Reducing Those Junk Food Cravings

Not really..I struggle with this. Part of the problem is having a bit too much of it around I think.

I avoid junk food as much as I can, if I don't have it at home I won't be tempted.

A whole lot of junk food is presented to the consumer each day. I think the discipline of not being tempted comes with age and the necessity to keep on a healthy diet. For example, I see young men devour food like they have been starved for the longest time. Fact is, they are just two hours earlier. It is in their constitution, to eat more, their youthful bodies need it. They exert more energy. Contrast that to someone of the same age but is afflicted with diabetes, this young lad is consciously aware of the repercussions of eating junk, thus, craving or no craving, he opts not to partake. Your suggestion is a good starter for everyone used to junk food eating. It is hoped that junk food disappears totally, for the well-being of everyone,

I never eat and ate junk food. I prepare three meals every day and we always eat at the same hour. Should I feel angry I have carrot sticks in the refrigerator.

Wow the grocery stores are crammed to the ceiling with snack items. I have to just not bring the tasty stuff in to the house or I am lost. I've been caving too much lately.

Your suggestions are good. If I get hungry I first have as much water as I can drink. It seems to help and I eat less.

I try to make sure that I have handy snacks that are also healthy. I find it helps me to keep a food diary, and I will have the odd treat. There are days I do struggle, whether it's because I don't have control over what is available or whether I'm just finding it difficult. I eat a lot of good foods, and I am usually quite good at keeping my sweet treats within certain limits but without feeling deprived. I follow a Slimming World plan, which is more about knowing what's in your food and finding healthy alternatives rather than 'dieting'. I've lost (and kept off) over 6 stone so it's obviously worked! I do still struggle, though, especially as I can't get to the support groups any more - that was something that really helped me, especially knowing I was going to get weighed and when other people said I had inspired them. I haven't been great just lately. I've been out for lunch with colleagues today, then I had doughnuts, and I've just eaten junk since I got home. I'll get back on it tomorrow. I'm getting married later this year and already have my wedding dress - that is most definitely a good incentive to stay the same size!

I keep a couple of favourite foods in and that way I eat normally its rare if I overeat.

I have always had a strong will power when it comes to dieting although there are times like recently when I give in.

I keep it in the pantry in the basement. If I decide to indulge, I need to put my small portion in a dish, put the rest away and have an apple or carrots to supplement my treat! Sometimes this plan works. Lately I have been indulging far too much.

I crave of that too especially Lays potato chips.But I will control my craving promise.

I try not to keep it around. i drink lots of water. and I allow myself one cheat meal (meal NOT day) every week or two. the less I have it around the less I crave it and when I do have my cheat meal I don't overdo it. also for times when I'm just bored and want to eat for something to do, i keep trail mix on hand. just having something crunchy helps me

In fact, I do not have a plan because I do not even use this food, I'm just not an fan, and that's the only reason. People mostly begin to take care of their diet only when they get sick. Sometimes it happens that I eat, but I really do not care because I do not eat the often.

I won't stock anything on the shelves for 5days and just buy fruits and put on the table so no choice not to pick what is around and at weekend that's my cheat day.

My plan to fight the munchies is not to buy junk food. However, I do make myself something to munch on occasionally, and it's always healthy. Then there's the Veggie Straws I ran into not long ago. My problem with them - I can't just eat the required amount. I munch while I work, and soon the bag is either half gone or completely gone. It's not a small bag either. The good thing about Veggie Straws is that they are good for you in a snack kind of way. The highest thing they have is sodium. If I don't buy them often, which I don't. I'm okay with that.
