The 3 O’Clock Grumble

April 18, 2012



You are sitting at your desk and hear your stomach growl so loud you swear that your boss on the other side of the office heard it! We have all been there before; but truth be told, there ARE ways to avoid this. Most individuals need a snack in the afternoon because there is a large gap of time between when lunch occurred and when dinner is actually going to be served.

 

Try to add in a snack around 2-4pm to keep those stomach sounds at a lull and most likely, you will avoid overeating at dinner too!
