Do go on....

There's not much more to say not yet. Pighead treats his body with the love and respect it deserves. It is a finely tuned machine and is in great shape. Looking in mirrors is one of life's simple pleasures for Pighead.

Have some Twister ice pops in the freezer, but they're there two weeks and only one out of the pack has been eaten because we don't want them.

Aside from that, the only sweet foods we've got here is lots and lots of berries and some nectarines and bananas.

Nothing wrong with a lovely chunk of white bread slathered in salted butter. Haven't had that in a good six months.

Bread isn't junk food. It's just that when people want to lose weight, they're told to drop the carbs.

So because people have easier access nowadays to crap food and too much food, bread is suddenly the devil.

Alcohol ..
Never considered it junk food.. we'd have a reasonable selection in all the time.

I have loads of alcomohols in my house.

2 litre bottles of vodka, a shoulder of rum, a bottle of sangria and loads of miniature bottles of absinthe.

It's been sitting there the past ages so I wouldn't consider it junk or something I shouldn't buy as I generally wouldn't consume that much of it.

I wouldn't drink on a weekly basis, sometimes I could go months without drinking.

Inspired by the obesity thread.

I was just thinking about this recently as my family might be paying me a visit on Sunday and I literally do no have a bickie in the house. Not a one! I don't buy biscuits/chocolate/cakes anything like that when doing my weekly shop, because I would have all scoffed within minutes. I have a very sweet tooth. If it's not in the house, I can't eat it.

I make an exception when I decide I'm going baking but I tend to bake healthy shtuff a lot, that won't result in me developing type 2 diabetes.

Bread is another thing that you will not find in my house. If you're dropping over for a sammich, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

What about you guys? Do you have all the om nommy sugary/fatty goodness busting out of your cupboards?

When I was kid I used to fantasize about chocolate pools and giant cupcakes. I vowed to have all of the deliciousness in my house and now look at me. :pac:

People calling over can have a sandwich if they like, they will have to have it on either Coconut 'Bread' or an Oopsie Roll (egg white, baking powder, cream cheese).

Processed Bread can GTFO as far as I'm concerned. Low Carb bread you perfect yourself is much better.

Rice? Cauliflower grated.
Mash Potatos? A sh1tload Cauliflower and Broccoli mashed with real butter.

I don't eat bread in moderation so I don't buy it.

I tend not to buy stuff that I'm going to scoff all in one go.

White bread is junk food.

Oh thank god you guys showed up.

If I honestly ate white bread everyday, I'd have a belly on me. A big bloated belly on me.

White bread is definitely a treat for me and if it was in the house, I'd have the whole loaf gone in minutes.

osarusan · 03-07-2015 10:46AM

Loads - crisps, popcorn, chocolate, ice-cream, sweets.

For the kids' desserts, although I'll be pilfering from them late at night.

Booo. White bread is bad for you?
What next - Peanut butter is bad for you too?

03-07-2015 10:50AM

If you drop over to my house unexpectedly you can have some fruit and veg with your tea. If you're very lucky I might have some energy bars made up.

If you tell me you are coming, I will probably buy everything in the biscuit aisle. Probably.

Nope, natural peanut butter is good for you in reasonable amounts.

Full of protein so it is.

Peanut butter is definitely not bad for you, unless you're allergic to peanuts, but if you're buying it in the supermarket, check there's no added sugar

Ok, that is good.
So if I can no longer have peanut butter sandwiches with my favorite white bread - it must be acceptable to just eat the peanut butter directly from the jar - right! Scoup it out with my fingers.

Woo Hoo!

Depends on the type of peanut butter. They do one in the health food store that's just peanuts, no palm oil or added sugar or any of that stuff.

Have you ever had almond butter? Om nom nom!

jester77 · 03-07-2015 10:54AM

Junk to me is something that gets thrown out... so apart from the cucumber in the fridge, then no, nothing I would define as junk

_Kaiser_ · 03-07-2015 10:55AM

The biggest issue I'm seeing here is not "junk food" (Bread is junk food now??) but more that people don't have any self control I think

Nothing wrong with some "junk" as long as its in moderation. It's pretty much the same as alcohol.. nothing wrong with a few pints or a glass or two of wine. It's when people binge that the problems starts.

Streetwalker · 03-07-2015 10:56AM

Yes we have plenty of it. Life is too short not to be enjoyed and I work hard enough. Lidl and Aldi is great for all types of cheap treats for the family.

I wouldn't go that far. It doesn't do you much good, fair enough, but there's no way I'd put it in the same bracket as fizzy drinks, chicken nuggets, crisps etc.

Oh you're absolutely right! I don't buy junk food in the shopping because I will eat it. And that's entirely down to self control. If I really want a bar of chocolate or ice cream, I'll go have it but I won't keep stock of it in the house.

To me, life's too short to feel fat all the time, I've done that before, and I don't want to go there again.

I'd say the nuggets would be better for you.

Dyr · 03-07-2015 11:03AM

Nope, and f**k all bread in the house either

If visitors come around they can have a cup of tea and a kick up the arse to go with it, this isn't a soup kitchen I'm running

bnt · 03-07-2015 11:03AM

Do chocolate digestives count as junk food? No? Then no, I don't have any.

PS: "digestive" biscuits were originally intended to stop ladies from becoming, shall we say ... gassy. If you have a whalebone corset compressing your innards down to a 20 inch waist, does that make you fart more, or less? Enquiring minds want to know ...

I'm exactly the same!!

I couldn't have a stock of it in the house but that's not to say I wouldn't have the odd treat here and there.

Living off junk food, day in and day out, doesn't make me feel good about myself whatsoever.

I'll come back from holidays after stuffing my face and will want to get back into routine as soon as possible. I actually look forward to eating properly and exercising again.

Yeah that's true enough, big difference between a homemade scone a white pan in fairness

Nice to see Pighead back doing the rounds again in annyways

gerrybbadd · 03-07-2015 11:07AM

Yes.

There is always some kind of crisps. Yogurts too. And if it's counted, bottles of lager. Occasionally, chocolate, but have more of a savoury tooth than a sweet one

inforfun · 03-07-2015 11:08AM

I used to bring back certain "junkfood" from Holland that cant be bought here every time i went over.
Usually resulted in me eating myself nauseous for a few days till everything was gone again.

Stopped doing that.
If i dont buy it and as a result have nothing at home, i dont really want it.
As soon as i have it, it needs to be eaten. Cant stop

Nadser · 03-07-2015 11:09AM

In the good old days you'd be hard pressed to find junk food in my house. I used to buy biscuits or make a cake if expecting visitors. Now I'm really I'll though and have been put on a high fat lowmfibre diet. No fruit, vegetables, seeds or nuts. Now I have to buy healthy food if visitors ar calling! For me it's sweets biscuits, cake all the way. I was even told to have 'healthy' biscuits like digestives :-D

(I'm down to 7 stone,, the docs are trying to fatten me up)

Do you have junk food in your house?
