Doctor Michael Mosley has noted that craving junk food can often trap people into an endless cycle of takeaways, that can even mimic an addiction of sorts.
A cheeky packet of crisps or a bar of chocolate can cheer you up during a busy or stressful day at work.
While the main focus for many to give up junk food is through willpower alone, diet expert Michael Mosley has noted that it's not as simple as just powering through. The site explained that junk food can trigger the same receptors in our brains that addictive substances do, so overeating can become common. Excessive consumption can also result in health issues, like obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
As well as this, sleep deprivation can peak a lipid in your bloodstream called an endocannabinoid that makes eating even more pleasurable.Pre-pack your meals A 2015 study found that eating fast food and being outwith the household is a main risk factor for lower quality of diet, with a higher calorie and fat intake for many.
Make some simple swaps Quitting a bad habit cold turkey can be difficult, whether its junk food or something else just as addictive. Eat mindfully Turning to junk food at a time of convenience, sadness or otherwise thoughtlessness is common when our focus isn't on the food, but something else - like the television.
