4 Fast Food Pit Falls
Tip of the Day

Home Ask Dr. Weil Dr. Weil's Food Pyramid Vitamins & Supplements Condition Care Guide Healthy Recipes Gardening Yoga & Fitness Pets Vitamin Advisor Dr. Weil's Vitamin Packs Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging Weil Juvenon Marketplace	Last week we discussed the best choices to make if you find that you have no alternative to eating fast food. This week, we cover four nutritional pitfalls to avoid when eating at a fast-food restaurant. Opt out of cheese and condiments such as mayonnaise and tartar sauce which can add unnecessary (and unhealthy) calories and fat. Use mustard or vinegar to add flavor as desired. Avoid anything deep-fried. From chicken to potatoes to onions, deep-fried foods contain altered fats that are pro-inflammatory and detrimental to the body. Skip the soda - it has no nutritional value and adds unnecessary calories to an already nutritionally-challenged meal. Order plain water instead. We said it last week and it bears repeating - do not order the largest version of an item, or opt for the "next largest" of anything added to your meal!
