What Happens One Hour After Eating a Big Mac

Is It Worth It? 


This is a fantastic graphic that lays it all on the line.  No matter what you order, no matter what fast food chain you frequent, it all affects you negatively.  

Beth Warren, author of Living a Real Life With Real Food in respons to our Infographic: "While the infographic is surprising, it paints a fairly accurate picture. It’s not one ingredient that is a concern, but a lot of different reasons to take caution when eating a Big Mac,” she says." 

What do you guys think of this?  Personally I gave up fast food chains when I was 22.  I had joined Weight Watchers to lose those pesky college pounds.  What I learned there is that one combo meal had more fat content and sodium content than what I should be taking in for an entire day!! It just wasn't worth it.  To the point, it always left me hungry and licking the salt off the greasy wax paper the burgers came in.  

If you can't give it up permanently, cut down your trips until you're going so infrequently that you realize your belly hurts after you eat from eating these belly bombers.  

Do it for you.  
Do it for your health.
