Junk food is an informal term applied to some foods which are perceived to have little or no nutritional value, or to products with nutritional value but which also have ingredients considered unhealthy when regularly eaten, or to those considered unhealthy to consume at all. The term was coined by Michael Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, in 1972.

Foods more likely to be considered junk food generally are those that are more convenient and easy to obtain in a ready-to-eat form, though being such does not automatically define the food as "junk food."

A. Always choose water. Also, when you are eating the junk food, make sure you are eating the serving size. And about fast food, try and pick things that are healthier. Avoid fries, but if you MUST, get the smallest size possible. If you are getting a burger, NO mayo or cheese, no double burgers, no bacon, etc. (like a jr whopper with no mayo is a good example). Get a side salad instead of the fries. If you are getting any kind of chicken, make sure it's grilled, not "crispy". Good luck!

How can I make healthy food taste as good or better than junk food using pre-bought snacks and recipes?
Q. I am just wondering how long it takes for me to like healthy better than junk food so my taste buds change. But any suggestions on my main problem would be helpful. Thank you.

A. Once you cut junk food out of your diet, you will notice an increase in your energy level and mood. Soon enough your taste buds will crave things like fruits and begetbles rather than fatty empty calorie foods like chips, chocolate, fast food, etc. The sooner you begin to cut out those foods and eat healthy, the sooner the urges for those kinds of bad foods will leave. Just slowley add maybe a serving or two of fruits and vegetables into your daily diet, then start to take out things like ice cream, chocolate and junk food like chips, and those processed snacks and fast food. Hope that helps!

Does anyone have some good tips for resisting the junk food that my husband brings home?
Q. We usually have healthy meals and mostly healthy food in the house. My husband does the shopping. I am not able to do it. He buys candy, chips, etc. too, and I have a hard time resisting it. If it's not around, I usually don't miss it. It won't work to get him not to buy it and bring it home. I need some good tips and tricks to help me with my resolve. Sometimes it just tastes too good and it is too easy to overdo the junk food. Thank you for any suggestions.

A. My dad and mom are ALWAYS bringing home doughnuts, ice cream, and cake! I tell them it's not ggood for them..but they don't care! I just tell myself, "I don't want to be a fat high schooler. And I wana be the "hot-girl-in-the-bikini" this summer. And I need to stop procrastinating, and lose this weight before it becomes worse! So I shall NOT give into my temptations." Also, try not to hang around in the kitchen too much, because you'll be tempted to eat. =]] hope this helps
