I'm working at an netcafe, for some time now, and I got a little bit more fat than I wish, and I'm tring to quit all the junk food, but don't know really what to eat at work. I mean HOW can you not eat this stuff.. they are REALLY REALLY good! ahm and to top of all that, i'm soda-addicted... so pff.. you can imagine that! I'm like 1,70 allmost and 95kg.. :-S

Don't eat it for a month or three, and you'll be nauseous every time you walk by a McDonald's or other fast food joint. I used to love me some Wendy's, but I stopped eating it when I stopped working. My parents still eat it and the smell makes mewant to gag. There's so much stuff out there that's good and even smells good! As for the sodas, I can't say much there. If you want to lose weight, maybe switch to a diet drink? I love my soda, so I know what you mean.

It's real easy for Me,there isn't one of the chain fast food places closer than 10 miles away! Also,the closer ones aren't that close either,so it takes a determined effort to go buy takeout,so more often than not,I'll cook at home..I still like the Occasional Chinese or Indian Meal..Pizza..Fish'n Chips..Mmmmmmm..One thing..try and cut down on the sodas!

Junk food is not good for you I have just started on the Atkins. Drinking soda is something I have in common with you. I drink a bottle of diet coke every day. At the moment I cannot exercise due to having a torn cartilage.

Its not where you eat, Its what you eat. Most fast food Joints have salads now, and they will serve you a glass of water for free. You will save money and lose weight at the same time. Sure the stuff tastes good to you because your tastebuds are addicted. Lets face it here and Now- you have to make up your mind-you can't have it both ways!

maybe if you eat more healthful foods before you go you will not be hungry.Another thing you could do is to keep gum in your mouth at all times that time you wont be tempted to stick the fattenig stuff in your mouth.

When I used to work it was really hard for me to find food to eat. It was cheaper to go to mcdonalds and get a $1 double cheese burger than it was to get a salad or to even buy a lunch at a grocery store and bring it to work. So what I would do is really try to fight that soda addiction first. Switch to diet or iced tea without sweetner. Then try to exercise. If money isn't an issue, then maybe you could try things like yogurt, salad, veggies, cheese, etc.

One way out for this can be eating lots of green salads when you feel hungry. These would give you the contents which our body needs on a daily basis without adding fat to your body. Drinking a glass of water when hungry also helps in reducing the actual quantity you eat thereby restricting one's intake.

Not a problem, I prefer eating food to McVomits or equivalent. They must put something in it that kills taste buds otherwise customers would just vomit. all the best urban

I know right? Everyone knows that fast food is bad and fatty but it's hard to avoid these. I try to eat at restaurants and at home most of the time. But there are times when I really crave something like fried chicken and I want the real thing so I just head over the KFC.

There is still hope.. First of all, you can eat healthy more often, there are enough sandwich places out there. You may not know the best diet: eat less. So when you get fast food, eat less. Or take a salad with your burger rather than fries. After some time, your stomach adjusts to the new quantity and you don't feel so hungry after eating less.

That food is good and simple to eat at work time ,but it does add on the lbs and has for me by eating all the wrong types of food.The first thing you wanna try to do is drink diet pop. diet juice,and water that will help out a whole bunch .If you do get the take out go for subway and something that is grilled .I actually like the taste much better .It takes awhile for all that food and urges to get out of the system . If at all possible you can bag a lunch with a sandwhich ,fruit and some wheat snack .

i usually bring my own food to work... i just want to save money and bringing my own food help me to save money... it is cleaner and healthier for me as well... so i can only suggest that you try to bring your own food from home and try to avoid those fast food restaurants... they might taste good... but they are not good for your health in long term... take care and have a nice day...

Try making your own food. I'm sure the cooking (interest) part of Mylot has some great recipes. The food does taste really good, but think about the products that they use. It's not top grade meat and such. It's hard, but you have to push yourself into not eating that stuff. Once in a while it's alright to eat it.
