“Why do we only crave junk food?” - Mad Life Mini

Why are our cravings always for foods that are bad for us? Why don’t we ever crave healthy stuff?

How do you keep food from becoming the focus of your everyday life?

    I am not really addicted to food.  Sometimes I will eat when stressed but not often and even when I do I make a choice to do it, it isn't like I have to have it like an addict.

    I'm an emotional eater and am over-weight.  I know what I need to do but it's really hard.  I try to chew gum, sometimes, when I feel like eating.

    I definitely eat when stressed, bored etc. This year I'm trying to replace food that isn't as healthy w fruit& veggies.

    I eat to fuel my body... and when I want a treat, I use MODERATION. I also work out extra if I know I am going to have something really bad.

    Drink something instead of eat.
