Diet Tip for Desk Workers

I work behind a computer all day long, so when I saw the article on msn.com about Workouts for Desk Jockeys I was excited!

Sitting at a desk all day can cause you to gain weight and lose muscle. Unfortunately our bodies are still designed for our less civilized days. Constant movement and periods without food is what our bodies still understand, not desk jobs and readily available snacks.

Here are a few helpful tips:

-Take brisk walks on breaks and lunch
-Use the stairs instead of the elevator
-Stretch throughout the day
-Walk memos over to people, don't just email
-Start an exercise regimen before work, during lunch, or after work

My eating tips:

-Avoid the vending machine - nothing tastes THAT good in there anyway
-Bring fruit and veggies to snack on
-Drink lots of water to avoid dehydration
-Make your lunch the night before
-Avoid pastries, donuts, fried foods
