7 Tips On How To Lose Weight by Eating Fast Food

If you're careful, it really is possible for fast food to be part of your weight loss regime. Follow these helpful tips:
1. Don't be tempted to go large. Sure, it's almost no extra money to go large or supersize your meal. But you'll have the same effect on your waistline. If necessary, just take in the exact right change for the regular meal.
2. Cut out the soda. Not just the full sugar soda, but the diet soda as well (this has other issues than your waistline). Choose water or tea or coffee instead.
3. Leave some food on your plate. You don't have to finish the whole meal. Leave some food uneaten. It's fine not to eat the whole burger bun or to leave the crust of your pizza uneaten.
4. Go easy on the mayo or cut it out completely. The calories in mayonnaise can be surprisingly high.
5. Check the label. Most fast food restaurants have a nutrition guide somewhere. Read it. Salad isn't always the healthiest choice on the menu, especially once you've poured the dressing on it. Consider taking the skin and the tasty coating off those chicken portions while you're at it.
6. Skip dessert or have fruit instead. You don't always need to have that ice cream dessert (or the apple pie that's really mainly pie, not apple). If you've got a craving for something sweet, consider frozen yogurt for a change.
7. Don't always think fried equals fast. Salad bars or sandwich bars are fine (but maybe not the foot long sub!). Skip the French fries once in a while. Experiment and you'll find something tasty and fast that doesn't have a hefty waistline penalty.
