Craving Food! Junk Food - - - -?!
Question: Craving Food! Junk Food - - - -.?
Hiya. I am a little worried, because i seem to be craving junk food everyday...it's really getting to me because i want to lose weight...
It isn't just junk food i am craving, i crave food generally! If i eat a full plate of rice and curry, i would still crave for more food and more without getting full...or if i do get full i eat more on top!
Argh! Can you please help me. I really want to lose a couple of stones, but how can i stay motivated to eat less, and avoid junk food.?
Any opinions/tips are welcome.
Thanks all Health Question & Answer

What I do is a plan out a menu each day in with a food journal. If I eat anything, I have to write it down. I use FitDay, a free online program that tell me how many calories I am eating each day, so if I eat too much I know I have to look at that calorie total. Sometimes I decide the guilt of the high number is not worth it.Health Question & Answer
Fruit is low in calories and helps to fill you up. You must replace a lot of your high calorie foods with fruit if you want to lose weight.
Perhaps you could buy fruit in bulk such as a large bag of oranges or a crate of apples.Health Question & Answer
