@Maddie – a thin slice of banana cake isn’t a bad thing! It sounds like you work hard and eat well. I suggest you consider having a “fun meal” once a week where you can eat whatever you like. Read about my “carbolicious” meal: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com.....your-plan/ .

I really like this. I barely eat junk food, I eat things with low calories, low fat, and in the right proportions. I work out at least once a day. But, every now and then… every once in a while… I have junk food craving. My junk food is salt and vinegar chips, or dark chocolate. E.g, yesterday and today. Yesterday I ate a bowl of salt and vinegar chips, 5 mint slice biscuits, drank a glass of coke. I felt like total crap after eating it. Today I’ve been good, I had low fat spinach and ricotta cannelloni (I rarely eat such things for lunch) for lunch. But, after… my sister’s banana cake was sitting there untouched. I had a tiny slice… minuscule. But, now I feel crappy and guilty for eating it. I haven’t worked out for 3 days because It’s been raining. Today it’s fine, and I’m going for a walk/run for 45 minutes today. That’s my usual work out. So… I think I’m going to try and embrace the ‘No junk food’ thing for at least 1 month. If I can make it, I’ll continue to 6 months. I’ll substitute fruits for sweet junk food. Water and juices instead of soft drink. Which, this week is the first time I’ve had coke in forever. I generally eat tuna or salmon with brown rice and vegetables for dinner, or whole grain pasta with a tomato based sauce. I only eat lean red meat maybe once or twice a week, and the portion is only the size of my fist. I don’t eat cheese, and I only have non fat milk in my coffee of a morning. I hope I can do it. Cause I’m sick of feeling guilty and crappy after I indulge in my junk food addictions.

I have once gone 3-4 months without junk food at all (referring to fast food chains like MacDonald’s and Carl’s Junior as these are the more common ones in Singapore). As a fan of all foods in general, the craving came back soon after.

However, I exercise regularly at 4-5 times a week, doing mostly cardio workouts. I learn to work extra if I were to have that meal of mac, and I restrict myself to at most 2 meals a month. Also, I try to reduce my other meal sizes, especially fat contents, as I would have/be having that high fat meal.

Anyway, I cut myself out of potato chips or snacks like that, and carbonated drinks. I don’t take more 1L of coke or similar beverage in a year, and bags of potato chips were completely wiped out since a few years ago. When I am offered, I will only help myself to 1 or 2 slices and it stops there. That amounts to less than a regular packet of chips.

I feel better that way as I reward myself with a little treat for my hardwork, and it also gives me the motivation to work even harder just to work towards that meal. Cheers!

Great article. I’ve been off the junk for a few years now and the difference is truly amazing. My sense of taste has actually changed to the point where I don’t even enjoy junk food. It’s a great feeling.
