Notes:• I really see no problem with junk food. Whatever we eat - it should be

limited. Not less not more(well, it wouldn't matter we had junk food in little quantities or none at all).

• And with the limited eating, we need to have some physical work so as to burn calories, improve blood circulation/oxygenation and physical fitness.

• Personally, I cannot have any food in excess amounts, even if it's something I love, I have it in little quantities frequently.. because my tummy gets upset with me if I go against it. :( ...plus, I get bored and satisfied way too easily. And, I have been used to junk food(not JUNK exactly, but snacks rather) since I was small.. I am always hungry ~ fast metabolism I guess See, people like me cannot help but have snacks and junk food is a real treat to taste buds. :D
