Do you eat out more than three times a week?
If you answered yes to this question then eating out has become a part of your lifestyle and chances are, you have a poor diet and are spending a ton of money on eating out. This is also the case if you eat lots of frozen foods like chicken nuggets and pizza, or canned foods like Chef boyardee on a regular basis. Most of these types of foods are very high in sodium and full of unhealthy preservatives AND they are also expensive!
You are probably sitting there saying, but i order from the healthy part of the menu. Negative! Don’t believe everything you read on a restaurant menu. There is a very good chance, that those ‘healthy’ choices are cooked in the same reused oil as the rest of the food or that they are made with ingredients that are processed and not fresh. Bottom line we really don’t have any control over these factors, which can contribute to health related issues and poor diet when we eat out.
