Somehow, I did gain control over my food-willpower. I absolutely love food, healthy or otherwise, and I basically eat whatever I want, more protein than anything else. I've taken to drinking large amounts of fruit juice to make up a caloric deficit if I haven't eaten much. I figure fruit juice is the healthiest source of empty calories.
By now I have read a lot of criticism of fruit juice, though. Basically it just contains a lot of sugar, not that much better than drinking soda drinks (what are they called? coke and lemonade?).
There also seem to be a lot of cases were people just eat insane amounts of fruits to still get their sugar shock. I'd be wary of the fruits.
I was at a client's once and their young daughter around 5 or 6 was having a fit in the late afternoon, wanted some candy and the mom said no that it will ruin her dinner. She kept pouting and whining... then said mom can I have some OJ? Of course, mom said yes. I didn't have the heart to tell her she just got played by her daughter who needed a sugar fix.
