Ready-made meals
Junk food lacks nutrition. It contains no minerals or vitamins. All they are full of is calories. They are made of simple carbs that, once consumed, make your insulin wildly spike. In just an hour or so you feel hungry again. You keep eating unhealthy snacks piling on pounds. Do not try to immediately exclude your usual favorite snacks. Drastic steps are always stressful. Try and decrease the amount of carbs and sugars in your diet step by step. Replace your ready-made foods with vegetables, fruits and nuts.

Role of minerals
Your menu should be balanced and varied. Eat more different products. There is no single miracle fruit or vegetable that would contain all necessary vitamins and minerals. One of the minerals you cannot stay slim without is magnesium. This mineral is responsible for over 300 functions performed by the body. Eat more dark leafy greens, soybeans, and bananas.
