Working from morning until late in the afternoon is a challenge for any diet. Here are a few tricks to survive the intensive day.

Intensive (or continuous) hours are increasingly common in many jobs. What for years has been something seasonal (typical of summer) has been extended to all times of the year and jobs of all kinds. According to experts, it can improve productivity, although personally the real benefit is having more time for you and your family.

Finishing before work means having more time to go out for a walk, play sports, hang out with your children ... However, working from early morning until after lunch is also a challenge for any diet. So today we are going to talk about how to survive the intensive day without starving or gaining weight.

The danger of vending machines

When you get up early, eat breakfast early and don't eat until late in the afternoon, it's easy to end up starving or robbing the vending machine. And the truth is that neither of the two is recommended. Not at least if you want to stay in shape.

If your way of satiating your appetite while you work is to rob the vending machine in search of an unhealthy snack, not only are you spending too much money but it is also likely that your health will suffer and you will end up gaining weight.

The same is true if you don't eat anything from early in the morning until late in the afternoon. If you do that, the safest thing is that you binge for breakfast, do an endless fast in which you want to eat the aluminium foil and then you binge again.

You may think that if you eat a lot you will be less hungry until the next meal but in reality, it is the opposite. The first few hours you will be so full that when you finish the digestion you will feel even more appetite. In addition, by eating so much you will not only have heavier digestions but it is likely that you will end up gaining weight.

5 meals a day, the key to surviving the intensive day

Hence, the key to surviving the intensive day is not to eat the biggest breakfast of all time or resort to any " greasy life-saving snack " that you find, but to eat 5 planned and balanced meals a day.

Or what is the same. Not only do you have breakfast, have an aperitif in the middle of the morning, eat, snack and have dinner, also do it in a healthy way and without going overboard. With the aperitif and the snack, you do not need to eat more for breakfast and lunch to avoid being hungry in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon.

When it comes to what to bring, there are tons of options to choose from. According to Roberto Méndez, doctor and collaborator in the science section of El Español, the best option is to be proactive and take healthy snacks from home or even a small lunch instead of waiting to buy something. Haste and gluttony are bad advisers when it comes to eating.

If you don't want to complicate your life, you can opt for something as basic as a piece of fruit (bananas, apples, oranges ...) although you can also make yourself something simple like a sandwich or a fruit salad. Keep in mind that it is a way to kill your appetite until mealtime, so don't overeat either.

In this way, you will not only remove the desire to mercilessly devour the first thing you find in the fridge, but in the process, you will have an extra shot of energy with which to face the last hours of work.

If you follow this advice, surviving the intensive day will be easy. One less snag for a way of working that is not only spreading more and more but also brings many personal benefits.
