For those Dr. Oz fans out there, and I'm sure there are many, I thought this one was worth mentioning again. Many of us are struggling with managing our weight whether we are maintaining (barely) or trying to lose weight. We don't like hearing the word "diet". Temptation is always one of our worst enemies and as usually, its always the things that are right out there in front of us and always soooo goooooood! They call this the Danger Zone. I think Dr. Oz has some of the best tips to follow that are so easy.
1) Danger Zone: Breakfast pastries in the break room at work. Solution: Eat breakfast at home and make sure its a good healthy balanced meal with protein and carbs that will fill you up. Also, instead of heading towards the breakroom, why not go for a walk. I'll bet you can get others to join you too. Stairs are a great too form of exercise. This will make it easier to lose weight.
2) Danger Zone: Lunchtime Client Meeting. Solution: Find out where you're going and see if you can prescreen the menu ahead of time. Make wise choices ahead of time, not when you're rushed. They are likely to be healthier ones more condusive to our diet. Also, why not just eat half and take the other half home.
3) Danger Zone: Early Evening Dinner Prep. Solution: Eat a healthy afternoon snack. If we are starving by the time dinner is approaching, we are likely to nibble and next thing you know, you may have consumed a few hundred calories. And again, this is a great time to take another walk. It burns calories and you are not likely to be so hungry when preparing dinner.
4) Danger Zone: Nighttime Channel Surfing. Solution: Deem the kitchen off limits at this time. You should not eat 3 hours before bedtime. And have you ever noticed that most of the food commercials seem to be on at this time. So how about turning off the TV entirely and spending time with the family or so other activity that gets you up and away from those tempting food commercials.
