How to get rid of the temptation to eat junk food?
I've recently joined the gym and I go about 4 times a week for about an hour- 2 hours. I always start off eating healthy in the mornings, workout, and then eat something healthy again. Unfortunately, I always find myself eating all this junk food to relieve my hunger. Don't say that I should just eat healthy food to get rid of my hunger because I already know that, I just want to know how to get rid of the temptation to eat junk food. thank you!
If I stop drinking soda, eat fast food and junk food will I lose weight?
Do you exercise? For most people, unfortunately, you need to adjust both your diet and add exercise to lose weight. Try to drink more water, even if you're hungry. Sometimes the body will give the signal that it's hungry when its actually thirsty. Carry healthy snacks with you. Nuts or carrot sticks for example. For me, eating salads helps a lot. It takes the edge off my hunger and helps me get my veggies so I don't indulge in the worse stuff later on. Don't deny yourself those foods. Every once in a while is okay.
I eat mainly junk food but i'm still skinny?
You are a 17 year old, so right now, eat it up. Over time, though, you will notice that you can't eat the same things as you could before. You'll feel more tired, sluggish, hell, you may binge on junk one day when you're 23 and the next morning, feel like you were hit by a freight train. Because of where you're at in life, you'll burn through food quicker than a rocket burns through fuel, because it IS your fuel. You have a very high metabolism which means you burn through calories very quickly. My little brother was the same way at your age, and so was my husband. Both could eat whole pizzas, three double cheese burgers, and 4 orders of fries in one sitting, LOL! But now that they are older, they can't eat the same because their bodies have changed, and your's will too, most likely. I would say that you may start feeling the effects in your mid-twenties. Suddenly, all the junky food won't feel so good after you've eaten it. Oh, it'll still taste great, but your body won't be able to process it like it once could. You should switch to healthier alternatives and start exercising regularly by then. If you carry on eating junk into your 30's and 40's, the damage may not be repairable, and you could find yourself overweight and diabetic. It happens.
Can you lose weight eating fast food?
Losing weight is a matter of calories eaten vs. calories burned. So if you choose a 1200 calorie day diet, you can fit in fast food (within reason) as long as you stay under 1200 calories a day you will lose weight. However, the fat to calories ratio on most fast food isn't really great so while you may be losing weight, you may not be healthy in the long run - too much saturated fat can lead to heart disease, strokes, etc. Best to limit fast food to once in only a great while. Most fast food restaurants provide nutrition information on their websites so you can look it up and see just how little you can eat if you want to stay under 1200 calories.
Is eating fast food every single day while pregnant dangerous?
My brothers girlfriend is 26 weeks pregnant with his kid. Not only has she eaten nothing but fast food during the pregnancy, she has also only been to the free clinic 4 times during her whole pregnancy and the only thing they do there is a pap smear and make her pee in a cup. ( Its a sucky clinic ) She actually went today and they told her that they found sugar in her urine. She said that they have to do a sugar test now because she might have diabetes. Is this because she is always eating fast food ? And no exaggeration, she really does eat it every single day. Also, How does this affect the baby ? Can he too become diabetic ?
