Have you ever noticed that during your last hour of work, you look forward to a glass of wine or an ice-cold beer? Then you finally get home and instead of having just a glass of wine, you’ve some how managed to snack on everything in front of you while making dinner. Yes…us too.
This may be because it’s been several hours since lunch and your blood sugar levels have dropped. Your body starts to crave sugar and what is more instantly satisfying and easier to prepare than a refreshing glass of beer/wine.
Many of us don’t eat towards the end of the work day because we know we can go home soon and we’re “saving our appetities” but the reality is that it will be at least an hour or so to get home, prepare dinner and sit down to actually eat.
Make sure that you have a snack (preferably high in protein) an hour before you finish your work day. This will ensure that you won’t be famished by the time you get home and start eating and drinking everything in sight!
Following your recommendation. Brought to work some cashews, unsalted, as a snack today. Only problem is that I feel that I need a beer to go with it which I'm not too sure about bringing. Can't win 'em all.
