    Fast food wouldn't be my first choice when eating out, I'm picky when it comes to eating, I am not a fan of deep fried foods and I find it easy to turn them down, we never had fast food growing up and I was too cheap to go. My husband loves the stuff so I'm semi-thankful that places like McD's, Dairy Queen, Wendy's etc. have meal salads that I can usually personalize (ie: Wendy's will personalize your salad so it doesn't have blue cheese or bacon or stuff like that) my salads.

    I don't eat fast food. The smell alone is enough to make me run in the opposite direction. Wish I had that same reaction to cookies and chocolate but, unfortunately, I don't.

    If anything will screw up feeling good from eating healthy, it is fast food: stomach cramps, bloating, constipation, extra thirst (from high sodium), lethargy, aches, diarrhea, and nausea . . . depending on the food of choice, of course!

    I do have to agree with this and usually the next day I have "eaters remorse".

    Unless I was drunk.

    Then that negates any "bad" choices I have made the night before.

    So being drunk negates bad choices? That only food related or to other things as well?

    depends what kind. most of it, doesn't sound good at all, or is really disappointing when I eat it.
    my fav. pizza place, certain arby's sandwiches that introduced me to pepper bacon, pretty much the only real bacon i like,
    and i like subway. that's about it.

    I am - with the exception of TACO BELL - those Doritos Locos tacos are sooooo amazing! lol

    To each his own, but that was the specific item that made me realize TACO BELL no longer appealed to me in any way!

    I enjoy eating most fast food. If it wasn't for the high calories I would eat it as often as I could. I envy those who hate it.

    I find all this repulsion a bit ridiculous - not a burger or milkshake person myself but I quite like subway and KFC twisters - I eat them and then and if I found myslef in Maccas, Im sure I could find something to eat.
    Even if only a coffee and cake from Mccafe.

    Fine in moderation IMO.

    McDonalds does make me sick, just the smell of it. It has it's own distict smell that cannot be compared to actual food. Blech!!!

    I actually get a little nauseated when I pass by one. :sick:

    Me too. i used to eat it, not a lot but sometimes. Tasted good, but makes you feel bloated and lacking energy afterwards. No more ever for me. I find sodium bothers me too and all that stuff is loaded so it was easy to give up

    I used to eat it all the time, now I can't bring myself to waste my daily calories on something from one of those establishments. And it's cheaper for me to just cook at home, even though it takes longer to bake some chicken than it does to go through the drive-thru.

    I totally agree! I'd rather go hungry than eat whatever it is that they call food. I've never been a bug burger fan, but even their salads, coffee drinks, etc. that I've had taste fake and processed. Yuk!

    Yeah, those bug burgers are pretty disgusting!

    If you stop eating it for a long time, and then try to eat it, it has a rotten weird smell to the meat...I can;t eat it at all now. I do like subway sandwiches still. And Fried CHicken ALWAYS smells good heh But the beef in the burgers and the oil in the fries smells like it has an undersmell of rot.

    The only fast food place that I go to is Sonic and even that is only for very feel items. Everything else grosses me out. But I used to be a huge fan! After I changed my diet the food looks awful. It's so weird how taste buds change.

    I was never into the chain fast food restaurants. I sure liked certain taquerias, though. Oh...and good pizza. Yum, pizza. :heart:

    I used to eat fast food a couple times a week. Now that I've changed my diet and began exercising, I seriously feel sick and weighted down after eating fast food. It doesn't even taste the same to me anymore.

    Fast food is disgusting. The only way I'll eat is if it's grilled chicken, but that would usually be at a restuarant at Friday's or Applebees. I hate mcdonalds, Arbies especially, and burger king!! To even look at those burgers will clog your arteries, lol.

    It repulses me too!! I took the kids to BK last night and made the mistake of getting a whopper and it was gross! Not worth the calories or the guilt!!!

    Never have fast food.. It is disgusting and tastes so salty. To think when I was a kid
    Macdonalds was my favorite meal. I have not even had a hot dog in a year.

    Oh, forget it, hot dogs are the WORST. I used to eat fast food every now and then, but then I cut processed foods out of my diet. After a couple months of no processed food, I ate at Taco Bell with some friends and felt sooooooooo sick afterwards. On top of that, on the rare occassion that I eat red meat of any kind now, I get really nauseous. It's just not worth it to me any more. No fast food or red meat for me.

    I can't eat McD's anymore I get sick. The only fast food I like is poutine from a fries stand (or la banquise in Montreal) or fried chicken.

    Its a chemical addiction to these foods. If you stay clear of eating from these places for many months or longer, when you walk by one the smell alone will make you sick and wonder how you ever ate at these places. But what I noticed was when I started every so often to go again (mainly for convince to my office and being inexpensive) the food starts to taste good again and you get the urge to go back more. Even going back at first was giving me stomach pains and discomforts are your body has to breakdown unknown chemical compounds.

    I go to Subway occasionally, and to McDonald's maybe twice a year. I don't mind it, but I can easily live without it.

    Nope. In fact, finding the right things to eat at fast food places has been a big part of my weight loss so far.

    The winners so far (note that I don't get any kind of sides, etc. with these; Drink is always water):

    Burger King:
    Morningstar Veggie Burger
    Turkey Burger
    Grilled Chicken Salads

    Chick Fil A :
    Any of the Grilled Chicken Salads w/ one of the fat free dressings (used sparingly, almost never the whole packet)
    Grilled Nuggets

    Subway/Any Sub Shop:
    Anything with chicken and lots of veggies; very little sauce

    Wendy's:
    Grilled Chicken Salads

    Also Grilled Chicken Sandwiches - pretty much every fast food places have them; reduce or remove condiments. Can't really go wrong with those.

    Then I just track everything in MFP, and exercise.

    Which chemical compounds are you referring to, exactly?

    I dunno. Better watch out for the "unknown chemical compounds" that cause physical addiction and digestive pain.
