We don't like to admit it, but fast food is part of our modern life.
So, what do you do if you've decided to go on a low-carb diet and you're pinched for time? Will you risk your diet or take a quick bite in your regular joint? Relax; there is low carb fast food available everywhere.
Fast food restaurants have rightly been blamed for our current obesity problem but it is still possible to make a good choice at your neighborhood take-out.
The rap on these restaurants serving unhealthy meals has caused them to - finally offer healthy food to the consumers.
There are still some other tips that you can follow to modify them into low carbohydrate fast food.
Check the facts Restaurants are now required to make the nutritional values of their food available.
Compare the food available to you and choose the best of the low carb fast food.
You might find some choices that will surprise you! Be sure to check out the salad dressings, especially.
You may think you're making a healthy choice with the salad, only to find out the dressing has outrageous amounts of sugar in it! No choice? Order the dressing on the side and dip your greens and veggies into it instead.
Ditch the bread Order your sandwich without the bread.
Be sure to check the carb counts.
Fried or breaded anything is not a good option with your meal.
Look for grilled protein.
The grilled chicken salad is usually the best low carbohydrate fast food bet.
Feed the bread to the little birdies or the stray dog outside instead.
It'll do both of you a lot of good.
It is a wrap! Order a low carbohydrate food wrap if it's available.
Wraps have much less carbs than bread and more fillings, so you get full and stay full! Again, check that the fillings are grilled or broiled rather than fried.
There's even a zero-carb wrap available that substitutes lettuce for the tortilla.
Opt for the lean protein grilled beef or broiled chicken rather than the crispy fried fish! So, with a little ingenuity, low carb fast food can be found almost anywhere.
