Yes, it’s as easy as identifying who your enemy is. Picture this: You’re going strong with your resolution to give up fatty food, but then you spot the burger that weakens you. You bite into the meaty patty, melted cheese, and buttered bun; and it all goes downhill from there.  Trigger food is the food which causes you to eat excessively. Identifying trigger food can help you in stopping its intake. Once identified, stay away from it – this will make it easier for you to avoid the junk.

Practice the five-ingredient rule

Ingredients
