Not to our surprise, the eats that appear to be the most problematic are junk foods – you know, those we reach for during our “cheat meal.” Containing ingredients like refined sugar, gluten, sodium, and saturated fats, you can see how food addiction can quickly become a real problem, leading to health issues like BED (binge eating disorder), obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis and depression, among others.

Meanwhile, experts say approach your intense craving in the same manner you’d approach any addiction:

  1. Don’t go cold turkey – after all, everyone must eat!

  3. Eat only when hungry.
  4. Say NO to fast food!
  5. Exercise regularly.
  6. Take charge of your pantry, keeping in mind that every item you purchase will be consumed by end of the month.
