Weight Loss Tips – Stop Gaining Weight at Work
I see it time and time again, so many of us get stuck in a crazy world of trying to manage work stress plus all the other stresses of normal life like managing relationships, family, bills and of course our health.
When we are put into this type of environment our will-power gets seriously compromised because we make excuses for eating the donuts, chocolates, and whatever unhealthy foods that face you at work since it seems like a way out of all the stress factors.
So how do we overcome? Let’s take a look at some very powerful tips that will ensure that you stop gaining weight at work and instead form a plan of success to keep your energy and will-power at the highest level possible so you can continue to be pleased with what you see in the mirror. And don’t worry it doesn’t mean doing sit-ups at work!!
Weight Loss Tips #1 – Coffee Calories
Are you already aware of the extremely high calorie count of almost all non-black coffees you get from starbucks and other similar coffee shops? Some lattes can contain over 400 calories especially when flavoured or if they use cream.
Be smart about your coffee, if you can’t avoid it all together have it with skim milk and a zero calorie natural sweetner like stevia. If you want more info about this read my article Stevia Sweetner – Good or Bad?.
Think about how much impact this will have on your weekly caloric intake if you have 5 or more coffees a week this could be in the 1000+ calorie savings range!
Weight Loss Tips #2 – Protein Rich Lunch
One of the biggest mistakes I see often is that most people have lunches that consist of too many carbs or fats and not enough protein. Those who think they are being healthy with a salad usually go sideways with the amount of cheese, dressings, crutons or whatever other disguising foods and most always without enough protein.
What ends up happening is that a few hours later their hunger kicks in hard-core and they crumble to the junk foods that have been tantalizing them all day.
Now protein not only helps with muscle recovery and growth, but also slows the digestion of carbohydrates and this means less chance of those carbs being stored as fat.
Another easy way to supplement your lunch is to have a whey chocolate milk shake (my favorite tasting one is Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion, so delicious you can’t even tell the difference between it and real chocolate milk!).
Weight Loss Tips #3 – The Right Amount of Sleep
Gosh with this tip I feel like we are still like kids. We have to get the right amount of sleep so our mental game is working at its best efficiency and strength during the day.
With less than 7 hours of sleep night after night you’ll find that your will-power is diminished significantly and you become desperate for a pick-me-up which usually comes in the form of sugary or fatty belly-busting foods. This is a path of total self destruction when it comes to your physique and it can take you down a pretty deep rabbit hole.
I know with all the stress we have it can be especially hard to fall asleep and that is why a simple supplement like Shut-Eye or Muscle Pharm Bullet Proof are awesome in allowing us to shut off at the end of the day and have a rich deep sleep.
7-8 hours of sleep is ideal in making sure our muscles recover, our metabolism works at its highest efficiency during the day and that we have the right amount of energy to push through our workouts.
Weight Loss Tips – Stop Gaining Weight at Work: Conclusion
These three tips are extremely easy to follow and will have maximal impact on your weight loss and training goals so make sure you follow them to the tee. What you’ll find is that at the end of the day you feel much better about your health and this positive energy will catapult your results and your satisfaction with your life. I don’t know what more there is to say than that?
