| Peoples lives have become so busy and rushing | | | | at any fast food restaurant. They arent |
| around, that we no longer eat the way we | | | | designed for those trying or needing to watch |
| should. In some places, there is a McDonalds | | | | what they put in their mouth. But you can |
| on every major corner, if not some other fast | | | | make better decisions. Dont eat the bread if |
| food restaurant. Watching TV, you see a | | | | you can stand not too. Its along the lines of |
| commercial for some kind of food place almost | | | | the South Beach Diet but thats where lots of |
| every time commercials are on, urging you to | | | | your weight gaining properties are. Dont get |
| eat there because its good and you can get it | | | | anything fried, this includes French fries, |
| fast and cheap. With so many distractions and | | | | onion rings, or even fried chicken. Get a |
| obligations, families have these days, how do | | | | diet pop, tea, or water. Avoid the desert and |
| you eat healthy in a fast food world? Its not | | | | the salad, both have sugar in them and I dont |
| an easy thing to do but is possible with | | | | just mean in the toppings. Watch Super Size |
| planning and knowing what to look for. This | | | | Me for a real eye opener. The show is on |
| isnt to say fast food cant be consumed | | | | McDonalds but you can bet that all fast food |
| occasionally, but it should be less often | | | | restaurants are basically the same. Limit how |
| than people are doing it now. Not to mention | | | | often you eat fast food to once per week, if |
| that our food is so processed that it takes | | | | that fast. Get a wrap at Subway instead of a |
| five minutes to cook and has high | | | | toasted sub. Less bread and just as filling |
| carbohydrates among other things that are not | | | | with all the fixings you want. When you get |
| digested quickly. This is leading to obesity | | | | pizza, get vegetables on it so you arent just |
| in the population. | | | | eating bread, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. |
| | | | Remember just how bad fast food is for you, |

| make it faster to cook, as well as more | | | | Starting early will make it easier on your |
| convenient for the way our lives have become, | | | | body as you age. |
| it is actually not as good for you as it once | | | | |
| was. Recently the food administration even | | | | Eating at Home |
| changed the food pyramid to coincide with how | | | | |
| we eat these days and food is made. They are | | | | The best thing to do is find a way to cook |
| suggesting more whole grains than ever | | | | meals most nights of the week. This can take |
| before, as well as vegetables. This may sound | | | | planning and team work. Have at least one |
| like what has been told to children for | | | | non-meat dish every week. It doesnt have to |
| years, but even whole grains are deceiving on | | | | be fish or seafood either. Dont use fast |
| packaging these days. With all the new diets | | | | cooking rich to go with your meals. Those are |
| out there for low carb, no carb, low fat, no | | | | again loaded with carbohydrates, which take |
| fat, etc., foods are coming out that say | | | | your body longer to break down and will make |
| whole grain but are just as processed as its | | | | you hungry sooner than you should be. Plan |
| white counterpart. They are made with | | | | weekly meals so that you can cook casseroles |
| enriched wheat. This process takes out all | | | | and other easy to reheat dishes early in the |
| the nutrients and other things that take time | | | | week for days you will not have time to cook. |

| ingredient is a good way to find the real | | | | for it. You can make just about anything in a |
| whole grain product. They are now more | | | | crock pot these days and have a good meal |
| expensive than the over processed product | | | | when you get home. Have salad a few times a |
| because manufacturers could make the enriched | | | | week with dinner, but watch how much dressing |
| version cheaper and faster. To eat healthy | | | | you put on it. Have desert, but make it |
| you have to read the labels of everything you | | | | Jell-O. Indulge once in a while to though and |
| consume. | | | | it wont feel like you are depriving yourself |
| | | | of anything. |
