How To Find ‘Healthy’ Fast Food
Not too long ago I was dragged into a fast food restaurant to eat.Sometimes fast food places are unavoidable, even though I don’t like them. It’s hard to get healthy foods to eat at a fast food restaurant.
Stay away from breaded items like chicken patties, nuggets, and fish as well as deep fried items like hash browns and French fries. Leave the soda alone too.These items are loaded with poisonous trans fats from the hydrogenated oils used in the preparation problem.
As I’ve mentioned before, even just one gram per day of trans fats can have damaging effects.Now think about how a typical fast food meal with a chicken sandwich has about ten grams of trans fat!The total continues to increase as you add in a pie or cookie which can sent the trans fat total over 13 grams.
This is just one meal. Think about the effect of all this trans fat over time.Some people actually eat over 20 grams of trans fat in one day, not knowing that they are destroying themselves.
Just remember, no one will watch out for your health except you.Getting back to eating the least evil fast food meal, you should always ask for water rather than a soda. These may not be some ways that show you how to lose weight fast, but they can minimize the danger of fast food.
If you want, you could choose unsweetened tea so you can still avoid the extra belly fat associated with soda.
The best alternative for fast food breakfast is an egg, ham and cheese on an English muffin.A salad with fruit and nuts is also a good choice for a fast food breakfast. At lunch, try a plain cheeseburger, a grilled chicken sandwich, chili, or a grilled chicken sandwich.
The most important thing I want you to do is to stay away from the soda, fires, and other deep fried foods.
In the “Super-Size Me” movie, one guy was able to stay healthy while another one’s health was devastated.The biggest difference was that the healthy man never ate soda or fries.
Next time you are at one of these fast food places, keep in mind these tips and always make the smartest choice.
