I am eating too much junk and processed food while watching movies and youtube videos. I want to stop as it affects my health. Any suggestions.

    I was able to curb my nervous/bored eating and drinking with bitters and sours. Instead of reaching for food I now reach for some tea (with just lemon), coffee (decaf black), a glass of water with lemon, or just suck on a lime wedge. The lime thing is mostly to curb alcohol cravings.

    PS: My wife’s answer was Kombucha. Everybody is different.

      Spice also works. I find eating/drinking something with an intense flavor profile ups the satiety so you eat less without feeling like you ate less.
