The "Smart Snack" Way

Break up with the office vending machine. Bring a healthy treat from home instead.

Why try it: You can still take a 3 p.m. snack break.

Action Plan

Limit your afternoon nosh to 150 calories. Here's what to eat for a:

Chocolate fix: Try a 100-calorie pack of CocoaVia.
Filling fix: Eat two cups of air-popped popcorn (62 calories).
Crunch fix: Have one cup of raw veggies (carrots and celery) with two tablespoons hummus (80 calories).
Healthy fix: Munch an apple with an ounce of low-fat cheese, such as one Laughing Cow Light cheese wedge (130 calories).

DROP 10: In about nine months. But if you combine it with the "Eat Breakfast" Way and the "Three Change" Way, it will take just eight weeks.

Next: The "Eat More" Way

The caloric intake is too low and is only meant for people just beginning diet and exercise. This is not for everybody and is counterproductive in the long run.

The calorie intake is too low to maintain for a long period of time. It is scary to lose that much weight so soon unless it is all water.
