Also, I do great on my diet during the day, but as soon as i get home from school, I just can't stop eating! how can i curb my appetite, and what snacks are best? I'm trying to stay away from junk foods and chips and stuff and eat healthy, but healthy food is soooo boring! ahh! help!!
Reply from Kayla, Age 15 - 03/24/07 - IP#: 68.0.229.xxx Exact same problem. I find that when I crave junk food I actually crave a certain flavor. Like when I crave fried chicken, I actually only want something salty, so I'll have crackers or soup instead. If you crave ice cream and cookies when you get home try gettting some soy crisps or having some yogurt. Good luck!
