Yeah man I feel you, junk food cravings are no joke. Here are some things that helped me:

- Drink a big glass of water whenever you get a craving. A lot of times we mistake thirst for hunger.

- Keep your hands and mouth busy with healthier snacks like veggies, fruits, nuts so you're not just sitting around thinking about food.

- Check in with your emotions too, sometimes cravings come from being bored, stressed, etc. so find other ways to relax besides eating.

- Meal prep so you always have low-cal, filling options ready to go. Making good choices easy takes away excuses.

- Get your workout on! Physical activity really curbs cravings long-term, plus you'll feel better.

- Be kind to yourself if you slip up. One cookie won't ruin all your progress, just get back on track. No shame.

- Chew gum to keep your mouth feeling rewarded and your mind off eating.

You got this man, just take it day by day. Losing weight is tough but feels so good when you start seeing results. We're all here to help if you need advice. You can do it!

It's like any addiction. You are addicted to the chemicals your brain rewards you with when you eat. You have to break the cycle to reduce the reward your brain is giving you. Like Pavlovs dog. So replace the dopamine with something healthy that gives you a dopamine reward. It will take straight will power to uncondition yourself.

I would recommend seeing someone who specialises in helping patients with eating disorders. Losing weight won’t help you at all until you tackle the source of your food addiction.

I would ask what are you eating? That makes a big difference in what you crave. It could be psychological or that what your craving has some nutrient that you are lacking

Well I have Mental illness so it make me struggle with food because it give me dopamine I do eat fat foods but I get to a point where I just crave foods so much

There's a lot of variables with food but I'd recommend seeking out a nutritional Dr that has experience with keto
