I want to curb my fast food cravings. I put on 30 pounds recently from binging on fast food and instant meals.

    I was a fast food junkie! Tyson (the chicken brand) actually makes pre-cooked grilled patties and fillets, just microwave and plate...great way to make healthier burgers at home. Instead of fries, try these http://minimalistbaker.com/baked-sweet-potato-chips/ serving size is around 3.5oz. Can make a huge batch ahead of time, and use them as a healthier snack.

    Or, could always just start going to Subway :P

    Make them the enemy. Take pride in passing them by. Understand why the are bad on every level. That is one of the ways I quit smoking. Remember the way they pay their employees, targeting kids to eat their junk, going as far building playgrounds in an effort to gain a life long consumer. The weak attempts they make with "healthier offerings" that are overpriced. Sometimes we have to go there. It is a fight. Even if you don't think it is they will never stop fighting for your dollar. Best of luck

    Read into the calories and salt, sugar etc that goes into fast food, should put you off if you truly want to achieve your goals!
