Fast foods are cooked fastly, without love and care, sometimes they are nice to consume. Homely food is the best food. If you dont have time to cook then better eat at mess.

Yes its not good for you and you will gain weight over a period of time, if you continue to eat fast food. Cooking for one is a big hassle but what I would do is make a few dishes one day and just alternate with the meals. So you are not always eating the fast food. Good luck to you!


myLot reputation of 79/100. velentina (207)   ranked 1,978 out of 11,249 in cooking  7 months ago

I will try to prepare some meals if I can and rarely eat fast food

It depends. You eat a lot of food which contains oil and fat and do not exercise, you are bound to get sick, not to mention the bad health conditions. I eat a lot of fast food too, but I ix em up with a lot of sports and such which makes me crave for home made food. I eat both of them regularly and it helps to keep a balance. It's not that fast food is bad. But too much without a limit can be problematic.

It's ok to fast food when you don't have the time to cook your meals by yourself, but eating fast food too much would lead to serious health conditions (like obesity, having a risk of heart problems and so much more or worse is death) My advice is to eat home cooked meals but if find cooking is such a hassle, you should make a lot of research at the internet for easy healthy meals. Good luck!

Fast food foods are full of cholesterol so that is not advisable to eat, you can eat it but not regularly. With lack of discipline, like lack of exercise we will get some illness by the fats contained in that food. We just have to know what we eat.

I eat out a lot since I am a busy college student who has no time to go home and eat a home made dinner. It is not bad for you as long as you limit your portions and you keep physically active.


myLot reputation of 79/100. velentina (207)   ranked 1,978 out of 11,249 in cooking  7 months ago

Ya I do keep my portion I do not overeat any meal and i do a lot of exercises. Bye have a nice day

Fast foods are good as long as you don't consume them on a daily basis. If your time does not allow you to cook something more elaborate, then the best way to avoid fast foods is by cooking fast foods yourself...I always go for the beef stake, and canned veggies...it works all the time and apart from saving your cholesterol levels, saves you money too. In less than five minutes you can have a fabulous dish without all the unsaturated fats and byproduct you find in the chain production fast food restaurants. Another strategy I use is that of cooking on friday evening before going out...if you are too tired from a long week's work then saturday afternoon makes it for me. All you have to do thoughout the week is to warm up or thaw the food alrealy prepared. It beats the frozen foods you find in the supermarket as those usually are loaded with additives or preservatives...stuff you don't want on your table!

Well in my opinion fast foods are quite not good to our health. Eating a diet consisting largely of fast food could cause your waistline to bulge more than eating the same amount of fat from healthier sources.

Monkeys fed a diet rich in trans-fats commonly found in fast foods grew bigger bellies than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats, but containing the same overall number of calories. They also developed signs of insulin resistance, which is an early indicator of diabetes.

Fast foods always use lot of fat content.fries use loads of oil and pizza and sandwiches use lot of cheese ...and there is no portion control.people always buy some kind of drink to go along with food.soda contains lot of sugar.so it is not at all advisable to eat fast food regularly.

It all depends on what you choose to eat. Meals cooked at home can be just as unhealthy as meals bought at a fst food resturant. If you can afford it and you are making healthy choices at the resturants then it is the same.


myLot reputation of 79/100. velentina (207)   ranked 1,978 out of 11,249 in cooking  7 months ago

Ya you're right I must be careful in choosing my meals which must contain less fat, salt and sugar, thanks for replying
