cant quit junk food? exclusive hack to remove guilt
Some people, even though they know someone is a scumbag, can't help but fall in love with them because of their charming appearance, like a moth to a flame.
This principle is similar to junk food like spicy strips and potato chips.
Every pore in your body reminds you that they are 'toxic,' but whenever you have a holiday and binge-watch shows, you can't resist.
▼
▼
After breaking your diet, you fall into deep anxiety: Are people who eat junk food trash themselves? Did I fail at dieting again? Will I die young?
This scenario plays out almost every month.
Relax, instead of painfully abstaining, let yourself go and leave the 'toxins' for the dog to handle.
Although you can't completely eliminate them, you can really block most of the harm, allowing you to face this National Day without apologizing to yourself, standing tall and proud.
Next, you will see:
1. What makes junk food junk?
2. Methods to mitigate the harm of junk food
Your biggest fear about junk food is gaining weight.
So, if you keep eating junk food, how long will it take to gain weight?
A fitness coach abroad did an interesting experiment. Guess how long it took? Just one month!
He used to have six sexy abs, chiseled like a sculpture, making you want to lick the screen. After one month, they were gone, replaced by a greasy, jiggly belly.
▼
So, what exactly is the 'junk' in junk food?
▼
It's the high levels of fat, sugar, salt, and low nutritional value that lead to obesity, hypertension, and other chronic diseases.
In other words, if we modify junk food in these aspects, it can become healthier.
Now, the dog will start the lesson. Once you learn it well, your mom won't nag you anymore!
Instant noodles
For many people, instant noodles are still quite important.
Last month, during Typhoon Mangkhut, instant noodles might have been the only small comfort in the hungry, dark night.
And now with the downgrade in consumption, don't panic.
▼
To help everyone save money more happily, let's first see what exactly is harmful about instant noodles and then address it accordingly.
▼
▼
▼
I can understand everything else, but the third point in the harm reduction method: the oil packet is already so small, only using half is like not licking the yogurt lid, it's such a waste!
You think there's little oil? Not at all! Have you noticed the weight of the seasoning packets on the packaging? Take a certain brand's pickled mustard flavor as an example:
▼
The total weight of the seasoning packets is 42 grams. Now, a pack of instant noodles has 3-4 packets, so the oil packet's weight is estimated to be over 10 grams.
You should know that the dietary guidelines recommend 25-30 grams of oil per person per day. One packet of instant noodles' oil packet takes up half of that, plus the oil in the fried noodle cake... I think you get the point!
But using less oil packet makes it taste not as good!
You can be flexible, just use less water!

Spicy strips
Don't be shy, it's not embarrassing for guys to like eating spicy strips.
Popular idol Deng Lun also loves them. Last month, when he went back to his hometown to be a groomsman, he was photographed eating spicy strips.
▼
For just 5 yuan, you can enjoy a feast-like experience with spicy strips. What are their crimes?
▼
▼
▼
While foreigners are still crazily buying spicy strips on Amazon, you are already on the advanced eating method path for spicy strips.
▼
On National Day, a day of national celebration, don't you feel the flag in your heart is even more vibrant?
Potato chips
One day, the dog came home from work, and in the elevator, a mom with two kids was there. The kids were happily munching on potato chips, and she was completely indifferent!
Who gave her such courage? The kids are so young, how can she let them eat potato chips? The dog was so angry that he went downstairs, turned left, and bought a bag of potato chips to eat.
Yes, potato chips are something you usually hate, but when you see others eating them, a primal urge surges within you: 'I need to eat them within five minutes.'
So, besides being fattening, what other criticisms do they face?
▼
▼
Similar junk foods include fried chicken and other fried goods loved by the French, so you can use the same methods.
Hamburgers
Da Zhangwei, who loves hamburgers, once defended them: they have bread, meat, and vegetables, just like our regular meals!
It sounds reasonable, so why are they still criticized?
▼
▼
▼
Bad review! McDonald's and KFC meals are all paired like this, so why oppose it?
Because a hamburger alone is already very high in calories. Adding those sides makes it even easier to gain weight. Remember? Just one month can turn those charming abs into...
Alright, comfort yourself this way: with the downgrade in consumption, saving money is the key!
Sausages
When talking about instant noodles, the dog didn't recommend pairing them with sausages. Now, here's why!
Of course, if you really want to pair them with instant noodles, you can use the dog's method to double the harm reduction.
▼
▼
Hehe~ Finally, you can indulge in this operation without any burden: dip the sausage in egg liquid and breadcrumbs, fry it, and the kid next door will cry with envy.
Cream cake
Friends, from now on, don't order cream cakes for my birthday, just give me the money because
▼
▼
Similar to this are bubble tea and ice cream, which can be handled the same way.
Barbecue
After saying goodnight to a refined blind date on WeChat, you might run into him at a bustling barbecue stall, eating skewers and playing drinking games. What a beautiful coincidence.
All men love skewers, so you need to learn:
▼
▼
Of course, the most economical and safest option is to barbecue at home, which is also very romantic!
For example, buy an electric griddle for Korean-style barbecue. Using an electric grill, the temperature is lower, reducing the formation of harmful substances.
Also, be mindful not to grill the meat for too long.
Before grilling, you can marinate the meat with the following seasonings:
▼
This can hinder the formation of carcinogens and reduce the meat's absorption of smoke.
Carbonated drinks
Fatty soda, no need to say more, it's the king of junk. Some people even use it to clean toilets (not intentionally), but we have rescue methods.
▼
▼
▼
The methods taught today have all been practiced by the dog.
Hehe, you see, even though I'm a health enthusiast, I can't resist the temptation of junk food!
And have you noticed? Fruits and vegetables seem to be the universal key; they can rescue every kind of junk food!
Alright, since the troubles in life have piled up like a garbage bin, why not relax, eat some junk food, and let the garbage in your heart slowly digest away! (Don't believe it)
