With more of us working from home than ever before, reaching into the fridge has become so much easier – but this Instagram post shows why you should think twice about snacking.
naturopath and nurse Madeline Calfas“It is much easier when you are at the office and are surrounded by people, meetings, work assignments to keep busy - so busy that often you may not even find the time to eat,” she told news.com.au.
Our daily routines are also different and being at home means we can snack without “fear of judgment”, Ms Calfas said.Source:SuppliedWhile snacking often can maintain energy and blood sugar levels it could also led to a “grazing style of eating” which could cause you to overeat. Rather than snacking, she recommended eating the right kind of foods during meal times to help you stay fuller for longer and asking yourself if the snack you’re craving is hunger or habit based.
“If you find that you do still need to snack, drink some water or herbal tea to make sure you aren't confusing thirst for hunger … it could be time for you to reassess your diet and make sure that you are having meals that are macro-balanced. Protein, fibre and fat will all help your body to feel full for longer.
