Usually junk food is refined and alot of the nutrients are stripped from those foods.Those foods should be eaten as treats or in moderation as they tend to lack the types or natural nutrients the body benefits from.Such as Vegetables,protein,wholegrains and fruits at the same time fruits should be your natural source of sugar they should also be eaten in moderation.

Yes. Too many calories and not enough nutrition. Your body will be hungry until it gets the nutrients it needs.

If one eats a healthy balanced diet, you don't crave excess food (unless you have a medical condition).

Is it advisable to fast when one is pregnant?

I would not advise it--perhaps instead, give up all junk food!! The baby needs all the nutrients to grow. If he/she does not get them from food, he/she will take them from your body. If you have say, excess weight, give up the empty calorie food but since your baby is forming and nutrients like folic acid and who knows what else is needed at this critical time in your baby's growth and development, keep the nutrients and skip the junk.
