To some people, this may look like a fruitless exercise, a seemingly impossible task. But impossible as removing junks from our dietary plan may look, it is possible. Of course, it may be a difficult task.
However, it is important to know that we all consume ‘calorie-ridden’ food substances one way or the other and at different proportions, hence the reason for the differences in our weight.
Below are some tips that can help to get the junks out of our diet.

It has to be a gradual process that can only happen over time. A dedicated weekly change in diet from junks to vegetables could be an excellent starting point.

Cut the addiction
