Yes - junk food is just that junk. What you put in your mouth is the biggest single contributor to weight gain or loss - regardless of all the people who are 'big boned' or have a slow metabolism or whatever BS they want to keep telling themselves.
The quantity and quality of what you eat is very important. Processed food should be avoided if possible. Always read labels as many products make misleading claims to dupe people.
For example: instant noodles with 99% fat free written on the packet, never mind the insane amount of salt in them, the fact that they are high in carbohydrates, low in fiber and low in vitamins and minerals....a can of coke is 99% fat free but is, of course, loaded with calories in the form of sugar.
Here are some more tips:
- Drinking soda is one of the biggest causes of weight gain. It is literally liquid sugar. Drink water instead. Water may seem bland at first because of the highly sweetened soda drinks you may be used to - persist the desire to have the sugar fix of soda will decrease.
- If you want a snack have an apple or a piece of fruit.
- Avoid muesli bars with honey or yoghurt in them, muesli with a lot of dried fruit can be high in sugar.
- A good starting point is to keep a diary of what you are eating and when throughout the day for a week and then go back and review the diary. Then evaluate if you really needed to eat at that time. If you did need to eat was what you consumed healthy?
- Explore new foods there are many healthy tasty dishes that can be eaten.
