It is hard to maintain a work life balance and sometimes the lack of it shows in our eating habits. Its true when one is really busy, food is sometimes the last thing we think about, and often we end up missing our meals at meal times. When we miss our meals we invite to our systems "binge eating". This is because when we are very hungry it doesn't seem to matter what we eat, anything will do even the wrong foods. 

Why we do this?

To figure out why we do this, it's important to review in a general fashion what a typical professional's day is like:

On weekdays one tends to wake up nice and early, kids need tending and so one gets busy with that, the clock is ticking your adrenalin is pumping so sleep is pushed aside by having caffeine (Coffee/tea) with biscuits. This gives you your first insulin surge which gives a quick pick up and soon will plummet down, giving way to rightful hunger. Other things start to occupy your mind, for instance fixing your spouse's lunch etc. Eventually you're out of time for breakfast, what with having to get ready and getting to work on time and not to mention the late dinner last night that makes you feel full in the morning.

Once the day's work begins, it's hard to get out of the work net, emails to send out, and phone calls to make, meetings to attend and even bosses to please! At this point nerves are almost collapsing because of the adrenalin rush so you feel a gnawing hunger in the pit of your stomach, what do you do? Reach out for the cream crunchy biscuits (the cream sugar and white flour give you another pick up surge and the extra sugar rush gets stored as fat).

Then comes lunch time and the food might not always be appetizing, it depends on how much time you got to pack lunch.
