MacReady Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Team haven’t eaten a fast food burger in 20 years because none of it is real meat and none of it tastes very good at all anyway. If I’m going to eat a burger, I’m going to make it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't purchase any animal products. But Culvers was always my fast food stop when I wanted it. Now I'll hit up Taco Bell occasionally (decent vegan options) or the Impossible Whopper if I'm craving a burger. Which is really good, too, but expensive. Otherwise my meat is limited to venison I shoot and fish I catch. But man I do crave Culvers sometimes still... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatZepp Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It’s crazy that fast food burgers cost the same and frequently more than a good pub burger at a local joint with a chef that actually cares 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they forgot people eat their crap because it's cheap, not because it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The price of fast food has gone crazy. I eat out for most every lunch and with how the costs are, I find it better and easier to go to the grocery store and make myself a great salad for $8.00 as opposed to dropping the same money on a bad fast food meal that will make me feel awful. And I'm down 9.3 pounds in 10 days after making the switch. And since I'm doing more salads and better things for lunch, the home meals are now better, too. Lean turkey, chicken breast and fish with one potato and a bunch of veggies. Took about 4 days of eating this way for me to notice a change in my body. A lot of my aches and pains went away. Not all, because I still have a very arthritic hip that needs to be replaced, but that hip pain has gone from like a constant 6 to a constant 3. I'd really like another 20 pounds off before May, so we shall see how this goes. I know I won't lose like this for very long, so my guess is that soon it'll be 1-2 pounds/week if I'm diligent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back, I was a little shocked by how much better my knees felt after lowering my weight from 210(ish) to 180(ish). It seems obvious in hindsight, but it never even crossed my mind that weight was a big factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Bahktiari knee after multiple surgeries for scar tissue/ meniscus/ cartilage issues at 300+ pounds. Big part of why i can't see him being in GB in 2024.

So I get where that really helped you, but that isn't what is making me feel better. Getting away from processed "foods" and sugars while replacing them with whole foods including fruits and veggies is what I feel has helped. Hand to God I feel like the smoothies with blueberries are helping the most. Anti-inflammatory fruits. No doubt everything will continue to feel better as I lose more weight. The difference in how I feel so far is just crazy. And really I have the rising price of fast food to thank for it. (Though I did do Culvers this afternoon. Grilled Chicken sandwich, only half a bun with half an order of regular fries.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
