Coping with holiday office goodies

On any given day during the holidays, homemade pastries, white chocolate and sugar cookies might be in the break room. So how will you stay healthy during this season of sweet treats?

Here are three tips to help you fight temptation:

– Don’t deprive yourself. Snacking is okay in moderation, so have a cookie.

– Pack a lunch with protein and veggies. You’ll find you’re not as hungry, and less inclined to mindlessly eat during the afternoon slump.

– Contribute to office parties by bringing healthy options like an appealing assortment of nuts or a nutrient-dense kale salad with cranberries and feta.
