And when it comes to being stressed out at work and there is a huge box of donuts in the break room, the last thing you are probably thinking about is your diet or how that donut will affect your organs, blood sugar, and how you will feel and look in the next 20 minutes and in the future. It's difficult, but try to have will power and think before you eat!!!!
So, pack healthy snacks for work that will keep you full and when you're feeling stressed out at work or life in general, breathe and just remember what you put into your body will 100% affect how you look and feel physically and mentally now and 10 years down the line. Snacks that are full of complex carbohydrates (whole grains, oats, flax, bran, agave nectar, etc) which enter the blood stream slowly and digest at a slow rate, combined with a protein such as nuts will keep you full longer.
Examples of great snacks to pack for work:
- Trader Joes snack packs of organic trek trail mix
- Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame plain or with dried goji berries
- Yoplait or Danon lite and fit yogurt
- Trader Joes organic brown rice cakes with Better than Peanut Butter
- A piece of fruit
- Fill a bag with high fiber, high protein, sugarless cereal (Puffins, museli, Kashi)
- celery and PB or better than peanut butter from Trader Joes
- Carrots and other chopped up vegetables
- Back to Nature sunflower and pumpkin seed granola
- Protein Bar (Lara Bar, Raw Bars from Whole Foods, Mini Clif Bars)
- raw peanut butter with organic sugarless jelly on eziekiel bread
