DAVID KIRSCH IN A NEW YORK MINUTE

Whether you are an administrative assistant or a CEO, you have an executive duty to avoid the vending machine! Your office can be a diet trap. According to a survey of 500 office workers conducted by Peapod, 47% of employees say office snack options keep them from eating healthily. 63% said eating healthy at work was a challenge.

Rather than stress about eating healthy, do something about it. Here are simple ways for you to stay on top of your wellness program- even on the most demanding of workdays:

• - Stock up your desk drawer with healthy snacks (no hidden goodies!). My favorite snack is almonds. Buy the individual serving packs, that way you won’t eat the whole bag. Other packable snack options are edamame, pumpkin seeds, apples, and whole wheat crackers.
• - Is there an office fridge? Pack one of my 15-minute meals for lunch, like my Chopped Salad with Roasted Chicken and Tomatoes or Turkey Basil Salad.
• - If you are ordering food for a meeting, have healthy options on hand. Vegetable platters, fruit platters, and bowls of nuts are great alternatives that will give you the energy and focus to make that big presentation.
• - Don’t fall victim to that mid-afternoon slump! Steer clear of the coffee maker. Opt for an Energy Bubbles instead.
