Eat Less Junk Food: 1 Simple Tip to Avoid Temptation

     Hey Guys!

     For this week, I have 1 simple tip to avoid temptation to eat unhealthy foods. And let's be real, the temptation to eat unhealthy is always there for all of us. Not everyone has the willpower to eat broccoli and kale everyday. But there is this 1 trick we all can call on to reduce the amount of junk food we eat.

     So my tip for eating healthier is to not buy as much junk food. I told you it was simple. But simple doesn't mean easy.

     But think of it this way, when you buy junk food you have to deal with the temptation to eat it all the time, and sometimes you eat it just because you have it. Now you can reduce that temptation to the amount of time you spend at the store.

     That alone makes your job much easier. If you can resist the urge to buy junk food for 1-2 hours a week, or however long you grocery shop, you can resist temptation for the rest of the week (well, except for every time you pass a McDonald's).

     This does not mean you should not buy junk food at all, but if you want to have 1 cheat meal a week, buy enough for that one cheat meal and nothing more.

     It may be difficult however, to get used to eating healthy. But often you will learn to appreciate the flavor of natural foods sooner than you think. Junk food tends to contain an overabundance of salt and sugar, which overload your taste buds. When you get rid of that overload you will be able to taste natural foods much better.

     Now here's the part where you are going to hate me. Here is my list of junk food (it covers more than just candy): processed foods (microwavable foods, canned goods, candy), pastries, refined fruits, vegetables, and grains, sodas, and juices.

     You will live a much healthier life eating whole, unrefined foods. For one you will look healthier because your skin, nails, hair, etc. will physically look healthier. You will also feel more energetic because you will maintain the proper nutrition for a fully functioning body.

     So, I hope you all keep this in mind the next time you go shopping. You're basically taking all of your temptation to eat unhealthy and shrinking it. I promise you, you can do it, and you can live a healthier life. This will probably be the best advice I can give you to eat healthier, but I hope you all check back for more tips, advice, and information in the future.

     Get stronger!
