How Do I Stop Eating Junk Food?

Junk food” is a term used to describe food that is high in calories from sugar and/or fat, and possibly also sodium, but with little dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, or other important forms of nutritional value. It is also known as HFSS food (high in fat, salt, and sugar).

Related to my habit of snacking, here goes what works for me:

Don’t buy, don’t eat: When I don’t buy them, I don’t eat them.

Have enough sleep: The cravings are not as intense when I get enough quality sleep.

Eat more wholesome foods: When I eat more oats, brown rice, adequate-protein, etc – I’d feel full for a longer time which reduces the need to snack.

Have healthy snack alternatives: If I must eat something in between meals, I’d go for guava or unsalted nuts.

Meditate: Meditation eliminates stress and reduces my unhealthy snacking habit. It makes it easier for me to have the resolve to do the above as well.

Better focus: With increased mental capacity and focus from meditation – when I have work to do, nowadays I focus on that alone and end up forgetting about snacking.

Hope this helps! ?? Thank you!
