The antidote is 'mindful eating'. And that not only focusing on the meal/food at the time of eating, but also the feeling afterwards, how it makes us feel half an hour, an hour, or two after eating. And choosing the better option next time. This way I have learned to avoid most of those traps on the supermarket shelves and turned a blind eye to the countless new products that are thrown on the market, including the overwhelming variety of cereals. I have 2 or three I keep buying, one of them is plain oats, making my own delish porridge at home, adding sunflower seeds, a bit of honey, pinch of salt, raisins and pouring this cooked mix in milk into a bowl with a handful of frozen cherries. The hot porridge will be cooled faster and cherries weren't exposed to excess heat for too long to lose nutrients. Coffee with milk only comes with it and I have a weekend breakfast like no other.
Tuna pasta bake sauce with adding pasta, tuna and cheese on top? Not enough for me. I also add steamed broccoli and cherry tomatoes mid way into baking, making it a nutritious superbomb what would otherwise be just junk. Sometimes I swap the tuna with chicken breasts. I get a praise for it every time at the family table. No pudding needed, the meal was satisfying enough, combining all those flavours and textures we love.
People need to take responsibility for their stomachs and bodies - eventually translating into happier minds, too. A lot of anxiety and feeling low could be fixed with proper eating.
