    Seriously... anyone else?

    Arby's, Mcd's, Burger King (especially), Wendy's, Taco Bell, you name it! It all makes me (physically) sick to my stomach. That and I don't find it appealing, even if it didn't make me feel ill.

    I can't possibly be alone here.

    I am with you.

    I have been eating healthy for 3 months I have cut out all Junk food, Artificial sweeteners, Alcohol, Coffee, Fizzy drinks.

    Over Easter the kids were away with their Dad. My partner and I decided to order fast food as a Treat!!

    We had Pizza one day and takeaway Curry the next.

    We were both really ill and bloated. We felt sick our stomaches heavy. We were actually craving fruit our body's totally rejected the crap virtually went into shock.

    After 3 months of eating clean healthy food just the thought yet alone the smell of Junk food makes me feel sick.

    Sometimes it makes me feel ill, other times not. I usually feel ill after a BK. But.. rich/fattening food in general tends to make me feel fuller quicker, but not in a good way. Like I'll get to a point before I've finished and without even feeling nicely satisfied, I'll feel "uggh Im gonna be sick" I cant take too much fried foods, and esp deep fried, bleurgh. usually gives me stomach pains. However, if that sort of food isnt too greasy,I can sometimes handle it as a treat. but not all the time. Rich foods taste so weird now!

    Nope. Makes me sick too! I went on a 30 day fast food fast and I was all but cured of eating fast food. I eat Subway, but don't really consider it "fast food" with all of the veggies and healthier options. You are not alone.

    What I'm attacking is the idea that Red Robin and pizza are somehow automatically better than all "fast food," which, according to you, will cause you to get the runs because it has so much fat.

    You should stop being so defensive, or is your last name Kroc?

    You may not like it, but that is fact, quick serve food is better than fast food. It may only be marginally, but it is.

    Again, don't be lazy, there are more factors at hand than what you are specifically talking about, but if you want to say people don't get the runs from fast food, then go with that. If you don't, that's great for you. The reality is, not everyone should eat good food, there needs to be people eating fast food, otherwise people will lose jobs. Also, don't make the lazy mistake of then assuming that I'm calling Red Robin good food.

    If you want good, I can give you good, like Issa in SF, or Craigie on Main in Cambridge.

    In fact, you know. If you ever want to get past your addiction to fast food, let me know, I'd happily share recipes with you that can help break you out of that cycle of eating.

    I think I could eat McDonald's french fries every day (if cooked perfectly). I could do without the rest but oh, those golden fries...

    Better how? What makes 1500 calories of Red Robin hamburgers and fries better than, say, a grilled chicken sandwich from McD's?

    Didn't used to be... but now that I am eating clean... my hubby and I never go out to dinner at any restaurants or fast food and I have found :

    1) Restaurant food just never tastes as good as our home cooked meals - definately not worth the $$
    2) Fast food makes me really sick now

    Although... I still salivate over Bojangles commercials... can't help it.

    Hahah. I didn't go through all 9 pages, but sadly, I love fast food. :( hopefully ill get to the point where it grosses me out, but I still want it quite frequently but have to tell myself no and to eat something healthier.
    I do always feel guilty when I do eat it though.

    I used to eat them occasionally, but not any more. I call them 'lips and arsehole burgers' for a reason.....
