Face it, most of us enjoy eating fast food. Maybe we feel a little guilty while we do it, but sometimes that adds to the pleasure.
But is it possible to enjoy fast food and lose weight at the same time?
If you’re careful when you order your fast food, the answer is a surprising “yes”.
Firstly, realize that the objective of a fast food restaurant is to give you eyes bigger than your stomach. The main offerings are combo meals: regular item plus fries and drink. Then there’s the “go large” option.
Stop right there!
Make your own choice.
For a start, don’t go large.
Then choose water or (if you really have to) a diet soda rather then a sugar laden soft drink. Coffee or tea is also often available for the same price.
After that, the next trick is to leave some of the food uneaten.
We’re all trained by our parents that we shouldn’t leave food on the plate – after all, there are people starving, so it’s not right.
But leaving, say, half the bun from your burger won’t harm anyone. But it will help your waistline.
Skip dessert. Unless you really, really, really want that ice cream. In which case, see if there’s a low fat option available – even if means going to a different store.
