There is no reason to cut out any of those foods unless you have a diagnosed medical condition.
Uh yeah there is.
What is the reason?
I'm not going to sit here and explain why fast food is bad for your body.0 -
Yes, was having a systemic reaction to the junk and high fat intake not to mention almost daily meat intake. Losing 40 put my bp and blood sugar back to normal and almost eliminated iflammation. I feel normal again. Started working on it 2.5 years ago.0

Fast food really helped me lose a lot of weight without spending a fortune. Calorie information is right there and they all are willing to modify (i.e. no mayo).0

You can eat all that. I'm not concerned about all that as long as you aren't going nuts on sugar. I limit myself on it.

What is wrong with sugar?0 -
Salt is detrimental when you have high blood pressure. If you are on the edge of diabetes that is still controllable with food, you need to avoid foods that spike blood sugar. These are bread, pasra, rice, anything with refined flour. I went back to eating parily vegetarian with a 4 ounce meat portion every two weeks. Obtained protein from beans,nuts, and seeds.0

Where did the op say anything about hypertension, (High blood pressure) or diabetes?
Fruit also has sugar but no flour... As does juice.

You can eat fast food and lose weight, sure. But if you eat too much of it on a consistent basis you won't be healthy. Fast food doesn't contain the nutrients your body needs. The high levels of fat and sodium can cause high blood pressure. Excessive dietary sodium can also affect your kidney function. Too much fat can raise cholesterol and contribute to plaque build up and be a factor in heart disease. And because fast food doesn't contain the protein or complex carbohydrates your body needs to maintain consistent blood sugar levels, your blood sugar will drop soon after eating it and you'll crave sugar.0 -

From my point of view, I eat way more than I need to. My diet is mostly good but portions sizes are way too big. That is what I work on daily.0

The OP asked for what helped people personally... this seems to be @cortesr425's answer to that question. Not sure why you're questioning someone on what personally helped them...
