HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE AT YOUR DESK - Part 1

Here's a common concern: How can I attain or maintain a healthy body weight when I'm sitting at a desk all day?  These strategies can help:

- Snack wisely - If you tend to snack when you're at the computer, be prepared.  Keep healthy options handy so you don't rush off for an emergency visit to the vending machine.  And stow snacks in a drawer instead of on your desk top  -- out of sight, out of mind.

- Drink up - In the same way, if water is in sight, you'll easily drink your six 8-ounce glasses by the end of the day, which helps with weight control.  Keep a container of fresh water next to your computer at all times.

- Plan lunch - Try eating half of your lunch at noon, then, when the mid-afternoon munchies hit, eat the other half.  You can also think of it as "lunch #1" and "lunch #2".  Scheduling your meals to protect against cravings is smart.  And it's best to bring food from home for healthier eating.
