A lot has been said about the adverse effects of junk food; with consumption on the rise and junk food becoming a convenient food choice across the globe, there are many reasons why cutting back on those calorie-laden foods is a good idea. Sure, it's a quick, and sometimes cheap, way to quell your hunger pangs, but the joy of regularly indulging in junk foods comes at the cost of your health. The good news is, most people are aware of this and are taking baby steps towards staying away from junk for good. If you are looking to lose weight, you will have to limit or stop binging on junk food as it only adds up to the calories, saturated fat and sodium with zero nutritional value. It is understood that giving up on junk food wouldn't be easy, considering it is a tempting food choice. So, you should follow a gradual process of quitting junk food rather than doing it abruptly.According to Dr. Sunali Sharma, Dietitian & Nutritionist, Amandeep Hospital, abruptly quitting junk food might initially have some negative impacts like irritability and headaches and you might even feel a dip in your energy levels as all the energy is pushed towards removing the toxins from your body. In spite of all these negative impacts, there would be a big positive change and that would be a considerable dip in your body weight. This dip in body weight reverses the risk of any coronary disease, reduced cholesterol, and restoration of blood sugar levels bringing the risk of type 2 diabetes down.
