Avoid fast food like the plague

This is prob­a­bly one of the most influ­en­tial posts you will ever read as it will make you realise that fast food really is like the plague. Although it hasnt got some of the plague prop­er­ties like spread­ing per­son to per­son.. and some other minor things and not to men­tion the side affects etc..

Fast food is how­ever addic­tive and although not the same side affects of the plague (thank­fully) it does have some includ­ing mak­ing you feel extremely slug­gish and lazy in gen­eral. Although it might not be not­i­ca­ble when you actively con­sume it on a reg­u­lar basis like most peo­ple in our soci­ety do its extremely not­i­ca­ble to those who rarely touch it.

Think of it as if you were made to eat salad and water none stop for a few days, chances are you would feel tired and slug­gish and thats because of the change of diet and because your not get­ting the same calo­ries and fat as you would typ­i­cally get. Its pretty much the same for those who eat health­ily and then decide to eat junk food.

Another great anal­ogy is drug deal­ers. Its com­mon knowl­edge that a major­ity of drug deal­ers dont use what they sell and thats because they know whats in it and what it does. The same can apply to take away as I can almost guar­an­tee the head of mcdon­alds etc prob­a­bly dont eat mcdon­alds… I know for one my sis­ter worked at mcdon­alds and after doing so wouldnt eat it at all.

Some other key points about fast food is that things like MSG is added to fast food and would typ­i­cally not be in your reg­u­lar food con­tents if cooked fresh at home.

Another key thing that we need to note about fast food and why we should avoid it is the por­tion sizes, if you go to a fish and chip shop or a kebab shop, pizza or one of another few dozen dif­fer­ent fast food shops that are prob­a­bly in your area you will end up with a por­tion prob­a­bly two to three times the size of what you would give your self at home.

So take note  and avoid the fast food places.. like the plague..
