This is the answer that most people give when you ask them about their diet. I realize open ended questions, especially when you first meet someone are often a bad idea. I asked a patient the other day about her diet and after she answered very healthily, I asked her to get more specific. One of the most well known fast food restaurants was on the top of her menu list multiple times per week. She though, well she eats chicken there-and chicken is healthy-think again!

I have not eaten fast food in over two decades. It is not that hard to avoid. It is so awful for your body. When you get into the habit of grocery shopping for whole foods and cooking whole meals itbecomes easier and easier. And, you feel better! You will. Once you change your habits, you will never go back to not taking care of your body again!
