Low Carb Fast Food
Losing Body Fat
In my job, I am always driving. Unless I could find low carb fast food, there would be no way I could stay on the diet.
When I first started following the Atkins weight loss diet, I figured that there was no way I could find low carb fast food. After all, fast food is all about burgers, tacos, and other high starch meals. To me, a burger and fries is the best meal when you're on the go, but there is no such thing as a low carb Big Mac!
What I didn't realize at the time was that low carb diets have been around for so long that the fast food industry has already adapted. Yes, you can find low carb fast food! Sometimes, it's just a simple matter of modifying an existing meal. Many fast food restaurants will allow you to order a burger without the bun, often substituting cottage cheese or some other high protein addition. Other ones actually have a whole low carb menu dedicated to people who are trying to cut carbs out of their diets.
It is true that low carbohydrate food definitely limits your meal options at many restaurants – especially fast food ones. The first time I went to McDonald's after switching to a low carb diet, I was in for a real disappointment. I have enjoyed their hamburgers and french fries for years, and being unable to eat them was a major blow. There was one thing that I wanted there, and I couldn't have it. Still, I was able to compromise, making up for the absence of bun and fries by adding bacon to my cheeseburger. All in all, I still got a tasty meal, and I was able to stick with my diet. Since then, I haven't been shy about asking for low carb fast food. If you have dietary restrictions, you have to speak up. The servers will surely honor your requests.
When I started following a low carb diet, I was a bit dismayed at the difficulty I would have maintaining it. Everyone wants to be able to cook their own healthy food, but for some of us it is just not an option. I might have time to prepare a nutritious low carb dinner now and then, but in general my Atkins diet food will have to be eaten on the go.
