5 Ways Your Job <br />Is Making You Fat If you've noticeably packed on some pounds, it could be because of your job. Here are 5 ways that your <br />job could be to blame, <br />according to Eat This, Not That! A 2014 study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that people often conform to "eating norms" in social settings. <br />Don't let their bad habits rub off on you. Those who walk, bike or take <br />public transportation tend to have lower <br />BMIs than their car-traveling peers, according to a 2014 study published in the British Medical Journal. Sure, you're traveling between floors all day, <br />giving the illusion of staying active, <br />but you're hardly getting any steps in. <br />Opt for the stairs to burn major calories. If it's your only option and <br />you're in a time-crunch, choose nuts or <br />trail mix. Stay away from cookies, chips and soda. Drinking more than once a week can decrease <br />the body's fat-burning ability by up to <br />73 percent, according to some researchers.
