For anyone sticking to a healthy diet, the temptation to succumb to the dark side and revert back to your 11-year-old self's favorite foods is ALWAYS present.

FitPerez reader Claire, a self-labeled compulsive snacker, is trying to stick to the straight and narrow path of healthy eating, but is having trouble resisting all of the junk food her boyfriend keeps buying!

Luckily, she knew where to go for great advice and wrote dietician Lisa DeFazio, asking:

Hi Lisa,

I love living with my boyfriend, but the man eats whatever he wants without gaining an ounce, no working out either. Before we moved in together I monitored what I ate by not purchasing junk at the grocery store. Now all his junk food is at our apartment and I have a very hard time resisting! We keep our food separate for the most part, but when he snacks on chips, ice cream, etc., I follow.

I already cook healthy meals for the both of us, but having sugary salty snacks at my fingertips is proving very hard for me and my lack of discipline and self control.

How do I gain better self control in this situation? Help!

According to Lisa D:

Hello Claire,

Good luck!

Mmm…meat. Meat good!

As good as it is, celebrity dietician and FitPerez correspondent Ashley Koff is here to tell you why it is even better for your body AND the environment to cut back on the amount you consume!

For starters, animal food products provide fats and proteins that may actually be more inflammatory in our system, while nutrients from vegetables often promote an anti-flammatory reaction in our body.

To find out more reasons why it's important to eat less meat, watch the video above and check out CWG's Meat Eater's Guide To Climate Change + Health.
