Classical Conditioning - Food we like to eat

After noting in our blog that there are millions of people who are considered obese in America my team decided to look up ways to take steps toward a healthier lifestyle while still enjoying some of the "not so great" foods we all love. Over consuming chain restaurants are one of the leading reasons why our population of Americans are the most obese in the world, but there are still pro-choices. As noted in the article, "America's Best - and Worst! - Restaurants," sticking with these healthy chain choices will cut 10 pounds of "unnecessary" fat per year. Coming in at number one is Chick-Fil_A with the score of an A. Number two and three are Subway and Boston Market with the scores of A- and B+. Here are some pointers noted in the article that will satisfy even the unhealthiest eater, all the while satisfying their body!

Chick-Fil-A: Even the smartest kid in the class can still fail a test, so be on your toes at all times even at Chick-Fil-A. Skip salads with ranch or Caesar dressings, any sandwich with bacon, and avoid milkshakes at all costs.
Subway: Cornell researchers have discovered a "health halo" at Subway, which refers to the tendency to reward yourself or your kid with chips, cookies and large soft drinks because the entree is healthy. Avoid the halo and all will be well.
Boston Market: There three simple steps to nutritional salvation, 1) Starts with turkey, sirloin or rotisserie chicken 2) Add two non creamy, non starchy vegetable sides 3) Ignore all special items such as pot pie and nearly all of the sandwich.

Another amiable and realistic way to reverse obesity is to take small steps and change bad habits. Here is a link to a video that gives you tips to actually avoiding fast food. For example, the first pointer given is to bring your lunch three days a week therefore reducing the amount of fast food intake. Also, they tell you when ordering kids meals, choose milk and fruit as a substitute for soda and fries!
Cheers to a healthier you!
