You might have promised yourself that you'll never eat fast food again so that you can shed pounds, maintain your weight loss or simply stay healthier. But making an all-or-nothing resolution like that is just setting yourself up for failure. For instance, what if you're on a road trip and fast food chains are the only places in sight?
The key to successful weight loss is not avoiding all fast food, but making the right fast food choices. Try downsizing your meal to a kids' size with water or a diet soda, which will cut your indulgence to a more respectable 400 or 500 calories. Or choose the healthiest items on the menu, with items omitted or on the side, like a salad with dressing on the side or a grilled chicken sandwich with no cheese or sauce.
If you still find yourself craving fast food, have what you crave as a treat once in a while so you don't feel like you might lose control and overindulge.
