Why?
> sugar.
By way of junk food (sweetened drinks are junk, boxed cookies are junk). Added sugar is one way to facilitate consumption of excess calories, the other is flour + added fat + salt, absent fiber and protein. (and also deep frying).
- WalterBright 2y ago> Why? Because I run a lot, and was steadily gaining weight. Stopping eating all desserts, pies, boxes of cookies, candy, soda, etc. resulted in slowly losing weight. I still eat high fat foods, chips, cheese, etc.
- slothtrop 2y agoHigh fat foods aren't necessarily junk foods, and presumably your intake of chips is moderate/low. They are not satiating and calorie dense, but of course drinks are the worst for that, they offer nearly 0 satiety for the price of calories. Cheese is relatively satiating, milk protein and animal proteins are in general.
