Putting in extra hours at the job can help you stack the dollars, but it can also cause you to pack on some unwanted stomach fat. Sitting at a desk all day can also have an effect on your butt. Try these easy adjustments, so you can work a 9 to 5 without gaining 10 to 20.
1. Stand and Deliver:- Get an adjustable-height workstation so you can stand for part of the day. Your posture will improve, and you'll burn a third more calories.
2. Dial "C" for Calorie:- Get a headset and walk while you take calls. An extra 500 steps a day burns 25 extra calories--in a year, you could drop two pounds without changing your diet.
3. Schedule Snacks:- A survey found that 75 percent of workers eat lunch at their desks while working, at least two to three times per week. Step away from work and enjoy your food. If you're aware of what you eat, you'll be less likely to nibble all day.
4. Go Green:- Fill your mug with green tea. People who drank oolong tea fortified with green tea extract every day for three months lose 2.4 more pounds than people who drank plain oolong tea. Antioxidants found in green tea, may stimulate the body to burn calories and decrease fat.
5. Put a Lid on it:- Keep candy in an opaque dish. It was found that workers dipped into chocolates 71 percent more often when they were in transparent containers. Or switch to hard candies: They're lower in calories than bonbons, and they last longer.
6. Place Your Bets:- Strike up a weight-loss competition with your coworkers. Who lose the most wins a prize. Sometimes it pays to lose.
