Office Diet: How to Eat at Work?
When we decide to go on a diet, we face one important question – how to eat at work. Is there such a diet that can be observed at work? The answer is yes – there is the so-called office diet. It’s easy to sit on it because you can take all the products to work with you, and it’s a pleasure to cook at home.
Agree, few of us eat right at work. We usually have a bite while sitting directly behind the monitor, while managing to print, talk on the phone or read the correspondence received. All these factors hurt the functioning of the digestive glands, the production of gastric juice. As a result, we chew food poorly, swallow it in large pieces, which leads to poor absorption of food and in the end can lead to the development of gastritis. To avoid this, try to eat in a specially designated place. If this is not possible, try to abstract yourself from all affairs for lunch time.
Our diet is designed for two weeks, during which time you can lose up to 5 kg. Allowed products for the office diet: buckwheat, fish, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, chicken. In the first week, you follow the exact instructions and eat only certain foods that are allowed on that day on certain days. In the second week, the days alternate. Since the diet is low-carb, people with kidney disease should better discard it.
