Jon Vinikoor on Eating Healthy at Work

Part of being a personal trainer involves eating properly, and one of the biggest complaints people have about eating healthy involves the difficulties of doing so at work. As a personal trainer for more than 19 years, Jon Vinikoor hears about this all the time. That is why Jon Vinikoor developed a simple list of ways people can eat healthy while at work.

(1) Eat Breakfast at Home

The number one mistake a person on a diet can make is to not eat breakfast. Jon Vinikoor advises people to eat a healthy, substantial breakfast in order to fight off hunger. Midmorning hunger often leads to unhealthy indulgences.  By eating breakfast at home, Jon Vinikoor believes you can avoid the fattening and unhealthy foods in the vending machine at work.

(2) More Water and Less Coffee

Jon Vinikoor tells his clients to reduce their coffee intake and increase their water intake. Coffee is full of caffeine and sugars that can be addictive. Jon Vinikoor suggests people limit themselves to one cup of coffee per morning. Jon Vinikoor notes that one glass of water can have a significant impact on your level of hunger.

(3) Don’t Eat Out

There will always be the temptation to go out to eat when at work.  Jon Vinikoor tells people to avoid this temptation by packing lunch. Replacing fast food with a healthy lunch will do wonders for your diet. Jon Vinikoor also likes to note the financial benefits of not eating out five days a week.
