Day 57 - Fast Food Diet Blog

Today I want to talk about a final blog that I found that focuses on fast food called the Fast Food Diet Blog. The blog itself is actually divided into a couple of sections; including Diet Advice, Food and Nutrition, Fast Food, and more.

Within the Fast Food section, the site offers different kinds of sources of information on fast food, such as news articles, polls, and articles about food trends.

In one of their more recent articles, the Fast Food Diet Blog talked about an article discussing customers of fast food restaurants going back to buy the food even after having a heart attack. The article itself states that many people actually go back to eating fast food at least once per week right after having a heart attack!

For more information on fast food news and poll outcomes dealing with fast food, I recommend giving this site a visit and reading some of the information they post on the blog.

Exercise: This weekend I am on vacation in Traverse City, visiting Aaron's grandparents who live there. While I brought my yoga mat, a video, and good intentions with me… I didn't get to a workout today. I probably won't tomorrow just as a heads up. If you are looking for a workout today, I suggest getting a good bike ride in at the gym! Try seeing how far you can go in a 45 minute ride.

Eat: Here's today's tip out of "What to Eat": compare apples to apples (and chicken to chicken). Cooking Light suggests that when shopping for products like produce or meat to look at the weight of the products and their prices accordingly. They say to make sure to compare "pound to pound and serving to serving". Sometime you can get a way better deal that will feed more for less. For example, buying skinless boneless chicken can be pretty pricey (about $7.50 for a package containing just over a pound of meat that will feed two to three people) versus a whole chicken (about $3.50 for all of it, or $1.28 a pound and will feed up to four people along with making chicken stock and soup)!

Relax: Today I got together with friends and their family to watch a couple movies together. It was the perfect way to spend some relaxing time with company… especially on a snowy Saturday.
