Do we believe that by occasionally choosing a lower calorie food item at a fast food chain, America will become thinner? |
LOL that is so true and I am afraid the whole story is not just the calories. Most fast food chains and other restaurants as well have food loaded with salt, fat, or sugar. They will reduce one but up the other to hook you. It is very bad stuff as it is not real food at all.
Rather than counting calories, go home and cook real food, real vegetables, small portions of meat and forget the sauces, use herbs for flavour. Forget the packaged frozen meals you put in the micro or oven, this is still processed garbage.
I lost 80 lbs cooking real meals and watching portions and gained back 20 when I fell of the wagon and went to McDonalds and A &W on occasion. Now I am back to putting that off limits and lost 5 lbs this week.
