i'm addicted to chips, especially cheetos, help me...

i'm trying to quit those for so long but soon i fall again back to the bad habit. And i can never eat just a few, it has to be the whole pack.
The thing is i'm generally eating healthy only to spoil my diet with these shit. I eat about 2-3-4 packages a week though i cannot be very specific. what to do? i manage to go without for sometime but then i fell back at it. I've managed to quit smoking almost a year now, but cheetos i find it even harder!!!! isn't it crazy..

I'm the same with ramen noodles. Trying to quit.

Drink water while eating Cheetos you mean? But why?
abe182 · 46-50, M
@elafina no don't drink anything because drinking will make you eat more.

@abe182 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Interesting...

I love cheetos too. I can eat an entire bag in one setting. I just don't purchase them too often when I go shopping, otherwise they set in the cabinet and call my name wanting me to eat them.

@Shannon27 they call me straight from the store...and there's a mini market just at the corner of the street i live in .. 😭

@elafina OMG you are in trouble with cheetos then.
elafina · 36-40, F
@Shannon27 yes, see? -.- i'll have to find something! maybe move at a place where there'll be no mini or super market close!

If you want to quit that stuff badly enough you will. I’m a big eater and would easily eat a whole pizza, a pack of cookies and so on.. I’m being faced now with the requirement to lose weight or go on medication for my cholesterol. Guess what? I can’t afford more pills, but I can afford to quit eating big cold turkey.

Heres a link to good website I’ve been looking at. It’s an article on picking healthy snacks. There are other great articles including “intermittent fasting” on the site as well that I highly recommend you read:

They are designed to be addictive with their salt and fat and lack of long-term satisfaction. Can you stop buying them? Are there other things you like to eat that would be better for you? Snacking in general is bad because it makes our insulin always high even between meals.
Offthetop · 51-55, M
Sounds like a workable plan. Carbs are the hardest thing to give up because of that blood sugar / insulin roller coaster. I fast for periods up to 24 hours and there’s o way I could’ve gotten to that point if I still had carb cravings. If you were able to quit smoking you can do this too.@elafina

@Offthetop so you've quit all carbs? May i ask what do you include in your diet?
As i try to shift to a more vegetarian diet, it is difficult to quit carbs too..that for the moment.
Offthetop · 51-55, M
@elafina not quite all carbs but all junky carbs. It’s easy to just skip the starch part of a meal. It’s hard to be vegetarian and low carb. A lot of my meals are slaw with homemade vinaigrette and sone sort of meat on top. Sometimes I do a vegan option using pumpkin seeds and walnuts. The big key for me is eating less often and going low carb was a step along the way for that.

Why not eat larger meals then? Large meals of healthy food so you'll be too full for anything else
