Tips for controlling cravings?

[QueenBeeJay]

So I currently weigh 158 pounds and want to get down to about 145. I exercise regularly, however my biggest downfall is food. I crave such junk and can't seem to control myself when it comes to eating... if I see it I need to eat it. Does anyone have any tips on this? Anything that might help me improve my eating habits and actually lose weight.

Honestly in my experience the only way to do it, is to break the habit. You have to exercise control you may not feel you have and simply not give in. Continue to eat healthy and eat enough that you shouldn't be hungry, but if you do get into habit or boredom hunger try having a green tea or something of that nature.

Not buying junk food at all, or if you must, only in small amounts, would be a good start. You could also slowly switch your diet over to healthier options that have higher amounts of protein/fiber, less simple sugars to keep you satisfied and not hungry at all for longer.

Eat loads of food that will not make you fat, like vegetables or crackers.
Together with other meals they'll make you feel full though you have not taken lots of calories on board.

Try eating almonds, or carrots, they will fill you but don't have much fat in them

almonds actually have a lot of fat in them, but theyre healthy fats

@addictwithapen yeah that's true but it's a good snack at times to curb urges and we do need healthy fats to some extent

First, throw away all your junk food, if you don't have it in the house you won't eat it.
Try to eat 'clean' for 21 days, stick to whole foods, it takes 21 days to build a habit, then it's gonna be so much easier.
