If there is one place where losing weight is difficult than anywhere else, then it is at work. At the office you have the stress of usually being overworked and low paid, yet you are also inside a caged environment where you are not able to escape the vending machines and the cafeteria that serves pizza at lunch. That means should you are feeling somewhat stressed out then you've easy access to junk food to cheer yourself up, which is bad news to your diet.

Regardless of whether your cafeteria does have some wholesome options, then you still have to test your willpower every day once they ask you what you would like, and you then can breakdown and order what your stomach want as opposed to what your body needs! There is an easy solution though, take your lunch into work with you, brown bag it and you haven't any excuse to pig out on other things. Then you'll be able to make certain your lunch fits perfectly into the standards in your diet, but can also be created from things you like as well.

Should you do decide to take your own lunch in then you need to remember one vital thing though, create the night before! If you leave it to be made whenever you are tired and inevitably running a little late during the morning, then you may easily think 'forget it' in the knowledge you can grab something from the cafeteria instead, ruining your vigilantly laid plans. Instead get everything prepared the evening before so you don't have any excuse not to take it the next day.

It also makes it simpler to organize, because say you're having pasta (whole wheat pasta I hope…) and chicken for dinner, then put on some extra or have that on your lunch tomorrow too! That beats having sandwiches like most others who take in their lunch, just pop it into the fridge over night and you have a tasty and nutritious snack for that next day which you may actually look forward to.

If you buy a microwaveable container to store your lunch in then you do not need to have a cold lunch all the time either. Just pop some of that leftover vegetable curry in it the night before, and then you can heat it up quickly at work. Or should you do not have microwaves at the job then you can actually obtain containers now which can be insulated so you can heat it up during the morning in the home and then still have it hot when you come to eat it hours later.
