Here's how to stand your ground

“About the same time every day you feel helpless against snacking and your willpower goes out the window. Here's how to stand your ground:”

The easy answer would be, "Then change your schedule." Sometimes that's just impossible to do. But, if you know when you're going to be bombarded, prepare for the fight. If the temptation strikes and the only thing available is the vending machine's horde of health-stomping snacks, bring something with you: whatever healthy stack you know your body tolerates. The same is true if you're at home. Have healthy snacks planned and as ready as possible so you can grab that before the junk food cravings grab you. The key here is to not wait until you're so hungry you won't make sensible decisions. Structure your snack time before you are slammed to the mat.
