5 ways to reduce your junk food intake!

Getting into a healthy lifestyle is a hard thing to do.  Sometimes you just have to ease into it.  One of the things you definately need to do to get that awesome body is reduce your intake of junk food.  You know what I'm talking about--we're almost to Halowee so you probably have bags of it that of course you haven't broken into yet...just tempting you.  So, let's look at a few ways to look into reducing your intake of foods you shouldn't be eating!

1. Keep it out of the house: Like I said with Haloween almost here you may have some bags of this in your house--if you do keep it out of sight in an inconvienent place.  If you have a choice, keep that stuff out of your house or you WILL eat it.
2. Replace your bad food cravings with good ones:  It's OK to snack sometimes but snack on good stuff.  Baby carrots or celery with a LITTLE natural peanut butter for taste are great ways to get your snack on.
3. Be your own event coordinator: sometimes when I fall to the nasty snack monster is when I have nothing better to do.  If I'm busy with yard work or stuff around the house or visting friends, I think about food a lot less.
4. Plan your food: I've talked about this before but when you plan what you'll eat you're less likely to eat a whole meal of junk. 
5. Moderation in moderation:  allow yourself some of those sweets once in a while.  Try to plan this but if you have something little once in a while it's not going to cause you a coranary.  There's good benefits to a cheat meal--If you don't let yourself have something once in a while it'll drive you crazy and you'll end up binging and regretting it. 

This is a process to get here, most people can't go just cold turkey, take little steps everyday and you'll be eating great before you know it.
