Now there are a lot of different cafes that offer a quick snack. The food in such establishments seems to many to be very tasty, but in fact it is very harmful and very high in calories. Obesity comes from fast food, in America this is one of the main problems. How to deal with the constant desire to eat junk food?
In fact, everything is very simple: the less you take any junk food into your mouth, the less you want it. But you need to erase certain stereotypes about "fast food", and this takes time.
Read the ingredients on the packaging.
Use the 5 Ingredient Rule. If there are more than 5 ingredients in one product, then it is better to put it back on the shelf.
Fast food captivates our brains by constantly introducing new flavors. In fact, this can be achieved by adding various seasonings and sauces to ordinary healthy food, experimenting with combinations of tastes.
One of the reasons for the love of fast food is stressful situations. A hamburger, French fries, chips, etc. are great for dealing with loose nerves. You must find the reason why this is happening in your body. In fact, stress stimulates the urge to chew on something sweet or unhealthy. All this happens only at the physiological level, so it is possible and even necessary to deal with this.
If you're stressed, try breathing techniques or simply get distracted by an activity that you enjoy. Fast food can be compared to a drug. To completely abandon it - willpower alone is not enough. You need to understand how junk food is created (using a large number of flavor enhancers and unnatural additives, carcinogens), how manufacturers deceive us, how they influence our brain through advertising.
