As a matter of fact, most employees report gaining weight due to inactivity, stress, eating out and workplace celebrations. But a busy life can also involve these situations, so what makes work so influential.
1. Mind the eating habits taken home from work: Nutrition habits can also spread past the workplace. Even on a worldwide scale, people can be influenced to eat poorly, as is the case today.
2. Establish new habits: For example, you can agree to eat half a donut because, one, you will eat less, and two, you will start a new habit of self-control. Likewise, you and your friend can take the donuts (or other food item) outside and go for a walk, combining a new exercise routine with a guilty pleasure. Really, there are plenty of ways to learn mindfulness at the office, the point being to practice thought and build new behaviors with food.
3. Aim for a healthy work culture: A company’s culture is also highly influential. For example, managers who support health programs can improve the stress, exercise and eating habits within their companies. If your workplace offers wellness benefits, take advantage of them to support your diet. Your participation can also encourage others to join.
4. Keep a food diary: Keeping a food diary can help you learn what you eat every day. It can also help you take control of your eating habits because you pay more attention to them as you note them in your diary.
5. Practice mindfulness: Try practicing mindful eating. For example, if you see a donut, pause to ask yourself if you really need it. If it’s too tempting, you can still make other mindful decisions as a tool for eating control.
