What did your Lunch look like today?
Maybe you found your self short of time and you had to grab something really quick. There wasn't anything around but.........McDonald's so you pulled in. Just this once.
Just a little hamburger wouldn't hurt anything. Just this once. Until the next time it happens.
Just know that hamburger and french fries are about the total calories that should be consumed in an entire day and there is probably more fat than a person needs in a day there as well. Then add the calories from the sugary drink. As if this were the only thing to think about these days with what we know about hormones and other agents in our foods. Don't you want more control over what you put into your body? CUT OUT THE FAST FOOD. PERIOD.
This is what my lunch consisted of today. Believe it or not, I am perfectly satisfied and I have room in my stomach to digest it properly with no discomfort. I started off with a fist size salad with sliced turkey, fat free won tons and Kens lite Northern Italian dressing (6 grams of fat per 2 tbs, I use only one). 3/4 of an apple and 3/4 of a cup of low fat cottage cheese (which has 14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup). The baby greens create a satisfied feeling, the protein provided in the cottage cheese and turkey give the meal longevity. The apple keeps the doctor away but not only that is is delicious and gets and entire serving of fruits out of the way for the day and cleans your teeth.
Your diet is your choice. Obesity is rising at an alarming rate. It should concern all of us because all of us will pay. We will pay in our taxes, our insurance premiums, or prescriptions and in numerous other ways. Make a choice today not to be a statistic. A healthy diet along with a sensible exercise program will not only save your life but it will save all of us millions of dollars.
