Fast food used to mean quick and easy snacks. The first fast food appeared in ancient Rome. At that time, yeast dough cakes greased with olive oil were sold in the bazaars. So it should not be confused with junk food (junk food) - sandwiches with greasy sauce, French fries and sweet carbonated drinks.

Fast food provides an opportunity to quickly satisfy hunger, which is often as harmful as overeating. By itself, fast food cannot harm, you just need to know the sense of measure.

 

We have developed several recommendations on how to eat fast food as part of a healthy diet. However, it is necessary to remember that "healthy fast food" will not help you lose weight, for this you need a comprehensive approach that includes physical exercises.

We get rid of the excess

  • Salt shaker - to the side . Ask not to salt the dish or simply do not buy it if this is not possible. Products from which "fast food" is made already contain enough salt.

The benefits are endless. The risk of dying from arterial hypertension drops sharply.

  • Unsweet life. Give up sugar, do not add it to tea or coffee. You should completely forget about sweet carbonated drinks.

Benefit: huge. Sugar is the cause of many serious diseases, such as pancreatic cancer and diabetes. In addition, you save up to 300 kcal - and this is a more than convincing argument.

  • Do you want to pour sauce? The correct answer is: "No!". This is especially true of mayonnaise and ketchup. It is better to ask for onions or garlic, as a last resort - mustard.

Benefit: your burger has just lost almost 170 kcal! And you didn't catch too much.

  • We passed the gas station ! Do not dress the salad with dressing, it is better to dip the vegetables in it.

Benefit: salad "lost weight" almost 170 kcal.

  • "To bread." If the dish or its components are deep-fried or fried, skip this line in the menu - not our stop.

Benefit: cannot be assessed. No oil on the pan - no fat on the waist.

  • BekON – bekOFF? Pork and all ready-made products from it are not part of a healthy diet. It is better to pay attention to lean meat: chicken, veal, turkey and rabbit.

Benefit: lowering cholesterol.

  • Fish day is cancelled. As a rule, fish cutlets for sandwiches are fried in a huge amount of oil, which means that the calories are many times more than in ordinary hamburgers.

Benefit: gave up filet fish? Enter minus 350 kcal in your account.

  • We change buns . If you have a choice, ask for a whole wheat bun. If this is not possible, remove the top half of the bun - you will get an open sandwich.

Benefits: up to 10 g of fiber, vitamins B and E, zinc, selenium, iron, antioxidants, plant estrogens. Or simply save on calories.
