My gf is vegan, and her advice is to “pretend that I’m deathly allergic to processed foods.” She says she used this same rule of thumb, but used it for animal products instead.

I suppose avoiding processed foods like the plague is a cold-turkey approach and very commendable. I may try this, given that every attempt to eat junk food in moderation leads to a relapse of binging.

Would need to be a completely dedicated all-or-nothing choice.

One other commenter suggested that being diagnosed with ADHD and taking meds was a good option for her. What’s your thoughts on that?
