The Addiction Help .com

I am really interested in starting this for the health benefits but I seem to be addicted to cooked, and overprocessed food. Does anyone know of any really good books about this with some recipes for me to get started with?
Yes, sushi is my favorite food!!
If not vegan than maybe vegetarian. I would still like to eat some dairy and fish.

Vegan Planet and The Garden of Vegan are good books. There's also Vegetarian Times if you are interested in subscribing to a magazine.

The best resources I have found have been PETA's websites.

Coping with food addiction.

I think I'm addicted to junk food (candy, chips, fast food, etc) and it's a major contribution to my weight gain. I'm working out and it helps but my lack of self control when it comes to junk food is ruining my weight loss efforts.

If you were a junk-a-holic (lol) and have cut out junk food from your diet (or consume a LOT less than you used to), how did you do it? Any tips would be appreciated.

When I added Stack Body Tune Up, my trips to the snack machine went to no trips.

I think some people think that because it relates to food and you should be able to stop this behavior at the drop of a hat, supplements shouldn't be used.

I, however, think otherwise. Just as a cigarette smoker might use a nicotine patch to stop smoking, a junk food eater might use a supplement.

I added Stack Body Tune Up to my current diet and with 2 days, I noticed that I didn't make trips to the snack machine. It removed the cravings. Now when I approach my target weight, I will have new habits and a smaller stomach created.

I have lost 33.5 pounds since July 15, 2006 by adding Stack Body Tune Up to my diet.

If I may be of further assistance, let me know.

I really think I'm addicted to food. It seems to be the only thing that brings me real pleasure. I swear it feels like I'm addicted to drugs. How can I overcome this?

there is no good way, but the best way is to form a habit to do something when you feel like eating. drink some water/get some Gatorade/tea/ something--you will need to find something that will work-if you can get past the urge to eat (it will pass within 5 minutes) then you got a chance-and yeah, it will take some real will power to do. good luck

It's really hard for her because she actually is addicted to fastfood and shes already mobidly obese . I don't want to see her get sick anymore and its bad for her children also . And she is willing to accept help from me but i'm only a teenager and i just want to inspire her to become healthy and happy.

Maybe have her take a look at what I eat?... Write this down babe...

I’m a Vegetarian and I’m super thin, and I always have a lot of protein, and I hate tofu loll ...and I have tons of snacks to choose from

I bareeeely work out ....and I’ve never had a belly, big thighs, or big butt SO Listen k? I'm pretty much perfect-its not cocky,i just am...

Walk Walk Walk! and walk some more...its actually better than running....running makes your ankles weak over time. Do you want that when your older? I don't think so. I actually do the bike, which is amazing...the faster you petal the more calories you burn....the belly is actually burning fat b/c you are sweating. Not a lot of ppl. know that walking on treadmill/bike/or walking outside burns fat around the mid section...but it is so true. ALSO IMPORTANT: Do not use incline k? b/c your thighs will get bigger...try little to no resistance!! :) Walking also will burn the extra surrounding fat that is covering muscles (underneath it)...so definitely do a lot of carido. Try sit ups too like 2 to 3 times a week to make abs show quicker!



Being a vegetarian or even one that eats red meat or dairy like ONCE IN AWHILE is the best to be one because you are healthy as a horse and you won't have that excess fat and food inside your intestines that most red meats do.

Look, alright, I’m not trying to promote becoming a vegetarian, but here me out k?

Here's what I eat and my protein is perfect and I'm super healthy and have tons of snacks to choose from

Having a high protein diet is good in loosing fat, because the more protein is in a food item the less total fat and calories from fat!

I eat lots of beans (Lima, Soy, red kidney, black, navy- RAW; never in can(but that is just my choice-if you wanted canned its NOOOO PROBLEM)

Try Quinoa too, you can find it in your grain, beans, or nut aisles

I also eat lots of salad with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, carrots-yum yum!


The entire kosher aisle has manyyyy products to munch on!

Also, Some Kashi products are great to snack on!

Try Edamame too!- tons of protein and tastes delicious! (Veggie section even though it’s a bean loll)

Dairy (if you eat it): cheese-I'd suggest you go for this yogurt called "Fage 0" or "Chobani" yogurt (it has about 15 grams of protein in it I believe)... Ummm lets see, what else? Theres Goat cheese and ALL goat products which I consider to eat if my protein is too low (but that is rare b/c I usually get my protein in evvveryday.

ALL vegetables are fun and easy to cook-I like broccoli, asparagus, yams, pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower-and you can do whatever you want with it (fry, boil, steam, baked...etc.)

Have you ever heard of Matzo's? they are crackers that have 4 grams of fat per serving (1) and only has 21 grams to 27 grams of Carbs in it depending on which version you get. BUT make sure you get the 100% whole wheat ones ya know?-just to be the healthiest. There is also absolutely no sugar in it either (sugar if not burned turns into fat btw)…..
The calories range from like 90 to 140 calories too! Oh, did I mention they are extremely delicious!? (Kosher aisle)

Mott’s applesauce, no added sugar is one of my favorite things to eat too!
You can find organic applesauce too which provide different flavors without added sugar
All “no added sugar” products are phenomenal

NOTE: BEEF, Oh my god -it is very bad for you and does not leave your intestine for months and months (look it up on internet...it’s the worse food for you-unless used in moderation and VERY VERY small portions)

Brown rice or even white rice is great too
Miso soups are fantastic as well as any other soups (especially the ones with very little sodium)

Fruit is ALWAYS a great snack at night!

Ok, that’s all I can think about now off the top of my head, if you need to know anymore then just message me k?

Take care

(I know I went on a rampage here, but I honestly hope this helps!)

Trying to cut down on fats and add fiber to my diet... no more sodas (AGAIN) Any more tips that are easy to work into a junk food addicts diet regimen are more than welcome! I'm taking fiber and B12 as my dietary supplements anything else?

Always eat breakfast. Something like a honeynut cheerios w/ low fat milk, low sugar oatmeal, fruit. I started doing that and eating lean cuisines or healthy choice meals for lunch. They are really very good and low cal and low sodium with vitamins and such. If you are used to eating more it will take a little bit to get used to eating less but it doesn't take that long. For snacks I do a kashi granola like bar. Then whatever I want in moderation for dinner. Try to stay away from sweets and snacks like chips. It has worked very well for me not only have I noticed my pants fitting a little more loosely but I feel better.
