5 Places You Shouldn’t Snack:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • In front of the refrigerator:<\/strong> Do you ever find yourself breaking off a little piece of dark chocolate while you’re standing in front of the fridge? And then, since you’re still standing there you open the door and grab another little piece. \u00a0And then another. \u00a0Whether it’s chocolate, nuts, berries, or anything else you can grab by the handful, take your portion and go to the table.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • In front of the TV:<\/strong> \u00a0You will never pay attention to your food if you’re watching TV. \u00a0<\/li>\n
  • At your desk:<\/strong> Your desk is a workplace. \u00a0Leave it and take a break when you want a snack. \u00a0If you’re in an office and the weather is nice, take your snack outside and enjoy the fresh air.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • In bed:<\/strong> Eating in bed is yucky. \u00a0You get crumbs on the sheets. \u00a0And late night-snacking can lead to high morning blood glucose levels.<\/li>\n
  • In the car:<\/strong> Pay attention to the road! \u00a0It’s always good to have glucose tablets or a juice box in the front seat of your car in case of a low while driving. \u00a0But your car is no place for french fries from the drive-through. \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
