[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2398686, member: 532959"] It can definitely be a difficult transition, especially if you're going straight into the whole-foods style. And not that I want to encourage junk-foodism, but sometimes it can be useful to release the valve and have something a little off-piste. There are a lot of substitutes out there, and they are getting better. You might find that all that's needed is something really oily and salty to sate the odd craving or to just 'act out'. Cravings are gonna happen. We are hard-wired for life experiences to be remembered and to drive us towards repetition. The more positive emotions that are tied to these actions (Xmas dinner; Friday-night Fish 'n' chips. The after-pub kebab), added to the length of time we've been doing them, the more deeply these habitual patterns can run. But unless you are really deficient then they are but ghosts from the past. And just like ghosts, they disappear when you shine the light on them. The more you ignore them, the less hold they can have over you :) From supermarkets, canned/jarred beans/legumes are always a good option. Add some ready-made salad and a hunk of bread. For overnight oats, you just need a container with a lid. Add the oats and water. Then in the morning add fruit, berries, seeds, chia etc. And raisins are a life-saver. Anyway, heres some 'on-the-road' eating inspiration for ya (circa 5-minute mark). Running across the USA and just gettin' it done: [MEDIA=youtube]lTrb0yUVVN8[/MEDIA] Anyway, thanks for the inspiration :) [/QUOTE]
