Ich griff früher zu dem, was gerade da war, wenn ich Hunger bekam — meist Chips oder etwas Süßes. Einmal schnitt ich Apfelstücke und nahm Mandeln dazu, und mein Nachmittag fühlte sich komplett anders an. Ich hatte mehr Energie und keinen Crash gegen 15 Uhr. Diese eine Entscheidung zeigte mir, wie viel Macht Planung hat. Seitdem habe ich immer einfache Snacks parat: Hummus mit Karotten, gekochte Eier oder Joghurt mit Beeren. Es dauert nur ein paar Minuten, aber ich bleibe fokussierter und es hilft sogar bei der Portionskontrolle. Kein gedankenloses Snacken mehr!
