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.

Fig Pudding Shakeology Recipe

I love Figs!!! I've had them sitting in my fridge this week and they're so fresh. I love when they are in season.  When we used to travel to my husband's grandparents' home in Croatia we used to have figs everyday picked right off the fig trees (in the neighbor's yard LOL!).  I love fig with prosciutto but I'm making a SERIOUS effort to stay away from my beloved Italian and Spanish cold cuts for awhile.  *sigh*

Anyways ~ I normally put coffee in my shake.  Today I had the coffee after my yoga class and wanted to fortify my Shakeology.  Figs in Shakeology? YES PLEASE!

Fig Pudding Shakeology
1 scoop Chocolate Vegan Shakeology
6 Figs
1 TBSP Marcona Almonds
(these are Spanish almonds you can use nuts of your choice)
1/2 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
1cup Water
Cinnamon (I like a lot of spice)
Ice (I don't like a lot of ice)

ENJOY!!
