I have just joined this site and need help. I have been doing the cabbage soup diet which worked, but I just can't do it anymore so I found this site. Today, my only option for lunch is fast food. Does anyone have any idea what I should eat?

    Look up calories in MFP before you decide............

    Every fast food restaurant should have 1 or 2 healthy things on the menu

    When I'm really craving fast food, I'll hit up Wendy's. The Jr. cheeseburger deluxe isn't so bad, and sometimes I'll splurge and get a value size fry as well. They also have the baked potatoes and chili which aren't terrible options!

    Subway? Subway salads are good.

    ETA: I've done that soup a couple times. Do go too hard on fatty foods right after. I guess it would depend on how long you did it for, but take it easy on your digestive system for a day or 2.

    That is up to you, every fast food place pretty much has healthy options, and calorie count listed. If I were you, I would go on to a couple of their websites, and plan out some meals in your calorie range that you have, and decide from there. Don't ever be scared to eat out some place, just plan in advance. Oh and don't ever do the cabbage soup diet again.

    how is it possible that you could have that that was remotely close to a good idea?

    Good lord. Exhausting.

    sigh. Soup- go for a heavier soup and some light stuff- chicken salad or something. your system is going to have a conniption fit the second you put real food in it.

    You put a burger in your tummy after even like 3-4 days of cabbage soup only- and it's going to die. or explode- in your toilet- either way it's not going to be pretty.

    So is 'juice cleanse' and that crazy lemon/maple/cayenne thing.

    Just because it's real thing doesn't make it good thing.

    If you are coming off of a crazy soup diet, you should stick to a side salad or something with a small amount of meat. Your stomach is going to be hurting if you toss back a burger right off the bat.

    I know about juicing and the master cleanse but cabbage soup diet is news to me.

    I've tried that cleanse you mentioned (friend made it in highschool for school thing). It tastes so weird. :drinker:

    You should back away from the cabbage soup and eat fast food daily. Salads are great. Chicken sandwiches. Milkshakes.

    McDonald's premium wraps with grilled chicken are good. I think the sweet chili one has like 360 calories. I've had that in a pinch when something to go is the only option. I also like their salads. The southwest with grilled chicken is good.

    Anything has to be better than this cabbage soup thing.

    Whopper JR and Wendy's JR with all the veg are actually fairly light and well balanced meals.

    You can order a lot of things at Taco Bell fresco style, which makes it healthier. Chicken tacos fresco style are actually a pretty good option.

    There are almost always other options besides fast food, and if fast food truly is your only option select wisely especially coming off a fad diet like cabbage soup.

    Edited because I am stupid and didn't realize that she said she is no longer doing the cabbage soup diet.

    Regardless, why all the fast food hate. Yes, it's high in sodium, but you can find low calorie options.
