Reserve a piece of fruit, string cheese, or half a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water for your ride home from work or school. It is very important to stabilize your blood sugar level in the afternoon to avoid excessive eating in the evening. This seems to be the most difficult time of day for people—the time when they munch uncontrollably, consuming way too many calories and unhealthy snacks. So keep your blood sugar level stable by eating something small and healthy every three or four hours—especially at peak hungry times. Never come home from a stressful day famished. Plan ahead!
