Fatty Junk Food Cravings - How to Stop?

Just indulge once or twice a week. Won't make a diff. If you eat healthy 18 or 19 out of 21 meals in a week you're doing great.

Oh yeah? What else did you do with it?

I try and stick to a healthy diet (a lot of rice, lentils, eggs, lean protein, veggies, fruits, etc). Every few days, especially after hard workouts, I get really strong cravings for red meat, fatty meat, and high-fat junk food. The other day, I ate a meatball sub and was literally moaning in pleasure while I was eating it. I spend a lot of time looking at pictures of fatty junk food when I get these cravings.

I've tried upping my healthy fats (avocados, nuts, etc) and lean protein but it just doesn't help. Is there something in fatty food--especially meat--that my body could be deficient in? How do I make this stop?

The exact same things happen to me, except that instead of every few days it's once or twice a year... and instead of junk food (which I eat all the time) I get this tremendous compulsion to eat a salad.

Do you burn more calories than you eat?

Don't bother, you're weak. I can go three days without food and I was clinically shown to have an attention span and impulse control in the bottom percentile of my fellows. I am unemployed, have a sex, food, and tv addiction and yet can still fast because I love to run. You aren't a winner-bigly loser, sorry.

I could go for a meatball sub right now

Replace it with another vice. I would suggest pegging.

sounds like your body is craving something it needs. have the meatball sub and enjoy it. sounds like youre eating very healthy overall. live a little man dont stress it so much.a little indulgence is a good thing from yime to time.

Try to carry healthy food with yourself instead. Control yourself too. It's that simple.

The problem is that eating healthy food doesn't get rid of the cravings. I could literally eat 1000 extra calories of healthy food and still have the cravings. But if I ate 400-500 calories of unhealthy food, I'd be fine and I'd move on.

Like I said earlier, it only happens when I'm training hard. What's with the pros who talk about indulging in a slice of pizza after a marathon? How are they able to survive?

When I eat a donut, I take a bite and chew it up, but instead of swallowing, I spit it out. All the taste, none of the calories.

Go Keto?
