Dear Roopashree,
I love junk food and desserts.
I tend to binge eat.
Is it okay to eat them as long as one eats healthy as well?
Please don’t tell me to stop eating snacks and sweets; I can’t survive without them.
I will be very unhappy.
In anticipation,
Ranu Attavar

The key is not to ‘give in’ or ‘give up’ your cravings.
Healthy food can also be snacky and tickle your taste buds, provided we spend time learning about these options.
As you seem to be a food lover, you should explore more in the area of culinary arts. You will realise that our body agrees with fresh food, more than junk food. Junk food, as the name suggests, is processed and packaged food.
If you want to go for junk food once in a while, you should compensate with the next meal that helps detox its ill effects. For example: A pizza afternoon can be followed by light salad, home-made, no mayo, at night.
Hope you find your healthy balance soon :).
