Next Wednesday (1/13/2010) I’ll be on a call with celebrity trainer Bob Harper from “The Biggest Loser!”
Bob Harper and Extra Gum have teamed up to create the “3pm Snackdown Challenge.”
For those of you who work in Corporate America, you’re probably familiar with the typical 3pm slump: sugar cravings, lethargy and perhaps even a little boredom-snacking to get you through to the end of the day.
I love the tag line for the 3pm Snackdown, “pick up a pack, put down that snack!” According to the snackdown site, “experts say that even small decreases in calories can have a big impact in the long term. Chewing Extra® gum, at only 5 calories per piece, can be a useful behavior modification tool to help manage calorie intake.” Sounds good to me!
The site has a cool little calculator which shows common fatty snacks that some of us reach for while at the office. I picked my personal favorite- a chocolate chip cookie- and learned that a cooke is about 190 calories. If I ate one per work day for a year, that is 9,620 calories. This habit would add up to an extra 2.8lbs.
So, now what I need from YOU!
Wrigley has offered mscareergirl.com readers tons of free Extra gum just for asking Bob Harper your questions about fitness and weight loss. Please put your questions for Bob in the comments section below. I will report back with his answers to your questions after the call.
I will randomly select winners in the follow up post after our call!
