Is it better to not eat or to eat fast food?

Question

I work in a fast food restaurant and I think I'm starting to put on a couple of pounds. I've been working there for about 9 months. I've actually lost 15 lbs... I was going to a gym, but I stopped around 5 months ago.

The reason I went to a gym was because I had man b***s... and still have them but they are a lot less noticeable.

I'm 5'8 and weigh 135.

I'm always scared to eat fast food because I'm scared my stomach is going to stick out... I feel fat every time I eat fast food and my stomach gets bigger.

For about a month I wouldn't eat at work for 6 months, but when I got home, I would eat like a pig.

Any exercises or something I should do? My stomach looks like it's sticking out. And is it better to not eat or to eat fast food?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Most fast food joints offer healthy food choices. Does the place you work at not sell yogurts or apples? I would advise you bring a healthy nut bar with you, a banana and a peanut butter sandwich. Surely you have somewhere you could keep these.

for me it was swimming and cycling.  both are aerobic. heel spurs made walking painful, but i could ride my bike 30 miles a day.  start cycling only a full block, to start. after a few days go further. i mean like  four blocks.  after a few weeks, if you keep it up, you should be able to ride 4-5 miles. in swimming, i like to do lane swimming. this way i can practice my strokes.  when i free swim people bump into me, or i into them. the only dangerous thing about swimming would be if you did not know how to swim.  that would be my husband. but you can't go wrong with swimming and cycling.  in the gym i like to do leg presses. at my thinnest, at 19 years old i was 5'5" and 117 lbs.  fast food is c**p.  it will clog your arteries, make you fat. and they put something in many of the fast foods that make you get addicted to it. it does make you feel bloated and malaise.  i heard on one of the health shows, the other day, people who do alot of fasting tend to live longer healthier lives. their key to living well came in calorie reduced diets, with good fruits and vegetables and fibres and nuts. i like to go on a bing cherry, red grape, blueberry and strawberry diet with nuts.and a small scoop  of full  fat cottage cheese.. with a salad and piece of toast for lunch. and my beverage when i do this, is unsweetened pomagranite juice.  i am now 55 and my cholesterol is 141, that of a marathon runner.  my blood pressure is very nice and stable.  and i am now overweight, in an electric wheelchair from two major car crashes. i never felt more fit and trim than when i was riding my bike and going swimming at the ymca.

Not eating all day, and then binging when you get home is definitely not the way to go. All that will do is slow down your metabolism so that whatever food you DO eat is stored as fat. These days, most fast food restaurants have healthier selections on the menu. Most have at least some sort of salads, and grilled chicken sandwiches. Stay away from the double cheeseburgers, large fry and supersized sodas. Instead, opt for the salads, or grilled (not fried) chicken sandwiches without cheese and mayo, and drink water or diet sodas. I know they taste great but stay away from the french fries.

well not eating and eating fast food are both not healthy...but i think that eating fast food is kinda better cause you have to eat, then you can like excercise to burn it off.
