Ways to stop eating fast food

Don’t you know those fries will give you a heart attack? You have to stop eating all that fast food, it’s going to make you fat! Researchers at the University of Minnesota School of Public health surveyed 530 adults about their attitudes towards fast foods.

They found that people already know fast food is unhealthy. (like, no kidding!) The primary reasons they eat it anyway are because of the perceived convenience and a dislike for cooking! (they think fast food is always cheaper than healthy food).

So, said the authors of this research paper, nagging people to eat more healthy food and warning them that “fast food is going to make us fat and kill us” is not the best approach.

Tom Venuto, author of the best selling e-book, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle tells you the right approach to make healthy eating and ways to stop eating fast foods.

What’s the right approach?

Focus on teaching people how to make healthy eating fast, convenient and easy, because those are the reasons people are choosing fast food in the first place. So what’s holding us back from implementing or taking this advice?

Well, most people can’t get over the ideas that they "just cant cook" or that cooking is "too time consuming" or that healthy food "tastes like dirt" (as if McDonalds is gourmet food!) It's just better to prepare your meals at home and take them with you to work.

• Consume vegetables little by little throughout the day. Look for recipes in which a variety of vegetables are included with meat or fish.
• Take your time to eat. Chew food well and try to relax over meals.
• Choose foods with a higher calorie density. You could eat broccoli and salad until your face hurts from chewing so much.
• Eat plenty of starchy carbohydrates including whole grains & cereals, pasta, potatoes, yams, beans, rice and oatmeal.
• Make your own fruit juices. Avoid commercially available fruit juices and soft drinks, which contains sugar.
• Don't be afraid to drink a lot of your calories in the form of low fat/skim milk, juice or supplements/shakes.

Here’s a few meal ideas (for starters) to prove just how easy and convenient it is to eat healthy and nutritious food and make it delicous.

3-Minute apple cinnamon Oatmeal

• Natural oatmeal
• Natural (unsweetened) applesauce
• Cinnamon
• For protein, serve with scrambled eggs or egg whites on side or stir 1-2 scoops of vanilla protein powder into the oats

Protein should be included in every meal throughout the day. This will be good to eat almost every morning. It’s faster, easier and cheaper than going to the donut place or getting sausage, cheese, bacon breakfast muffins at the fast food joint!

10-Minute lazy person’s chinese stir fry

• Brown rice (try basmati)
• Frozen oriental vegetables
• Chicken breast, grilled (try foreman grill)
• Bragg’s "liquid aminos" (or light/lo-sodium soy sauce)

This takes 30 minutes, however, if you get a rice cooker and make a giant batch, you can have your rice on standby for instant eats and this will take less than 10 minutes.

2-Minute black beans and spicy salsa

• Black beans (15 oz can)
• Medium or hot salsa
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic or chopped garlic to taste
• salt and pepper to taste

This one takes you all of 2 minutes to make. No cooking required! And it’s good! It’s vegetarian as listed above, but if you’re a high-protein muscle-head like me, just add chicken breast or lean ground turkey.

Best part: this is all inexpensive food! Oats, rice, beans doesn’t get much cheaper than that - buy your healthy staples in bulk. You never want to let your body get too hungry. It’s important to keep snacks handy so you never experience hunger or a blood sugar low without having a healthy option nearby.
