[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it’s awesome that you are trying to make some changes. I’d just recommend starting slow. If you do fast food five nights a week, start by making something at home one night, then go from there. Trying to make a lot of big changes at once is setting yourself up for failure. Good luck! You’ll feel better![/quote] 100%. I'm not in the exact same situation as you, OP, but I am trying to improve some things about my already pretty good diet (I am on a medication that causes weight gain and I'd prefer to not gain weight). The kinds of things I'm doing are cutting the amount of olive oil I use when pan frying or sautéing in half (if a recipe says 2TBS, I use one, for example) and snacking on vegetables when I cook instead of the assorted stuff I'd normally snack on. I think incremental change is definitely the way to start because otherwise it just can be depressing. So, if you sub a salad for a burger/fries at Wendy's, that's a great start (and for PP who said that a salad has a lot of sodium, that's true, but no doubt it's less than what she's currently consuming! Someone who primarily eats fast food won't succeed in going from that to plain air fried chicken breasts over night, it's just too drastic). [/quote]
