Anyone have a suggestion for a quick pick me up during the day??? The candy and donuts and bagels in our lounge are calling my name and I am in need of a "pick me up". I am trying to avoid the atkins bars, etc. And I tried eating a cheese stick, but am still dragging.
Plan: Atkins (modified - no red meat)
Stats: 324/244/150
BF:46.6%?/42/20%
Progress: 46%
Location: Pacific NW
Pick-me-ups that I use:
12 Almonds
Radishes (or other veggies) with high-fat dressing
Celery with cream cheese or peanut/almond butter
Deli Meat
Hamburger patty (make ahead and bring with you)
Hard-boiled egg
Huge glass of ice-cold water
Activity or movement of some kind - walk around the office
- sour pickles (not gerkins) or olives (but not if the salt makes you retain water)
- Wasa crispbread spread with natural peanut butter or almond butter
- cold meatballs
Chese cubes are great-so are nuts, hard-boiled eggs--and I like the cold water and "take a walk" ideas, too. Even the occasional glass of diet soda helps-it's only one carb.
