Chai-break treats at work — what's your practical approach?
Many offices have an almost-daily chai break with samosas, biscuits or mithai — and it’s hard to avoid without seeming rude. If you try to eat reasonably most days, how do you handle these snacks? Do you take tiny portions, bring your own snack, use a polite decline, or time things differently? Share what actually works in your workplace.

Practical combo of social + appetite tactics that actually work: - Reduce temptation: have a small protein/fibre snack first (yogurt, fruit, roasted chana or a few nuts) so you’re less likely to overeat. - Portion tricks: cut a samosa in half, take one tiny mithai, or share a piece — people rarely notice. - Swap kindly: bring/offer healthier group snacks (fruit, khakhra, roasted chana) occasionally. - Polite declines: short lines like “I’m full today” or “I’ll pass this time” are fine. (Protein and fibre increase satiety and blunt glucose spikes compared with refined sweets.)
