4 Reasons Your Job Could Be Making You Gain Weight

It’s easy to pick up bad habits in the workplace, particularly when it comes to eating. Here are four ways your job could be making you gain weight! And some solutions on how to prevent it. 

It’s common for the work kitchen to be stocked up with goodies such as pastries, cookies and sugary soft drinks that can take a toll on the waistline. One tip is to plan a cheat night for yourself to eliminate the temptation to snack too much in the office.

Believe it or not, studies have shown that chilly climates can make us crave warmer and fattier foods. So, if the aircon is pumping at work, you’re more likely to gravitate towards junk food. If you work in a cold office, be sure to keep warm and it might just help you from overeating. 

Stress eating is common in general, but especially in a high-stress environment like the workplace! Studies suggest that stress can lead to junk food cravings. To suppress these pesky urges, dedicate some time to de-stress. Take short breaks and try to step outside once an hour to regroup.

Busy jobs can lead to a lack of ‘you time’ — you’re so busy with work that you forget to take care of yourself! If you’re time-poor at work and are inclined to overeat in the workplace to compensate for the lack of personal time, it’s time to make some changes.

Start stocking up on healthy snacks and pre-plan your meals on the weekend. Luckily, The Lady Shake is perfect for those who are time-poor, it’s so easy and quick to prepare! The Variety Packs and all three flavours of Lady Shake GO! come in sachets so you don't even have to measure your shakes.
