Many people know that chemical-laden, trans-fats stuffed, starchy, grainy and sugary junk foods are not good for you. However, the problem for many is how to kick the habit of overdoing it with these junk foods. Here is my success story, revealing my technique on how to kick the habits and stay slim, healthier and feel that much more vitalized. I will take sugar products as an example but the method in principle could be used on kicking the habit with any junk food, or even smoking for that matter

Some might be able to cut sugar out of their diet straight away, but I'm sure there are many others who would not be able to give it up so easily.

...So here's what you could do

Give up sugar on a slow and steady gradient

-This is how I have given up some of my eating habits. It is quite simple and has worked really well for me, without feeling too uneasy along the way.

First give up something you feel comfortable with. No matter how small or insignificant it is. Just do it. Then, after a length of time, you haven't eaten this food, and no longer want to, go on to the next step.

Then, on step two, give up something else you feel comfortable with...and apply the same principles as step one.

Then give up something else in the same way and so on...

There are two crucial principles that must be applied when it comes to giving up sugar on a slow and steady gradient (or giving up any dietary habit for that matter).

In order for it to work, chose time lengths between each step that are comfortable for you. For example if it takes as long as a couple of years to successfully give up sugar completely, because each step took so long then so be it...and NEVER, NEVER, go back into eating any of the smallest things you have given up along the way. The same of course applies after having kicked the habit completely. Just the slightest fanciful morsel eaten will open the floodgates for your habit to return fully and no doubt become the ruin of you!

Turn to fruits instead

There are plenty of highly nutritious low-glycemic index fruits, which could be eaten as a compromise for the sweet stuff.

Low glycemic index fruits include: Apples, cherries, plumbs, grapefruit, and bananas...

Eat more proteins and fats, instead of the starchy/grainy carbohydrate foods on the market with little nutrition value

Some of the starchy/grainy foods are advertised as low-calorie, but it also follows they have a low nutrition value. -Don't be fooled by the advertising on the label.

Finally, eat at regular intervals so that your insulin levels are more consistent.
