Why do people have junk food addictions?

One thing I have noticed about junk food is that it never feels satisfying. You can take them throughout the day and not feel like you have eaten anything.

 I understand that it is supposed to be a snack and should not be replaced with food, but it still baffles me how people can consume so much in a day and it still does not qualify as food. 

> Now, I have a theory why this so. 

Normally food is supposed to be filling. When it comes to filling up, carbonates are the real deal, which is why you need to supplement carbs with protein and other types of food to achieve a properly balanced diet. 

However, junk food lacks fiber and hardly holds any weight, allowing people to eat a lot of junk food and never realize they have consumed so much because they are not full.


For me, junk food is not all that bad once in a while, but it becomes problematic when people consume it in large quantities while taking added preservatives, artificial sugar, coloring saccharine, excessive salt, and so on. This is the mechanism by which junk food causes weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and high levels of bad cholesterol.


> Can people master how to properly take junk food?

 No. 

I believe this is because junk food is designed to be addictive due to its lack of filling properties. So this is why it is difficult to get in and out. It is either in or out, and it is difficult to find middle ground.





Sodas are among the most addictive junk foods. Then, years ago, I was mostly binging on soda at every opportunity, which I did for more than 7 years. Throughout that time, I had serious stomach and gut problems, but I lacked a proper education on what I should and should not consume.

 In contrast to salt, sugar does not have a burn mechanism in the body. Little to moderate sugar consumption may not cause type 2 diabetes, but when it becomes excessive, it indicates that the body can no longer handle the sugar; they are no longer stored as fat because the person is already overweight, and thus the body can no longer produce insulin or enough insulin to process the sugar.


## Sugar is the problem not salt 

Excess salt is also harmful, but the mechanism by which the human body excretes salt differs from that of sugar. Human tears and sweat contain salt, so sugar is often to blame for problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure.





In reality, people are always under the impression that because they are young, they are unlikely to develop diabetes. Now, while diabetes can be inherited, we must recognize that lifestyle has a greater impact.



Now, I understand that we live in a world where junk food appears to be unavoidable, but if you can eat 1% junk and 99% whole food, you are somehow safe. Unfortunately, junk foods account for 50% of most people's diets, and they have yet to find a way to overcome their addiction.



Personally, I believe that the only way to overcome junk food addiction is through self-discipline and resolve. This is the easy way. The second method is to already have complications from diabetes or heart disease, and the fear of death will do the trick. The latter is the harder path, but most people prefer to learn the hard way.

## Junk-free


I have not had any junk food in over two years. I mostly eat whole foods and have reduced my processed food intake by more than 50%, including more real tomatoes and peppers that are not in sachets with added preservatives. 

That being said, I reduced them by more than 50% but have not completely eliminated them. So, instead of biscuits or cakes, I prefer cucumber because it can serve as both a fruit and a vegetable. 

Carrots and watermelon are two other fruits to snack on, but I have not had them in a long time. However, I make sure to eat cucumber every day so that I do not miss out on the feeling of having a snack.

I eliminated red meat for the first few months of my diagnosis and replaced it with eggs, but I have since reintroduced it because it is a good source of protein and fat, especially the fatty cuts. 

I am not completely whole, as I still need to incorporate a few whole foods into my diet, but money has been a constraint, and I am happy with the progress I have made.

If it is said that we do not eat fast food, then this would also be wrong. We have all become accustomed to it and it is very difficult to break the habit because we all want to go out and eat pizza, burgers and eat different things, but we know that it is bad for our health, so it is important to control it.

I still eat fast food from time to time, but it has been a lot less lately. When I was back in college, I ate it quite a bit, and I feel better after just indulging on it every once in a while instead of multiple times a week.

I did it constantly for 7 years and a little bit more, it can be addictive though, but I guess once in a while indulgence won't do serious damage

I just felt some type of guilt when I saw your title ๐Ÿ˜…, right now, I think I consume junk more than I consume actual food. Not coz I'm addicted, but for the fact that they're easy to make and also access and somehow less expensive.
But like you said, some of these things catch up with us when we grow older. 

This is a secret; I intentionally take loads of sugar whenever I'm drinking custard coz I feel I don't drink it everyday so taking a lot of it shouldn't cause too much harm hehe.

But that first picture looks really healthy, what did you cook?

