Dieting and shopping

If you're out and about Seasonal shopping and you want a meal fast, sometimes the only viable option is fast food. Other times, you just feel plain lazy and you don't want to cook. Either way, fast food seems like a sound option. Deal is, eating out too much can really mess up a healthy weight loss diet. There are healthy alternatives mixed in among all the fattening choices. Your best bet is to learn some common sense guidelines about what makes each item unhealthy and choose one of the healthy items.

It'll also help if you study the menus of some of your favourite fast food restaurants. You'll most likely be able to look up their nutrition facts online. Do that and you'll know for certain how many calories are baked into your favourite fast food meals.

Now here's your quick guide to eating healthy and keeping those unwanted pounds off while eating fast food:-

• Grilled Meats. Grilled meats are a much healthier way of cooking rather than deep fried, breaded meats. If the fast food place you're visiting has the option of choosing crispy or fried chicken versus a grilled patty, choose the grilled one. If the place is like KFC, and the grilled meat isn't really grilled, then just eat the deep fried, breaded meats and avoid the side carbs (biscuits, etc).
• Skip the Fries. This one is hard for people to get over because they so love the way fries taste. Some imagine kicking the heroin habit is easier than this. But I've probably had about a handful of fries in the last 5 years so I'm doing good! Nothing but starchy carbs and trans fats here.
• Healthier Sides. Some fast food places will offer alternatives to a side of fries. You may be able to opt for some healthy fruit or salad instead. Or you could do the healthiest side option–don't get any!
• Don't Super Size. Less calories = less fat. And they only supersize the fries and the soda! What's up with that? I want a super sized cheeseburger man!
• Diet Soda. I used to laugh in my sleeve at the fat guy who orders the big greasy meal and then orders a diet soda, as if it'll make a difference. Well it does make a difference, but, not if your packing fries into your mouth too! Big sandwich, skip the fries or chips, and a diet soda can go a long way towards filling you up and helping you not eat as much … Water or unsweetened tea is a sensible choice too.
