In reply to christine. Interesting! And yes, if they aren't overly used, "shock tactics" can work, as sometimes people have a hard time realizing the long-term consequences of what they do.

Hmm interesting advert! Of course Any food can be addictive.
We had a program here called ‘Honey you’re killing the kids’ in which a child-nutritionalist would interview a family and then analyse the way the kids were fed, exercised and treated regarding self esteem. The parents were often unaware that their child was affected at all by their own choices. It was quite hard hitting at times .What really irritated me was the ‘predicted effects ‘ photographs which were ‘aged’ and the ‘predicted life expectancy’. I thought it naive that they believed that ‘that’ was the exact way things would turn out BUT that was the element which persuaded the parents to change it all. At the end of the program they would re-predict the appearance,weight and life expectancy in another ‘aged’ photograph.If the parents had changed their actions, the picture was more favourable,if not, it was not (and the parents seemed genuinely distressed). Sometimes shock tactics really do work .

It’s not that you SHOULD eat junk food. It’s that it’s BETTER to eat some junk food every now and again if you’re “addicted” already to keep from falling back into old ways.

Personally I’m glad I caught myself early, now I have an iron will and I hate junk food and soda. Although I am a very, very unusual case. 😉

Junk food is so good to eat. The things that do not taste good for you taste too good to let go. I do believe that you should eat small quantities of junk food. Exercise and eating healthy is a good idea for long life.

In reply to smcgamer. Do you think that the weight suddenly appears out of nowhere? Don't be misled by daily fluctuations and the inaccuracy of your scale.

In reply to evilcyber. No. Eating more calories in a day than your "requirement" will not make you gain weight. Only after a while, but not immediately.

In reply to Moon.

Me of course! 😉

Seriously, if you managed to eat 3000 kcal worth of lettuce per day and only need 2500, you would even gain weight from lettuce.
