Conclusion: Fast Food Can Fit into Your Program

Let’s go over our rules one more time before you give in to temptation at a fast-food restaurant and order something you know you shouldn’t—like a Big Mac, a Whopper, an order of fries, an apple pie, etc.—think good and hard about whether it’s worth it or not. I’ll tell you right now that by the time you finish eating those fries or that Big Mac, you’re going to realize it was a mistake!

Remember this—it’s just food—you control it; it doesn’t control you! I can help you build a lean, healthy body, but you’ve got to do your part. I’m not telling you that you can’t eat fast food. That’s not realistic. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking that junk foods are okay; they’re not.
If you remember only one thing from reading this article, it should be this: almost all fast-food joints offer a grilled chicken sandwich. Load that sucker up with lettuce and tomato, ketchup, and mustard or try salsa or a low-fat salad dressing on your chicken sandwich; you might be surprised how good it is!
Remember, if you don’t think a chicken sandwich is going to fill you up, or you know from experience it didn’t fill you up last time, try drinking 12 oz of water before you even start to eat your meal, and then drink another 12 oz of water or iced tea with your food. Eat slowly, and remember not to get too filled up because you have to eat again in another few hours!
Remember, pulling into a fast-food restaurant is not a sin—making the wrong decision at a fast-food restaurant is!
