When you're at work, unhealthy food can haunt you. Leftover croissants from the morning meeting lurk in the kitchen, and your coworkers beg you to come try the latest deep-fried dish at the nearby greasy spoon. The truth is, your health is your responsibility, and you've got to make healthier lunch choices. If you make your lunch at home and bring it to work, you won't be tempted to indulge.

Jillian's Tip of the Day! - Choose the Right Dressing
If you've been reading your labels at the grocery store, you know that many salad dressings contain unpronounceable, processed ingredients. Those types are a big NO in my book. But that doesn't mean you have to eat your salad dry. Look for a brand with as few additives as possible. Newman's Own is a perfect example of a brand with minimally processed ingredients. As an alternative to store-bought dressings, oil and vinegar or lemon juice can liven up a salad, too.
