Fast Food Fat Loss Failure

Posted by Carol Dunlop on April 23, 2009 at 6:29pm

Back in the nineties Fast Food companies tried to change. They tried coming out with lighter and lower fat versions of their sandwiches and tacos and everything else.Know what happened?The "healthier" versions on their menus failed miserably. And I mean miserably. They were all pulled and replaced by newer options that were bigger, fattier and more calorie laden than ever before.Seriously, they stopped pulling punches and did what any smart business should: They gave people what they wanted. And in the case of Fast Food companies that meant adding as much mayo, bacon, cheese and beef as they possibly could.That's when we started seeing the Triple Burgers and Mega Burgers and tacos wrapped in melted cheese stuck to yet another taco.And people were more than happy to gobble them all right up.I believe, fortunately, that we've come to a point where people have realized that it's all just too much. To some extent people are waking up and realizing that they cannot afford to get sick. They cannot afford to eat garbage all the time. They are understanding it WILL catch up to them.Kentucky Fried Chicken has been in the news lately because they are trying a new Kentucky GRILLED Chicken. Supposedly it tastes as good as their fried version.Now I don't know if it does or doesn't. And to be honest, I don't much care. You see, the fact of the matter is when people go to Fast Food restaurants and order something "healthier" like grilled chicken they typically off set it by eating every french fry in sight. Or drinking a 64oz cola.There are better choices to be made. And if you plan your day you won't be in a position where you have to gobble a meal down at KFC, McDonald's or Burger King.Things like:-Low fat cottage cheese-Hard boiled eggs-Fresh fruit and veggies-Raw almondsYou could also go with Prograde Cravers or Prograde Lean. Cravers are the best tasting healthy snack bar on the planet and Lean is their delicious chocolate meal replacement shake. (In the PS under my signature you'll find out all he details on a BIG sale Prograde is having! Oh, and hurry because it ends tomorrow night.)Look, the bottom line is simple: A little bit of planning and some smart food choices go a long way to getting that flat stomach you're looking for.Stay Fit,Carol DunlopPS - Here's what you need to know about Prograde Nutrition's Second Birthday Sale:- You save 10.2% off ALL of their products.

The Path to Success Starts with Education!

Posted by Ginger Jones on August 26, 2008 at 12:30am

The path to success begins with education.Education increases understanding; Understanding creates compliance; Compliance brings forth results.Results equal success.I have 5 lbs to go to reach my goal weight. I should be happy, right??? WRONG! I have to lose 5 lbs of fat. Do you have any idea how hard it is to target body fat???I bet you don't. Fat is a stored energy source. Fat is used as a last resort, just in case something crazy happens and we run out of other preferred sources of energy (carbohydrates).I kind of liken it to getting clothes out of your closet vs getting clothes out of storage--it's alot easier to walk over to your closet and pick out an outfit, rather than searching through the clothes you've stored away and picking out an outfit.It can be quite difficult to rid our bodies of excess fat.Find out why here.
