I am eating too much junk and processed food while watching movies and youtube videos. I want to stop as it affects my health. Any suggestions.
I am very careful about food. I try to choose only high-quality products, so I settled on https://srslylowcarb.com/products/the-low-carb-loaf bread with a low content of ulgevods. Perfect for light breakfasts.
Stop buying it.
It’s a lot easier to stop yourself from eating a bag of chips while watching YouTube if it’s not just sitting there in your pantry and you have to go to the store to buy it.
You just have to resist the urge to get the junk food during your grocery trips, not every hour you’re at home and bored.
I said this in another comment, get a water bottle. Our bodies use hunger knowing real food has water in it. But if the water isn’t working out for you, try switching the snacks to something that might be up your alley. Instead of a chip dip or cheese, try salsa. Someone suggested carrot or celery sticks, get a jar of peanut butter just to dip them in. Carrots and peanut butter is amazing. And to make meal time better, start cooking yourself. Watch a ton of cooking videos on YouTube and try making some easy recipes.
Get lazy enough not to get up and get it, then it’s easier to go longer without it and eventually (I think 1-2 weeks) you’ll probably not even feel hungry for snacks.
