Fast Food

Re: Fast Food

I stopped eating fast food a month ago and have lost 15lbs. I was up to 263lbs and now I'm down to 248lbs as of this morning. I still have another 25lbs to go, as my target wieght is 220-225lbs. So basically I'm going to see how far changing my diet goes, and then when I plateau, I'm going to get back in the gym and burn the rest of it off. It's kind of funny how life changes after you get a cyst in your neck about the size of a golf ball and have to have it surgically removed. Good news it wasn't cancerous, but it seems I have borderline high blood pressure and all the sodium in fast food isn't doing me any good.

Damn the crap that happen as you get older. >

And as for favorite fast food place that would be the Red Headed Ho. ;)

Re: Fast Food

Of the ones listed in the poll, Burger King.  But even better than that, I have to agree with yellowmalibu, I prefer Sonic and Whataburger.  But Whataburger got a little expensive, IMO so I stick to Sonic most of the time.

I WILL NOT eat at McDonalds. Bad food poisoning twice, from two different locations. I should have learned the first time, but I tried it again. Ended up in the hospital one of those times.

Re: Fast Food

I voted for McD's since that's my favorite on the list, but the absolute best is the All American Drive-in, a local establishment in the true spirit of a 'burger joint' located on Merrick Road in Massapequa. They peel, slice, & fry the fries right on sight, and normally you'll see the 30 gal drums behind the counter filled with the fries. Order up a Double-Double (double burger, double cheese), large fries, and sit outside (there're no inside tables) either at the picnic tables or in your car.

Re: Fast Food

I went for a year without drinking soda or eating at any fast food joints. It didn't do a thing for me. No weight loss, no lower blood pressure, no extra energy. Not quite sure what that means, but I do eat at those places occasionally now.

Re: Fast Food

Oh yeah, I used to live on Del Taco when I was out west... because it was cheap, not because it was good.

Some Del Taco's are pretty good, they seem to be like Taco Bell, real hit and miss. The one I miss most of all is Naugle's! They were better than Taco Bell and Del Taco combined.

Re: Fast Food

Don't do fast food except for maybe a drive thru breakfast quickie and then it's whatever is open and whatever we're close to. No preferences - - they're all bad for you

Re: Fast Food

Wendy's are winning!
We had Wendy's here a long time ago and their burgers were about the size of cookies! They weren't popular and they didn't last long. They got bought out by Hungry Jacks which is a Burger King subsidery I'm pretty sure.
They're a heap better than McChuck's!

Gee, we have "family-sized" pizza, but is this a family burger? I could live on that for nearly a week!
It's twice the size of that guy's head!!

It took me a second to realize that those are "tooth picks" with pickles on them. Somehow that doesnt look good to me at all
