Avoid junk food
Tips on how to avoid junk food.
Article by : SpunOut.ie
Don't snack on sugary or fatty foods- try these alternatives instead:
- ALWAYS eat breakfast so that you don't crave sugary foods mid-morning. If you do skip meals then don't overeat to compensate afterwards.
- Eat more fruit and vegetables (at least five portions a day), they'll fill you up and are perfect when you have the urge to snack on something.
- Carry a healthy lunch with you to work, university or school. The easiest way to do this is to make sandwiches filled with plenty of salad or cook enough dinner to have leftovers for lunch the next day. Make sure it's enough to keep you away from snacking on buns or crisps during breaks.
- Socialise and meet friends in places where there's no food to tempt you. Ask friends not to encourage you to eat when you're out for the night, especially when your will power is weakened after a few drinks.
- Go for a walk instead of watching TV, carry some fruit instead of that sticky bun or prepare extra food on Thursday evening to avoid eating out on Friday.
- If there are certain things you do that always mean eating something junky or sugary (snacking at the TV, your morning coffee and sticky bun, burgers on Friday evening) then change your routine to avoid these triggers.
Remember – move a little more and eat a little less junk!
