Fat 2 Fit Show #15 – Fast Food and Dieting Detours
Written on January 18, 2008 – 1:25 am | by Jeff Ainslie
In this show, we cover how to survive in a Fast Food world. In a perfect world, everyone would always have nutritious meals handy and would never need to eat Fast Food. In reality, there will always be times when you will have no choice but to eat at these restaurants. We discuss how to eat out and not blow your diet, and give tips and advice on the best and worst things to eat.
In our comments and email section, we answered an email from Jon who was looking for an easier running program to get started, Farah asked us about what we though about the “Eat Clean Diet”, and a short listener profile from Karen.
Jeff’s first news item dealt with a picture that showed an MRI photo of an obese person vs a person of a healthy weight. It is quite an amazing picture and you can see how fat crowds internal organs. We then moved on to a lengthy article which dealt with a wide range of possible dieting detours and their solutions. Russ found a cool website that will tell you how much activity you need to do to lose one pound of fat. You enter your weight and then choose from a wide variety of activities and it tells you how long you need to do that activity.

Tom Stewart » All my life, while attending movies, I bought popcorn, a diet soda, and JuJuBes. But they weren’t Ju-Jubes, they were Ju-Ju-Bes. I’m putting this one in the regional dialect file. Of course I’ve heard of Jujubes! Thanks Tom.

I am a new listener of your podcast, and I love it! I do have a question though. I have been trying to stick to a 1500 to 1800 calorie diet while doing cardio and light weight lifting 5 days a week. I feel better and have a bit more energy, but the weight is coming off VERY slowly. I calculated my BMR and it’s 2100. Will I actually make more progress by eating 2100 calories and exercising, than eating 1500 to 1800 calories and exercising?
Thanks!

@Jim Borman: Yeah, definitely. I’ve done the same thing. These canned programs tend to go too fast. I hurt my knee while doing the Couch to 5K program. It was very aggressive. I’m in no hurry.

There is nothing wrong with eating fat! There’s only something wrong with the lack of exercise which people have – exercise which should burn the fat, and keep the body healthy.
