For Part 2 of our ‘A guide to Working from Home’ we will talk about weight loss, weight management and stress management. It is really easy to gain weight while working from home as you are out of your normal routines and able to go to the cupboard to get food whenever you like. You can also become more sedentary with gyms being closed and feelings of laziness and complacency. Feeling stressed and anxious can play a big role in gaining weight too as you may be comfort eating, pushing down emotions with food or eating out of boredom. Here are some tips to keep to you on the right track for your weight loss and weight management so that you can come out the other side of this fitter and healthier than ever before!

Are you feeling tired and exhausted all the time? Do you think it’s just because of your busy lifestyle or stress? It may be more than you think. Although your hectic, demanding lifestyle may be the culprit, persistent tiredness may also be a symptom of Adrenal Fatigue.
