Make sure you eat at a table, and not in your car.  When you eat in your car, it makes you feel like you are sneaking.  And when you think you are being sneaky, why not eat more?  Eat inside at a table and you will eat less.

Choose wisely.  Don’t eat one of everything, don’t eat the fried stuff, don’t have more than one.  Be careful of things like the triple Whopper, large anything, 6-piece anything, and anything with caramel is sure to be a calorie hog.  You can get your whole days calories – plus – from any of these things by themselves.  You will have other days to make other choices.

Eating fast food will reduce your time in the kitchen, and give you more time for other things that are more enjoyable.  You won’t think about eating as often when you are doing something you enjoy.

Be careful of the little extras.  Condiments have a way of sneaking calories into you without you realizing it.  A couple packets of ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, etc, and you have added a lot more than you thought.  Even the cream and sugar in your coffee can creep in there without you noticing.

Just think, you can have french toast sticks, egg McMuffin, a donut, or cereal for breakfast.  Not all of them at once, but you can choose between them and have a variety throughout the week.

Lunch can be a baked potato and a salad, a sub sandwich with chips (baked, not fried), 2 soft tacos, or tuna, cheese and lettuce salad.

Dinner can be a Quarter Pounder with cheese, or chicken with veggies, or even reduced-calorie pizza.

You can have pretzels, fruit, lite yogurt, or a pudding cup for snacks.

Look at all the choices you have.  Eat and still lose weight.  What a deal!

Drink as much water as you want.  Maybe even more.  Most of us don’t get enough water in our diet.  We usually have a cup of coffee, or a soda and count that as the same as water.  It isn’t.  You need to drink a half gallon of water daily.  If you drink caffeine, you need to add even more water, because the caffeine just makes the water go right through you.

Just think.  Eat at fast food places, drink water, and you will spend less time in the kitchen, lose weight, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, and feel better.  That’s my kind of diet.
