![5 Tips for Avoiding Addicting Food from Proverbs](https://909c0d3efc63d4674cb4-62e8289cb2b35d2d929ba8c1b8f1d0d0.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/3171-61a8543370de9.jpg)
that do I not; but what I hate, that do I." Romans 7:15
Why is that?
"...the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41
Adam and Eve had the perfect, healthy environment with the freshest air, cleanest water, and highest quality organic produce, even what appeared to be a daily walk with the Lord until Satan came along and tempted Eve using food. Nothing has changed.
Not only did the human race decline spiritually, but our health began its decline as well.

In the Bible, delicacies and dainties are only referenced with the ungodly rulers and evildoers.
However, God gives us guidance in the matter of these tasty, savory, delectable foods that provide us with pleasure while eating them in Proverbs 23.
- Diligently consider the foods that are set before you. What are they made of? How will they affect me physically, mentally, and emotionally?
- Set boundaries before you are tempted above that ye are able. (knife to the throat) Plan how you will politely decline the temptation. Take a substitute, so you are eating something.
- Dainties are Deceitful; they lie to you. They may taste good to you, but studies show they are as addictive and controlling as cocaine. Have you ever tried to quit eating them?
- Don't eat or crave the dainty food of evil men. You may enjoy them for the moment, but it will cost you more to regain the health you are losing.
- Avoid eating in excess. Gluttony causes drowsiness; know your appropriate portion size and stick to it.
Understanding that food manufacturers add toxic ingredients that create a craving for more to keep purchasing their fake food products is a deceptive tactic that you must be aware of.
Remember that there is "no good thing" that He will withhold from those that walk uprightly!
God knows these foods cause a lack of mind control, the weakening of our defense against the enemy, daily productivity, and relationships, not to mention how they destroy his temple, our body.
I'll say it again, eating habits are a spiritual battle, learning and resisting Satan's subtle tactics and deceptiveness.
