New Delhi: While junk food tastes great, the impact on our health can be significant, especially for those on a weight loss journey. The good news? You don't have to give up junk food entirely to stay healthy. Fitness coach Raj Ganpath on his social media platform Instagram shared some surprising tips on how to indulge in junk food without wrecking your progress.

Make Sure It’s Worth It: Enjoy Junk Food to the Fullest

Raj Ganpath’s first piece of advice is simple –make your junk food experience truly enjoyable. According to the fitness expert, "We eat junk food to have fun. So, make sure it’s amazing. Don’t eat it just because it’s available or because you’re bored." He encourages people to savor every bite of their favorite junk food and ensure it’s something you truly enjoy. "If you're going to eat it, make sure it blows your mind," he said.

Never Eat Junk Food When You're Extremely Hungry

One of the biggest mistakes people make is eating junk food when they're starving. Raj explains that extreme hunger leads to overeating, which is never a good idea, especially with junk food. "When you're extremely hungry, you tend to consume large portions of junk food, and that’s not healthy. Instead, eat something healthy like fruits, vegetables, or protein to bring your hunger down to a manageable level," he advises. Afterward, you can indulge in your favorite treat without overdoing it.

Make Junk Food Hard to Access

The final tip is one that many people overlook – make junk food inconvenient to access. According to Raj, having large quantities of junk food readily available at home can lead to impulsive eating. "Order in small portions and finish it off. If you can’t finish it, toss the rest. It's cheaper than you think, and you can always order more later." 

As Raj puts it, "Let's be smart about it and make it worth it." So, go ahead – enjoy that pizza or burger, but remember to savor it the right way!
