junkfood!

Junk foods that really have no food value at all aside from salt, fat and msg will eventually take its toll on our bodies. If it is all we take, definitely it will not be good for our health. Some take it just for snacks in between good meals. I take junkfood sometimes but I don't do it regularly.

I really love it as well. Why didn't God make carrots taste as good as cheeseburgers? :-D I try to limit my use of junkfood though, I know it's bad for me.

I am not the best one to be giving advice as I would tell you to keep eating the food you like even if it is junk food. Junk food is my favourite and I often make a nutritous meal for my husband and I will eat the junk food my self. I have eaten junk food for the best part of my life and it hasn't done me any harm. I am perfectly healthy and I will continue to eat junk food...yummy!

When to Start Dieting? This one is for women: Never start a diet one week before your period. The hormonal imbalances will drive you nuts, will make you frustrated, and the water retained in your body will make appear as if you haven't shed a pound. Actually, you will look as if you took pounds. So spare yourself! The best moment to start a diet is two days after your period has started, when your cravings subdue and your body starts eliminating the retained water. It's better not only from a psychological point of view, but also from a physiological one. So, girls, did you know that the body retains up to 1 liter of water before and during your period? Keep that in mind next time you are complaining that you cannot lose weight. Personally, I retain even more sometimes. Anyway, I started this new way of eating. My friend lost 20 pounds almost following it in the US, and if she could do it there, I can do it here! The basic principles are the ones I have mentioned already. 5-6 meals a day and two or three more substantial. Never eat until you are full, just until you are not hungry anymore. Take out sugar so your insulin is not high and stopping you from losing weight. My daily intake varies from 1,200 calories to 1,500 calories. I don't think that going under this is helpful or healthy. In the morning I'm having a Diet Cereal Bar and half a glass of yogurt. Two-three hours later I have lunch (for example today I had three small pieces of chicken nuggets and 3 large spoons of eggplants and yogurt salad). Then I had one Diet (with fructose instead of sugar) fruit cheesy yogurt. Then I had dinner - other 3 pieces of nuggets, one egg, and lots of lettuce - and then one more fruity cheesy yogurt. I could have added more, but I feel ok. I am not hungry. I could use some fruits though.

Some junk food has nutritional value, in moderation. Why not try eating a little bit of many different ones. Or maybe try a junk food with a nutritional food and that way you are getting the best of both worlds. :) I especially crave pretzels. Salty foods seem to be my favorite but sometimes I have a ice milk bar or a small dish of ice cream.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Junk food is just so much more tastier than real food. Sorry, I can't give you advice. I think I need some advice myself : (
