Don't buy into the Fast Food hype

6 solid reasons why we think you should stay well clear of the marketing hype... Fast food is highly processed and generally contains these pretty unpleasant things that you should avoid :

1. Trans Fats - The hidden killer & the real cause of heart disease and high cholesterol.
2. Artificial additives - Sweeteners & flavor enhancers have been linked to certain cancers. These are found in drinks, sauces & toppings.
3. Reconstituted meat - 100% meat does not mean the best lean cuts of meat. More often the high fat waste cuts that are pulped to make your burgers
4. Processed carbohydrates - Fries, white breads and baked goods use highly refined flours with added fat, salt & sugar that have little or no nutritional value
5. Processed sugars - High levels are found in milk shakes, sodas and baked goods. These have little or no nutritional value
6. Calories - The overwhelming cause of obesity is consuming more calories than you burn over an extended period of time. Fast foods are some of the most high-calorie foods out there, so if you want to lose weight, stay away!
