Controlling work meals - to have three meals a day should not ignore breakfast and lunch. If you skip lunch, you are likely to come home hungry and feast at the dinner table.

- Snack less- Carry only low-fat, low-energy snacks or snacks such as fruits, vegetables, crackers and popcorn.

- Keep a bottle of water at your desk Drink water from time to time throughout the day. When you are craving for something sweet, drink a glass of water and the desire to eat sweets will disappear immediately. Drink a glass of water before lunch to reduce your appetite.

-Don't let mental stress motivate eating more When under mental stress, instead of picking up food, go for a walk. Physical activity is better for relieving mental stress than eating.
