If someone is addicted to a certain type of unhealthy food then it may be best to avoid that food. Like smoking. I quit, but if I was to have just one, I would be on 20 a day in no time at all. There are a lot of addictions that are very similar, drinking alcohol, smoking, food.0 -
Great words of wisdom. Love it.0

Food is not an addiction or a drug. You need it to survive.0 -
A Big Mac is 550 calories. You could have four a day and be on 2200 calories, as long as that's all you ate. It'd be kind of cool, losing weight by eating 4 big macs a day and nothing else. Not the healthiest, but interesting. And it sure as hell wouldn't fit anyone's macros.0

If you can't stay away from fast food entirely, try to find the most healthy options, even if you are looking at the deep fried things. I know for my son, I try to pick the "healthier" options. For example, in Canada, Wendy's chicken fingers are made with real unprocessed chicken. It is the same as if you cut up chicken at home, battered it and deep fried it. It's not the best, obviously; but compared to other places where the chicken fingers/nuggets and sandwiches are made with mushed up chicken (variety of things added), I would rather the other option. I like what the first reply was from a fellow serviceman. You need to respect you body and treat it well to make it last. You owe it to yourself and you deserve it too. Take care.0

There are healthy things to eat at McD's. However they will probably eff up your order and throw a free pie at you. Don't eat the pie.0

The big problem is the sodium and fat not necessarily the calories but it is interesting.0 -
Start doing meal prep at home ... bring food with you so that when you are hungry or craving mcdonalds you always have a healthy snack or meal close by to eat! It will help kick the cravings.

Sodium - drink more water than the usual and problem solved.
Fat, a macro nutrient just like protein and carbs are.0 -

Firstly. I would be sick eating that everyday.
Secondly. I doubt you would get all your vitimans and nurtrients from that diet0 -

I agree and disagree with you. For some people food IS an addiction. You don't get obese from eating healthily.0 -

Addiction is mostly a lack of will power.
I know you're trolling, but that is wrong.

Secondly, that's what I said.
Thanks for the tips. Nurtrients. And vitimans. Too. Good.0 -

I second everything that's been said about junk food being addictive... the less you eat, the less you want it. But, of course, breaking the habit is Step One. I know something about this, living right around the corner from a Mickey D's.
This may be somewhat extreme, but try reading one of those tell-all books about the fast food empires... where and how they get their meat, primarily. I've never done this, but I've heard enough brief anecdotal stuff majorto make me think twice before going to one of the cheaper fast-food places.
I haven't managed to totally exclude this kind of food from my diet, but if I want a burger, I normally go to Five Guys and get some quality.0 -

Absolutely. Just don't drink or smoke. It's literally that simple. You smoke too much then quit smoking. The same goes for alcohol. People like to disguise their lack of will power by saying they have a disease or an addiction.0 -
When I go to McD's, I get 4 grilled chicken patties. They charge me a $1 per patty. $4.27 for 360 calories, 80 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, 4 grams of carbs.
DON'T get fries.0 -

It is not a matter of eating healthily but mainly how much you eat - Excessive amount of calories will make you gain weight even from steamed broccoli and grilled chicken!0 -

The fat in 4 big macs is twice my macro. I don't like big macs that much that I want to work out that much harder
