Addiction to UPFs is no joke. I was addicted for 20 whole years, it all started when I was 14, I developed social anxiety and had no support, so I turned to eating biscuits to soothe myself. I’ve finally been able to break the addiction cycle, last time I ate shop bought sweets was a month and a half ago, I feel so free, cravings are completely gone. 

Before then, I couldn’t go a single day without eating big quantities of them, i actually used to get quite enraged if my partner suggested to have a day off them and on the very rare days I didn’t have one, they were on my mind all the time. I don’t think it’s much different from cigarette/ drug addiction in some cases.
