February - No Fast Food Challenge.

Ronbry

I am always up for a challenge...

My friend Emily took on this challenge about 5 years ago and she hasn't eaten in a McDonald's, Burger King, or any hamburger joint since! She still goes to Subway and sub shops to get veggie stuff but no greasy stuff. It's an amazing feeling to know that none of that junk is in your body. I am sure they have a lot of bad stuff at subway, but it can't be nearly as bad as whoppers and big macs...

Not to mention all the nitrates and sodium in the meats. But fast food is fast food whether healthy or not. I think the hummus wraps at Pita Pit are pretty healthy (OH!! just remember the last fast food I had!) but it's still fast food so none for me this month. Bummer! We just got a Pita Pit in our town and I was pretty excited to have a decent fast food choice and now I've sworn it off for a month. :ohwell:

I would not swear off anything called Pita Pit. I have no idea what it is but the kind of fast food that is EVIL has nothing to do with pitas and hummus. Plus, an elimination diet (swearing off lets say...cheese or something you love) is not proven to be successful. I just like saving $$ and eating out all the time is not a way to do it. Plus, I don't eat factory farmed meats.

It's just for a month so I'll stick to the challenge and no Pita Pit in Feb. I might not have gone back for a month anyway. I generally pack my own lunch. BTW - They have plenty of unhealthy options to pack the pitas, too.

So, I was sitting in the drive thru at McDonalds this morning for a beverage and I was thinking, "oh no! I'm not supposed to be here! What am I doing????" Then I realized that to day is the 31st, whew! That was a close one! I'm still in!

I'm in but I am keeping my subway...! I will limit myself to once per week though!

You'll stop eating Subway as often as you do when you learn this:

**they add a chemical to their bread to make it appear brown and more 'healthy'. It's the same chemical compound found in fertilizer. YUM! You're better off getting bakery bread and making your own sandwich.

Thanks for the info. :flowerforyou: But... I am still going to eat my turkey and cheese sub once in awhile... I like it... :bigsmile:

I know for me I am going to eliminate chineese food too. I will not be counting Subway as a fast food.

I haven't had fast food in 6.5 years - since I got pregnant with my first child..
Good luck! It's actually one of the easiest things to give up.. I had trouble for the first while when my husband would eat it- the smell is tempting, but after watching Jamie Oliver, and with understanding how it's not food, it's fat and chemicals, it's quite easy to turn your nose up at it..

If it was that easy it would not be a billion dollar industry. :noway: But good for you on 6.5 years fast food free!! Excellent!! :flowerforyou:

I'm game. It'll be a hard challenge especially since i have a few trips but i'm going to push myself to follow through.

I don't consider Subway as fast food. Fast food would be: Wendy's, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Burger King, etc. Subway is fresh veggies, fresh baked bread...that is not fast food.
I'll join....but I won't give up Subway. I'd rather have that any of that other garbage!
