How do I stop bad food temptations?

Question

Okay.. I'm wanting to tone-up abit, but at the same time eat healthier.

Trouble is i give into temptation of chocolate and crisps toooo easy as it's a quick and easy snack and i'm not fussed on salad's and fruit.

Most nights I don't even cook a main meal, I just snack till I'm full which i know is bad..

How can I break this habit?

Take a web look at "carbohydrate addiction" (it is real) but you can change by slowly substituting fruit and veggies. Can't do it overnight though!

Answer 7

when you look in that mighty cupboard- you know the ones with all the cakes, crisps, chocolate and biscuits. stop and think- Will it fill you up. the answer will always be no. Often i find an apple or some strawberries provides a good sugar source if i need something sweet. As well bananas are good because they contain alot of potassium witch will keep your hunger to a minimum.

Make sure you have a good breakfast e.g weetabix and a banana because then you will be focussed for the day ahead. for lunch a sandwich and/or some salad, and then a piece of fruit-melon,grapes, strawberries, apples (whatever takes your fancy). For dinner a good meal. e.g stir fry chicken, or a roast with a few more veg than you usually have. Then you can have a little indulgence snak e.g a small chocolate bar OR a tube of smarties! anyway i hope this is helpful!

Good Luck!

You just have to learn to have better self control-- don't worry it will come-- a few years ago i would eat like 3 bowls of ice cream with a hard shell topping and it was soooooooooo good! But then I realized that I didn't want to feel this gross and it won't go away- i would get older and start gaining weight off of it so then I just told myself stop and developed the drive to not do it. You should try putting sticky notes on your fridge and in the Kitchen with encouraging things like do I want a sunday or kick as abs and a load of confidence? Haha i hope it works! good luck!

Answer 9

Answer 10

Think of it in a different way, if you eat sweets and chocolate then your teeth will rot.
