RE: Has Anyone Else Sworn Off Fastfood? (POLL)

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I voted 2-3 times a month, usually it's Taco Bell (what is it that they put in their food to make us all crave it? Is it crack or something!?!). And the occasional Arby's or Sonic (Mmmmm! Cheddar bites).

once every couple of months. i loooooooove mcdonalds/burger king- i swear i used to eat it every day when i was in college and i was super skinny- ahhh if only i could still pull that off! now its a rare treat.

I eat it maybe 2x per month. Does pizza count? We have that about once a week.

My book club is reading Don't Eat This Book and I am sad to start reading it, because I know it will make me want to stop eating fast food. But I really love McDonald's fries and I am not ready to give up that love.

Not since I became a health food nut two years ago.......I did miss fries but then after having a couple a few months back they didn't taste the same.....I think if you stay away from something long enough, maybe your palette changes.......great forums by the way...it's nice to be here!

I get fast food about once a month or so. It used to be a little more often than that, but now that I'm watching my weight, I'm cutting down. Wendy's is usually my biggest temptation. Everything there is so damn good!!!

I pretty much only eat it when we're on a long trip and don't have other options. I just dont care for it very much!

I'm with some of the others though, that didn't include subway type places in that, but I still eat that kind of stuff less than once a month.

gypsyfreak · Coach

I eat it a couple times a month because I'll get cravings for greasy fast food. Taco Bell and In-N-Out are my favorites, but lately I've been eating KFC too.

i eat subway A LOT. the only fast food i eat, besides the occassional chipotle (i wish i never saw the nutritional info) is taco bell. it's half a block from my place. my bf and i and it, and often it will be my last stop after the bars in which case i order too much, pass out when eating and we end up eating bean burritos in bed for breakfast in when we're hungover. SEXY.

In 'n Out once a month. I love In 'n Out, but it is a bit high in the fat, salt and calories.

Otherwise, I only eat at Burger King or McDonald's or the like if I am starving to death and there is no good alternative available. At least you always know exactly what you are going to get.

I eat a much healthier diet nowadays, and I am not drawn to fast foods, except the In 'n Out cheeseburgers, with onions, of course. No more milkshakes though, just the Diet Coke.

I totally love In & Out too Maven!!! They really are what a hamburger's all about........But none here on the East Coast....

I sure do miss them & would probably have a hard time not visiting it at least once a month if they were here.....guess I'm better off then! How do you stay strong around them?

About the foodcourt thing and the line to McDonalds is very long and the other places don't even have one customer....it's cheaper and I would rather have it then the disgusting Chinese Express (that food has been sitting under a hot lamp ALL DAY! It's dry, dry, dry! Also I don't like fish, or that nasty pizza place, the Hawaiin bar-b-que takes forever and is expensive, also don't wan't a hotdog that's been spinning under a lamp all day either. But I do get disgusted when I see a parent feeding their overweight child french fries and soda with their burger. They do have milk and apples now!

Anyways, I don't think fast food is bad to eat, I do not eat the fries. A hamburger has everything healthy (bread, vegatables, and meat!) I do like Taco Bell too, I think that is rather healthy. Also KFC is good, you get mashed potatoes, cole slaw, etc.

Ally S · Kate Spade

Fast food does a number on me. I'd rather go out and eat in a real place or brown bag it. Plus it is SO damned gross, at least to me.

I would just like to say that the power of suggestion is terrible. now i want a hamburger :( on a similar note, a friend of mine's myspace picture features her holding a fried chicken leg. that always makes me want popeye's too. *sigh* why can't i love celery the way i love popeye's spicy seasoning and grease?

LoL I am totally craving Wendy's right now. I guess I fall into the bad eating habit group, I eat fast food like 2-3 times per week. My only consolation is that I get diet soda or iced tea, but I know its still horrible for me. I even watched super-size me, and it didn't do anything to my craving.
