Fattening Mexican Fast Food

Taco Bell Grilled Stuft Beef Burrito

700 calories
30 grams of fat
2,100 mg sodium

It seems as though every item on Taco Bell's menu is dripping with cheese, sauce, or cheesy sauce. For a few years now, although they only started incorporating it onto their drive-thru menus as of late, Taco Bell has allowed you to order items "fresco."This translates to more salsa and veggies and less cheese foodstuffs. Prevent your gut from running to the border (and over) your belt. Say "fresco" at your next Taco Bell visit.

Heaviest Dessert

Dairy Queen Large Strawberry CheeseQuake Blizzard

930 calories
37 grams of fat
97 grams of sugar

So, what does go in a drinkable CheeseQuake? Mainly ice cream, strawberry syrup and hunks of cheesecake. Liquefied cheesecake ensures that your body won't know it has consumed twice its suggested amount of daily calories until it is too late.

Dessert is meant to be decadent. Not a dairy coma. By avoiding these fast food offenders you aren't denying yourself anything except poor health later in life. Search out tasty and healthier options the next time you need a meal on the go. You and your family are worth the extra time and expense.

Everything we eat has alot of sodium and fat in it. There's a motto that I have, and I go by it. Once in a blue moon, or every now and then, you can eat some of this stuff, as long as its not everyday or all the time.
I cook dinner at home every nite, so once in a while for me, its a break from the kitchen. But its not all the time.

If I want to eat lean and healthy, I stay home. When I go out, I want a treat.

If someone is stupid enough to think the word "fresh" in a menu listing means low-calorie, they are beyond help anyway.

My husband is now on a diet....I cook for him. He has gone from 230 pounds down to 219 pounds because I cook what I know is a healthy meal. He is a diabetic also so he needs guidance. When you're a well informed shopper it's not hard to pick up the right foods that are healthy - easy to cook- and those foods you can cook ahead of time ie: chicken breast, broccoli, etc. etc. When he is hungery I just warm up these foods, but never use the Microwave since it destroys the vitamins and minerals.

Isn't this the same old crap the most of us health conscious people of the planet earth have been exposed to for more than 20 years? It is simply information that has been re-hashed and been regurgitated again and again.
