourself to one or two snacks can also help, as it forces you to stop once you've reached your limit
3. Know the difference between hungry and bored
I know it can be easy to do this, that's why taking the time during the day to determine why you're snacking can also really help you to stop snacking. Ask yourself if you're snacking because you're actually hungry, or because you're bored. Knowing the motivation behind snacking can easily help you to stop aimlessly snacking.
Remember that snacking in moderation can actually be good for you! Just be mindful of your actions and focus on your health. I hope my tips on ways to stop snacking while working helped you to focus on your motivations for snacking. Reach out on my social media about questions or ways you enjoy eating healthy.
Until next time!
