Most of the people going to offices have a sedentary lifestyle. They have to sit & work for long hours and there is no physical activity.So for them it becomes difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
They tend to skip meals or eat junk food as it is easily available & is less time consuming.
But if you want to lose your weight or maintain it,do make the following changes in your lifestyle-
DO NOT SKIP MEALS-
Most office goers skip meals due to time constraint.This causes a drop in the blood sugar level & also causes overeating in the next meal.Eat at least 5-6 meals in a day.
Some healthy options available are-
LASSI |
- roated channa
- peanuts
- curd
- carrots & cucumber
- lassi
- coconut water
HAVE LOTS OF WATER-
Try to drink at least 7-8 glasses of water in a day.Water helps you feel fuller & also removes toxins from the body.Sometimes we confuse thirst with hunger, so always have a glass of water & see if you are still feeling hungry or not.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY-
Try to move as much as possible.Even while sitting you can exercise by rotating your arms & feet.Use stairs instead of lift as much as possible.
Some other options for quick fix lunches -
- Grilled sandwiches-use wholewheat bread & keep the cheese out.
- Chapati rolls-stuff your chapati with anything like chicken, egg, fish, cottage cheese(paneer), tofu, vegetables.
- Sprouts & curd-easy to make &carry.Also very nutritious.
- Idli, poha, upma-cooks in a jiffy & gives you the nutrients you require.
