“Bas ek biscuit”, “thoda sa namkeen”, “birthday hai to cake ka chhota slice” – office me din bhar aisi chhoti cheezen hoti rehti hain. Problem ye hai ki hum inko full calories count me include hi nahi karte.
Snacks usually refined carbs + salt + unhealthy fats heavy hote hain. Har 1–2 ghante me kuch na kuch crisp, mithai, chai-biscuit combination se sugar spikes, cravings, aur slow weight gain hota rehta hai. End of month jeans tight ho jati hai, and hame lagta hai “kuch khaas to kiya nahi”.
Solution boring nahi hona chahiye. Apne drawer me thode better options rakh sakte ho – roasted chana, unsalted nuts (limited), makhana, fruit, yoghurt, homemade popcorn, etc. Chai ke saath har baar biscuit mandatory nahi; kabhi-kabhi sirf chai bhi theek hai.
Mindless snacking ka ek bada reason boredom aur stress bhi hai. Har email ke baad chips nikalne ke bajay thoda pani piyo, short walk lo, ya deep breath le lo. Kabhi-kabhi hume hunger nahi, break chahiye hota hai.
Har snack ko demonise karna bhi zaroori nahi, but awareness zaruri hai. Agar tum consciously decide karoge “roz ke 1–2 small treats max”, to control tumhare haath me rehega, not office pantry ke.
