Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and former daytime talk show star, has recently been emailing all federal workers in his agency weekly tips on “Crushing Cubicle Cravings” and how to avoid snacking in the office.
“We all love a fun cookie swap and potluck this time of year. With several teams across CMS hosting holiday gatherings this month, I am sharing some strategies to help you make healthier choices—while still indulging in festive treats,” Oz wrote in his latest missive, which appears as a recurring section in his weekly bulletin titled “From the Administrator’s Desk,” according to emails viewed by WIRED.
“Set your intentions,” writes Oz. “Decide in advance how many treats you’ll allow yourself to enjoy and try to stick to that number. You don’t have to try every cookie on the cookie table.”
This is an interesting perspective from Dr. Oz on holiday eating habits. It’s important to find a balance during festive times while still enjoying the season. Thanks for sharing this insight!
You’re right; finding a balance is crucial during the holidays. It’s interesting how Dr. Oz emphasizes moderation rather than deprivation, which can help maintain a healthier mindset around food during festive times.
