Week 10 guideline – Identify junk food and plan its consumption
Step 1 – Identify junk food.
a) Obvious junk food which we can clearly identify as unhealthy. E.g. fast food chains selling pizza and burgers, packaged chips, colas, chocolates, ice-creams, pastries, donuts, instant noodles, ketchup, mayonnaise, etc.
b) Camouflaged junk food which pretends to be healthy but isn’t. E.g. breakfast cereals, juices (tetrapack, powders, etc), biscuits (even the fibre rich ones), dark chocolate, chocolate syrups, malted powders for milk, cupcakes and muffins, ready to cook food, frozen food, energy drinks, baked or multi-grain chips, jams and spreads, instant noodles (wheat, multi-grain, vegetables, oats), flavoured yoghurt and milks, etc.
Step 2 – Make a strategy for consumption
- Set a monthly limit. Ideally once a month. But if you are consuming a lot of junk food, plan to reduce by 50% each consecutive month. For example, if you eat junk food 8 times a month, then in month one, reduce it to 4, in month two, reduce it to 2 and in month three, reduce to 1.
- As parents, never give junk food as a reward or as means of celebration (especially festivals) or to show your love. This leaves long lasting impact on the impressionable minds.
- Always remember that your favourite superstars or cricketers who endorse these junk foods never have it themselves and only do it for money.
Why you must not have junk food?
- It hampers growth – physical and mental and ensures you never achieve your full potential.
- It provides entry to all kinds of NCDs in your life – diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, PCOD, cancer and the likes.
- It leads to irritability, mood swings, loss of concentration along with other mental health issues.
- And worse, it is addictive. The more junk food you eat, the more junk food you will feel like eating. It’s a vicious cycle.
