Fast food risks are abundant when you look at the ingredients of most of the menu items. A Burger King Whopper has 790 calories with 52.77 grams of carbs (12.99 grams sugar) and 48.44 grams of fat (18.27 grams saturated fat).

This a huge meal by itself, but think of the french fries and chocolate shakes that go along with this meal. I sometimes wonder what marketing guru thought of the “Super Size” gimmick. For an extra chunk of change you get more for less. What you get is a backwards walk away from a healthy diet which is good old regular whole food Mom used to make.

“You are what you eat” think about that every time you put food in your mouth. Short term satisfaction equals long term gain (weight gain that is!).

I won’t lie,when I drive by a fast food joint and feeling hungry the smell of french fries just sends my hunger receptors through the roof. This is temporary since I just keep on driving thinking how lousy I’d feel afterwards..

The biggest fast food risks are mainly to do with your heart and arteries. The bad side of fast food is saturated fat which causes the build up of LDL (Bad) Cholesterol and triglycerides. These fats circulate in our bloodstream, high levels will cause artery blockage and major heart problems.

The fast food risks are obvious and fighting off cravings takes mental preparation.

Here is a video I would like you to watch which will show the bad side of fast food & hopefully help you avoid the drive-thru….
