Stop eating "junk food"

Okay . . . so now that we understand the importance of keeping a "food journal" for 2 days . . . is about being "ACCOUNTABLE" for the amount of food we consume . . .

And understanding that even though we "think" we're not eating a lot of food in any given day . . . we "really" eat more than we think . . . and keeping a journal will give us validation . . .

And with this . . . we now need to talk about "what" food we're eating . . .

So . . . the question for today is this . . . What do you consider "junk food"???

Because we "all" have our own version.

So let's better understand . . .

The definition of "junk food" is this . . .

Food and drink that's "low in nutritional value" (meaning low in vitamins, minerals and fiber) and "high" in saturated fat, added sugar and/or added salt.

Which are all NOT a necessary part of any diet.

Now . . . most "junk food" falls into the categories of either "snack food", "breakfast cereals" or "fast food"

And some examples would be . . .

Cakes, bake goods, biscuits, cookies, pies, cereals, hot dogs, chips, burgers, pizza, chocolate, candy and other sweets, processed meat like bacon or deli meat, ice cream, soft drinks, sports and energy drinks and alcohol, just to mention a few.

Now . . . all these and more . . . taste "good" . . . but . . . they have little . . . to no "nutritional value" . . .
