2. JUNK FOOD
• Junk food is defined as processed food with little nutritional value.
It is often high in salt, sugar and fat.
• It includes convenience foods as well as fast foods. Junk food is a
broad umbrella. If you are giving up junk food you will need to resist
the lure of potato chips, lollies, chocolate, biscuits and baked goods.
• These foods are high in calories, without the benefit of providing
you with minerals, vitamins or fibre that are needed to maintain a
healthy mind and body.
• However, these items are made with the intention of being
appealing or enjoyable so you are chemically programmed to crave
more. The level of crunch, flavour and even the way they feel in
your mouth are all researched with the intention of
encouraging you to consume more
