Eating junk food when you are bored is the NUMBER 1 way to gain weight. Cause you probably eat it late at night which is even worse. Get a hobby model cars, read (I know boring), watch movies, chat with someone interesting online. Time goes by fast that way.

You're going to hate me, but eat less and exercise more.\n\nI mean, find something you like to do and promise yourself you will do it at least x times a week. (I promise myself I'll run at least 3 times a week, take at least two long walks and do yoga 4 times). \n\nAs for food, I am a huge snacker, so my big thing is to write things down when I eat them. It keeps me remembering that I'm eating (yes, I know that sounds lame, but otherwise, I tend to stand in the kitchen and stuff things in my mouth while I'm reading the mail or whatever.) I count calories, but I think I'd do that in my sleep at this point.\n\nMy last suggestions is to find something you adore and make sure you make room in your "diet" for it. I adore really great dark chocolate. I end each evening with a small piece of wonderful chocolate (about 75 calories). It makes me feel good to know that it is waiting for me. It also makes it easier to say "no" to the rest of the temptations in the day.\n\nOK - one more "final" suggestion. I try to remind myself that this is not a case of deprivation, but rather that I'm taking care of myself. Pampering my body with good food and good exercise. I try to work in things like doing my nails and taking bubble baths, but that seems to fall off the page often.\n\nBefore I risk sounding like I have this all figured out, let me admit that I would love to drop 5 - 10 pounds, but... I'm energetic, my husband thinks I look great (yes, he's a guy, but still...) and my doctor tells me that I'm at an ok weight (although she'd love it if I were a bit lighter, too.)\n\nHope this helps.

Well you can type smart pill into your browser. you will get many leads. I have a similar problem. my problem was  almost gone after spending 3 months in jail a couple years ago. my eating habits were controlled, I exercised a lot. a few months after jail I began to have the problem again. I gained weight again and stopped exercising. Controlled eating habits and exercise are the key with almost any problem. A doctor might not tell you that because if the truth was out then so would be the doctor and his paycheck. I sometimes take a strong vitamin. it helps but the real help would be staying off the junk food. Everyone including me looks for a remedy but the cure is what you eat and exercising. If you put crap into your body then it will feel like crap and think like crap. \nHow ironic, I can't take my own advice.

Here is the surefire way:  Don't buy junk food.  \n\nGo straight from the gym to the grocery store and buy your food.  You will have just worked out and you'll be feeling good and healthy.  You won't even want junk food in this state, so you can stick to what's healthy.  If it's not around, you can't eat it. \n\nEnjoy.

People are funny animals. Tell us we can't have something and immediately, that's what we want more than anything else in the world. \nThe trouble with too many diets is they mostly deny us things. You can't eat this, you can't have that, you can't enjoy the other. But really, unless you are allergic to something, there is no reason why you have to completely exclude things from your diet. Including junk food. \nThe secret is to give yourself little treats from time to time. Then you won't want to chuck the whole diet. Just don't eat the amounts of junk food you used to. \nDo you have any idea how long it can take to nibble your way through ten potato chips? Especially when you really savour the crunch and take the time to let the salty taste linger on your tongue, instead of just gorfing them down. \nChocolate bars are great. You can cut your favorite in quarters, then slice one quarter into thin little wafers and freeze the other three quarters to have on three other occasions. Again, really taste that little wafer of chocolate. Let it melt in your mouth and dribble down your throat, carrying its little load of sweetness all the way. \nThat's the way you're going to think about junk food from now on. Not as 'junk' to be consumed mindlessly, by the boxful, but as 'treat' food, something very special, that you have on special occasions and enjoy fully. After all, you wouldn't have champagne every night, would you?\nAnyway, that's my secret for sticking to a diet, and I hope it works for you.

Lots of things affect the amount we eat, and what we crave.\nMoving out of your home can cause stress, and we often eat foods that are high in empty calories to try to feel better.  Starches, fats, and sugars all help increase the endorphin levels in the brain (those are the chemicals that can create a temporary feeling of satisfaction and well-being).\nHormonal changes are common in teens, so it could be your hormones are just a little more pronounced right now - add the stress of moving out and you have a powerful physical combination.\nWinter weather can also make us feel like eating - kind of like squirrels gathering food to store up for the long winter ahead.\nPlus, believe it or not, junk food contains a lot of chemicals and ingredients that can become addictive.  The body craves the fats, carbs, and salt you find in junk food and makes us want to eat more each time.  Salt especially is really like a drug, especially in young women.\nAnd if you couldn't just snack anytime you wanted, and now all of a sudden you can, its like releasing the pressure on a spray can -you can go overboard with the new freedom.\n\nBut being on your own means you have to take complete control of your life and your eating.  \n\nA teen, especially one that is underweight, needs the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients (that means the stuff found in food that isn't a vitamin or mineral) to grow strong and put on the proper weight.\nJunk food can cause acne, bad hair, brittle nails, and irregular periods. Not to mention the wrong kind of fat in the wrong places that is just impossible to get rid of later (trust me, I know all about it).\nSo my advice - find something healthier to eat when you get those cravings for junk.  Popcorn (without the butter) is a better choice (though not the best as there are no nutrients in it).  \nOr a big juicy apple - has a lot of good things in it, and believe it or not will satisfy your cravings to snack.  Add a few pieces of cheese and you have a great balanced snack you can eat whenever you feel like it - even late at night.\n\nYour body may be able to burn some of the excess calories now, but that won't last and you'll find yourself putting on unhealthy fat and running out of energy.  This is a time in your life to party and enjoy life - but keep this up and you'll fall asleep on the couch while your friends are having a good time.\nTake control, hon.\nGood luck.

