There\u2019s a reason for this \u2013 the food companies actually formulate each bite for maximum crave ability. This is done with a special tantalizing balance of sugar, fat and salt.<\/p>\n<p>But while junk food tastes pleasing\u2026it\u2019s detrimental to your fat loss results.<\/p>\n<p>Unclear on what exactly classifies as junk food? You\u2019re not alone, especially these days as many junk foods are being deceptively marketed and packaged as healthy choices.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the checklist on what classifies something as junk food:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Junk food has little to zero nutritional value<\/li>\n<li>Junk food is processed and packaged<\/li>\n<li>Junk food is high in sugar, fat and salt<\/li>\n<li>Junk food is high in calories<\/li>\n<li>Junk food is rarely eaten out of hunger<\/li>\n<li>Soda pop, convenience foods, packaged snacks, frozen treats\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>4 Steps to Kill Junk Food Cravings<\/b><br \/>\nPicture the next 30 days of your life being 100% free of junk food. How would your results improve? How would you feel? How many empty calories would you save yourself from? Now let\u2019s take some action!<\/p>\n<p><b>Step #1: Clear Out the Junk<\/b><br \/>\nStep one is simple: get rid of all the junk food that you currently have in your home, office and car. Go through with a big garbage bag and toss anything that remotely resembles junk food. Remember, junk food is stuff that is high in empty calories.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step #2: Stock Up on Healthy Snacks<\/b><br \/>\nNow you didn\u2019t think I was going to let you starve, did you? Step two is where you go to the store and stock up on delicious, nutritious foods that will take the place of the junk food. Nuts, seeds, fruit, veggies, hard boiled eggs, meatballs, and hearty salads or burrito bowls (like the recipe below) are great items to have on hand. You\u2019ll eat less of these healthy snacks, since these aren\u2019t empty calories, but rather nutrient-filled calories that satiate.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step #3: HALT!<\/b><br \/>\nWhen the next craving strikes you, tell yourself to HALT! This word is actually a handy acronym. Ask yourself, \u201cAm I Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired?\u201d If you\u2019re hungry then reach for one of the healthy snacks from step two. If you\u2019re angry, then explore the issue and seek resolution. If you are lonely, then reach out to a friend, instead of reaching for junk food. And if you are tired then make the time to grab a nap or get to bed early to catch up on sleep.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step #4: Stick With It<\/b><br \/>\nThe first day that you go without junk food will be the hardest day. The second day will be a smidge easier. The third day will be a smidge easier than the second\u2026and so on. The fact is that your taste buds adjust to the foods that you exist on. When your diet is filled with junk foods then that is what your taste buds will crave, but as you shift to a diet that is filled with fresh, nutritious foods then your taste buds will forget all about that old junk food. Stick with it, one day at a time, and you will break free from the grip of junk food addiction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever tasted packaged junk food (and who hasn\u2019t) then you know just how addicting it can be.
