In the past, Kenzi Ford relied on sugar-filled granola bars and vending machine runs to get through her workday. “Nutrition wasn’t on my mind,” she claims. “I just wanted to make it through consecutive Zoom calls.”
However, Kenzi realised she needed a better plan as her afternoon crashes worsened and her concentration began to wane. Her answer? Snacks with a lot of fibre that would keep her full and alert without requiring a full lunch break.
She says, “I didn’t have time to make fancy snacks.” “Therefore, I gravitated towards what was quick, simple, and satisfying.” In order to stay fueled, she learned to combine fiber-rich foods with protein or healthy fats and started keeping a supply of go-to options in her desk drawer.
Kenzi discovered that making small adjustments, such as reaching for chia pudding instead of candy or replacing chips with roasted chickpeas, helped to stabilise her mood and energy levels.
The finest aspect? She didn’t need to give it too much thought. She smiles, “I still snack.” “But now I purposefully snack.”