You need to lessen your portions. You are on a road to an unhealthy disaster if you keep this up. Stay active and eat less.

Remove ALL junk food from your house. Make a deal with yourself that if you are going to get up, get dressed, get in the car, go to the store, walk EVERY aisle, you can have some junk food. I guarantee you are not going to want to do all that for a cupcake. ;-)\n\nAt work, it's harder because it's considered "rude" to not indulge. The way I handle it is to take ONE piece of something and eat it throughout the day.\n\nIt also helps if you keep a case of water under your desk and drink at least one bottle of water before indulging. It's almost impossible to pig out that way.\n\nAlso, use your lunch break to go for a walk around the building or run errands. You can't pick up junk just sitting around in the kitchen if you are not in the office.\n\nGood luck

Quit eating junk food. Start eating healthy. If that doesn't work...... Then start working out. Or eat healthy and work out...... That'd probley work good.

Never skip breakfast. You just have fruit juice (freshly squeezed ! not in packets) and eat more organic food. You may excersize and burn off fats, but if you still eat junk food, then it eaquals to nothing. Eat more organic vegetables and try your best not to eat junk food, you can eat some but maybe just once a month. Put less oil in your food and try eating raw salad without the sauces. Control your diet and read up on health nutrients. Don't eat fruits or drink water straight after meals as it will make digestion uneasy. eat fruits maybe 1hrs after meal or eat it before your meal (but not straight before) . Snacks could be vegetables instead of chips. You can drink clear vegetable soup, don't drink fatty or cream soups that ofter. try to brew your own soup and not from cans. Look at every ingredients. it should not have vegetable shortening, this is bad. make sure what you eat is organic and natural, not full of chemicals and fats. Try not to drink low-fat milk as it is WORSE tahn natural ones, really. if you want a healthy and fit life, try not to eat all you want and drink all you want. Search for ForMor and check it out. the supplements there are really good especially the vitamin C. My mom tried it and now she lost about 5kg (not that she wanted to be thin, it comes naturally when you take care of your body). Think of being healthy instead of being slim. thinking of your health will automaticly make you slim !!

chromium picolinate.. naturally boost metabolism..it's in One a day weight smart.. or you can buy it seperately. I quit 5 months ago after smoking for 10 years. I read ALOT of books to keep my mind off of it. It was hard.. But now every time i smell it i want to vomit and i actually turn to my fiance almost every time and say 'Gosh I am SO glad i don't smoke anymore!!" Eat alot of whole grains and take chromium.. look at labels.. watch your fat and sugar intake. More than 30 grams of fat a day is too much if you are trying to lose weight or keep it off. MY biggest problem was turning from the cigs to CHOCOLATE and other sweets. It is proven that chocolate is just as addicting as heroin!! SO TRY not to sub the cigs with other bad addictions..lol. As for how long the first part was i'd say it was the first month that was the worst for me. The physical withdrawl part anyway. After that it's all in your head. GOOD LUCK!!

I know, every time I turn on the TV or read an article it's about how something that was once good for you can now cause cancer, right? I think most of it is exaggerated though. I believe if you eat in moderation and stay away from eating out too much, you're gonna be just fine. And even if you don't, you're gonna be just fine. Just remember , food is fuel and whatever we eat should make our bodies feel good. Always remember what might taste really good, is not always good for us. But I think you already know this.

Stop eating so much. Eat a more balanced diet, including frutits and veggies along with meats and complex carbs. Also start exercising, try joing a gym. If you can't afford that, just do the simple stuff like sit-ups, crunches, and running. You have to be disciplined though, and don't let yourself slip that much. I'm sure you will see improvement in a few weeks.

A lot of exercise and healthy eating. Just try to improve what you eating. Like stay away from stuff you shouldnt eat. We shouldnt eat fast food, chips, french fries, pizza. Although that all of that stuff is good and is ok to eat every once in a while it shouldnt be your whole diet. Your diet should consist of more vegetables, whole grains, protien, fiber, etc.

...its an addiction, so you may find 'replacing' it, or substitution will work better as a 1st step.\n\nI did it with chocolate. Didn't think i could stop eating it - then just made the decision that if I felt like a bar, id have a bit of fruit instead...\n\nIt is now a running joke amongst all my family and friends that I eat soo much fruit. Lets just say I get my 5 a day. :)\n\nIts healthier and I am slowly weening off having so much of the fruit too.\n\nSooo... if you want, try the fruit (grapes are best cause they are bite-size. Get a pang, eat a grape. lol\n\nOr  there is chewing gum... you choose.

You should gradually cut it out. Take small steps to get rid of junk food. Eventually you should attempt to cut it out altogether. If you have a good enough metabolism you can get away with it, but to be on the safe side make gradual decreases and you won't have a total spasm. If you can gradually decrease your junk intake by the time you cut it you probably won't notice. As far as the caffeine goes, try drinking tea.

Interesting question.  Drink lots of ensure, and other meal replacement drinks.  Eat at lots of fast food restraunts, order big macs or whoppers, and don't exercise.  Boy, did I ever just give you a recipe for a heart attack or stroke or what?  LOL, good luck and eat an extra burger for me.                 ;~)
