An Argument Against Fast Food

Fast food in general is bad for you. it's not natural . I don't care if you like it or can lose weight while eating it. It's bad for you. Fry a chicken and it's way less healthy then baked. Can't dispute that. Throw out all the links and all the people who lost weight while eating it stories you want. Fast food is not healthy. Most of it is pre-packaged, per made, full of filler and chemicals barely grade edible food. Are there better choices then others at fast food places? sure. that doesn't make them inherently healthy. the first things doctors will tell you when embarking on a journey towards health is to cut fatty greasy sugar laden foods from your diet and to eat fruit vegetable and real meat. Mine did. I don't know how anyone can argue otherwise? I drink beer, but i'm not going to come on here and argue the "healthy" merits of beer. It's not healthy. I drink it because I want to. End of story. It's way better for me then fast food, but it's by not means healthy and you won't get that argument from me. I also manage to lose weight and am getting back to health while still drinking it. Still not healthy. same concept.
The person who eats it once or twice a year will have no real effects from it, (well maybe in the long run depends what choices they make) that does not negate the fact that it's unhealthy and very bad for you! Eating it often will produce negative side affects in the long run. right. that means not today, not tomorrow., but in the future.. when your body is less equipped to handle it.
I get it.. everyone wants to defend their food choices, because they feel like when you make a statement such as this it is something against you, because you do said behavior. A fact is a fact, whether you want to accept it or not.
you rock.

Coach: if you are 5'7" and 137lbs you should be eating all the fast foodz.
dude i'm good man. building muscle and eating clean at the same time. it's slow going, but it's' better for me in the long run.
I've put on over 10 pounds of muscle in the last few months while dropping my body fat to sub 10%
Oh rly???
by few it's more like 6 months, but yeah rly. everyone on these boards has already seen my ill-fated pics in the other thread. :P
So according to your diary, you're scarfing down chocolate covered donuts and crackers while preaching this garbage. Does the Shakeology shake "detox" that out of your body? Please give us the holy word.
lol my diary is also full of a ton of whole foods. today wasn't perfect. look at yesterday. absolute perfection. :P
i've already said 90/10.
to set things straight. ONE donut and 7 crackers. I'd have thought that was a model of moderation for you fast-food junkies!0 -

What you just said, is what we all have been saying all along. Either your reading comprehension skills are horrendous or you just changed your position. You're a young, wet behind the ears hypocrite. You will eventually grow up but I'm not waiting around for it.0 -

Well said and I also love beer but when I only ate fast food one or twice a year I could REALLY feel the effects of it. It was super-pronounced (instant loss of energy, lethargy, bloating, etc.) It's now that I eat crap more often that I feel the effects less, though in general I have grown used to feeling crappy.0 -

And so BK, Subway, Panera and Dominoes is okay in moderation, right?
But your post was discussing about cutting it out completely...not to eat in moderation.0 -
i may at some point. however they probably just talk about how eating clean doesn't matter, right?
if someone WANTS to go the extra mile, they shouldn't be vilified for it. if you guys want the easy, quick fixes, then go for it! that's your choice!
Excuse me..I'm sorry....easy, quick fixes....seriously did you just... :explode: :mad:
arguing on behalf of fast food means you want to keep that in your diet. that's much easier than eliminating it no? even though you all know it's really not great for you?
A donut can be easily eliminated from your diet, right Coachie? Then why do you eat them and put them in your diary for everyone to see, even though you know aforementioned donut is not good for you?

I've put on over 10 pounds of muscle in the last few months while dropping my body fat to sub 10%

lol my diary is also full of a ton of whole foods. today wasn't perfect. look at yesterday. absolute perfection. :P
i've already said 90/10.
to set things straight. ONE donut and 7 crackers. I'd have thought that was a model of moderation for you fast-food junkies!
You had triscuits yesterday - are they part of an absolutely perfect diary?0 -
BTW - you had a donut in your diary? Is that not considered "processed food" CoachReddy?
Also, aren't the Triscuits in your diary also "processed food".....????
Just pointing out the obvious.....
Would donuts be considered fast food? I don't know what the opinion on that would be.
processed. same diff.
you know whey protein does not come straight from a cow?0 -

But hey, I'm not here to say you HAVE to do it. I'm not even saying you should! If you'd rather eat fast food because you really enjoy it, then I would never advocate giving it up! But if your goals are to perform better and to feel better, not just lose weight, it may be worth considering.
You say that it may be worth considering. In fact, prior to that in your original post, you state that "Essentially the point is this: because fast food is not nutritionally dense, your body has to work harder to get fewer nutrients, which is a WASTE of energy. " And throughout this whole argument, you've been pretty adamant about backing the book.
So...let's clear the message because by going your original post, it sounds like you are pushing for 100% no fast food (even though you say that you aren't advocating it, you've said to get rid of it). In fact, you said that fast food was the quick and easy fix.
So..is it no fast food at all..or fast food in moderation? Like a few times a week moderation?0 -
strong broscience all throughout this thread 10/10 would laugh again0
