I’m driving myself nuts eating like a little piggy every weekend even though I eat really healthy during the week. I even like my healthy food so it isn’t like I’m depriving myself. But I meal prep for M-F and don’t have it in me to cook on weekends so I eat tons of junk. So, does anyone else do this? Did anyone else get over this? Do you have some other food woes you want to get off your chest? Or some other random thing you would like to discuss?
I used to have this issue, but I solved it with meditation (sort of). This does sound extreme, but it worked for me - even though I was going to the gym every single weekday, I still felt like shit most of the time because of the junk food eating habit I had on the weekends (like you) and I decided enough was enough. Whenever I felt the urge to eat junkfood, I simply meditated. The first few weekends it was really fucking weird… in my mind I was thinking “I’m hungry, why am the fuck am I meditating…”, but after a while my desire to eat junkfood really just plummeted, aswell as an overall increase in energy allowing me to cook something better.
This was honestly really extreme and I do not know how I actually pulled it off without ‘relapsing’. It is not necessary, and I only recommend it if it’s a serious issue for you, which it was for me (and judging by your explanation, it is not a big issue).
Another method I used is what TMPM calls snack city (youtube video) where it’s healthy junkfood. So muffin bites, fries, chicken, etc, all pre-cooked on a single day, then stored in a freezer with easy heatups via a microwave, oven or airfryer, with low-calorie and high-protein focus.
tl;dr I meditated like crazy and stalled my junk food addiction. Easy way to replace junkfood is with ‘healthy’ junkfood -> video - easy and fast meal prep that will last you more than a day. Well worth it.
I don’t think the meditation is going to work for me but I really need to figure out some healthy junk food like you suggested! I have a bunch of premade quesadillas in the freezer but with all that cheese they’re not too healthy, and I cook them with butter so that isn’t great either.
Yeah I kind of went crazy with it, but it solved my issues so - it is what it is lol. Josh’s youtube channel has a TON of meal prep recipes and snack recipes that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Hope this helps.