You see the excessive fat gotten from Junk food? That's one thing that whenever I remember it, I keep running away from junks... and yes, you are right...it doesn't fill up the tommy quickly and so the possibility of taking it in excess and reaping the consequences so fast! 

I think I am disciplined to some an extent when it comes to consuming junks, including soda and others, but I can't avoid processed food completely..lol

The idea is just to keep things moderately... that way, our body won't suffer much of the negative effects that comes with  some things what we consume.

Happy Sunday, big Joe!

Junks can be addictive, so I understand why people wants to binge everytime. The excessive fat is even the least of my worries, it's always the heart disease and the excessive bad cholesterol they can cause. It doesn't fill the belly but since they're always sweet, people can never get enough of it. I was once addicted to various kinds of it.

> but I can't avoid processed food completely..lol

We cannot avoid it completely, so we can only limit it, it's only people who lives in a village area where they grow all their food that can actually eat stuffs that aren't processed because of accessibility.. 

> Happy Sunday, big Joe!

Happy Sunday to you too. How are the kids?

>One thing I have noticed about junk food is that it never feels satisfying. 

To them, itโ€™s like if they donโ€™t eat junk foods in a day, they feel they havenโ€™t eaten any food even after eating the right food. They have become so addictive that it becomes harder for them to restrain themselves from eating junks. 

Most of us, as we were growing, we were never taught how junks could be damaging to our health as anything goes into the mouth. I actually stopped taking these soft drinks long time ago and had to settle for maltina, but that itself has lots of sugar which I then settled for nutri milk but most times, I always prefer fruits and it has helped to reduce my sugar intake. 

Junks doesnโ€™t satisfy one no matter how much you took it except youโ€™d go for the real meal that nourishes the body. But for some, no matter the leisure and education, they still wonโ€™t stop eating junks.

Meltina actually has the highest sugar of every soda, although it seems really surprising but it's actually true. It has more sugar content than coke or Fanta. I use to take a lot of it in the past, thinking it was better than coke or Fanta, but it turned out it has more sugar than the rest. 
Well, in this modern day Nigeria, it seems inevitable to avoid sugary drinks, but taking them moderately or minimally is the best.

Just my thought, too and what made me go for it not knowing it contains high sugar in it. It is well. Because we cannot actually avoid taking sugary stuff but as you said, moderate is the key.

The older I get the less junk food I eat. It's never very healthy and usually high in calories and unhealthy fats.  The issue with people being "addicted" the junk food is real, some people are getting a dopamine rush from it and they keep eating. It's really an eating disorder in all reality if you think about it. 

I think eating healthy and more natural foods is a smart move. Limit amounts of red meat and sugar, and watch your caloric intake. I gain weight easily now so I watch things very closely. 

A word of warning for crash dieters who eat next to nothing to lose weight, it can cause serious and even fatal health problems. I had a friend do that and ended up in the hospital for a week!

I think the older we get, the more compromised the health and immune system is. For me, I decided to cut out these junk food and it's been close to two years now, I've been eating healthier than I use to do. 

For me, I cannot add weight no matter what I eat. This is most due to my condition and not because of the food. For me, I need more protein because my system makes it hard for the body to use protein effectively, so if means I have to prioritize it more. It's complex, most times I can't eat what regular people do. 

> I gain weight easily now so I watch things very closely.

I expect so. I've noticed that when people become older they just tend to gain weight so easily and I don't even know why this is so lol.

Hmm, I believe it is a thing of the mind. Some people feel they haven't eaten junk food, they are not really enjoying them, whereas they are just killing themselves bit by bit. Another thing is that some people are so used to it that if they haven't tsken it in a day they might not be okay.  Although that is not to say that people that have some if the ailment you mentioned got that through junk food. I may agree with you that junk food does more harm than good to our health. I don't like it anyway as I rarely eat it. I eat just twice in a day and I'm okay.

Haha I understand. It's not bad to indulge once in a while, but then I've seen people it has done dangerous damage to. I have a woman my aunt treats, her blood sugar got into the 600s when the regular person's blood sugar shouldn't even exceed 105. 
She indulges in coke and Fanta everyday and it was until she started feeling dizzy and brain fog that my aunt tested her for blood sugar. Guess what? She was already in full-blown diabetes
