(2014·长沙二模)If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day，think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year，a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most，with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz. The report into our eating habits found that，on average，we eat at least two snacks a day，with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men，with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research，by The Village Bakery，found biscuits are the most common vice，with 42 percent regularly opening a pack，closely followed by chocolate (38 percent)，crisps (32 percent) and cakes ( 13 percent)．

And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition，33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon. Simon Staddon，of The Village Bakery，said：“We were aware time－poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix’ lunches are affecting weight gain and general well－being.Popular mid－afternoon pick －me－ups such as biscuits，chocolate and cakes are high in calories，fat and full of sugar，all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”

The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.Twenty －four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying，compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately，it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.
