You have had a delicious, yet healthy meal and are feeling pleased with yourself for turning down the bacon double cheeseburger that had been calling your name for broiled fish and steamed veggies.
And then, the torture device rolls into view, a dessert cart laden with trays of your favorite hot fudge sundae, apple pie, and cheesecake. With just the sight of it, you instantly devour everything and feel your stomach grumbling for more. That is a typical fast food situation. And that is one of the typical reasons why fast food obesity is on the rise.
Among the most alarming conditions of obesity nowadays, fast food obesity is speedily becoming a trend, especially in the United States. Who could resist those mouth-watering grilled hamburgers, french fries, and sundaes? Besides, as what most people say, these foods are high-energy sources. So what is wrong with eating foods that will boost one´s energy?
You think they are right? Guess again.
These people do not know that fast foods are jam-packed with innumerable calories. The concept of acquiring more energy through fast foods provides a negative idea. What they do not know is that whenever they eat fast foods, their bodies devour more calories than what their bodies require.
Food experts say that the mechanism and structure of the human body is not specially designed to deal with the high-energy concentration foods such as those purchased at the fast food centers. And because they are readily available anytime, anywhere, fast foods had suddenly become one of the most typical meals of every American. Hence, the growth of fast food obesity cases is inevitable.
When Temptation Strikes
For some people, fast food obesity requires a major shift in their perception of food. If you see fast foods as instant reward system, a comfort when you are feeling down, or a symbol of love for your family, you need to develop positive replacements for it. Food is fuel; and while your tank will take a little fast food, look at the quantity and quality of what you are filling up on analytically rather than emotionally. Studies show that it only takes a small amount of fast food to increase one´s ˆcalorie intake.˜ The problem with most people is that eating fast foods has already become their way of life. Whenever they want to meet their friends, they go for fast foods. Whenever they want to talk after watching a movie, they go for fast foods.
Social events like these that are all centered on eating can offer a whole new set of challenges for people who really wish to lose weight. So what do you have to do now? Here´s how:
1. Eat less, exercise more
If you really cannot help avoid eating fast foods on an instant, it is okay. Just keep in mind to eat less every time you order some fries. And to make your weight more bearable, exercise more.
Fast food obesity is mostly due to lack of exercise while taking excessive high-energy density fast foods. Calories just continue to build up as people continue to devour one hamburger after another without even trying to walk around the parking lot before driving home. 2. Alternative solutions
Since fast food is the primary culprit, it would be better if the manufacturers of fast food chains should serve fewer foods that are jam-packed with high-energy density foods. They should serve more foods that promote ˆhealthy eating.˜ The bottom line is that if people want to combat fast food obesity, it is important that they do not just trade one harmful meal for a different combination but still promotes unhealthy eating such as fast foods.
