What not to eat?

I know anything in moderation is ok but are there certin things that should totally be avoided. some doctors say not to eat fast food at all and some say its ok. im confused
Answer:
if you're eating fast food daily that's not exactly in moderation is it!? well the best thing to remember that if you eat anything in excess it will be converted to fat and stored; eating a balanced diet according to your height, current weight, activity level, gender, and age, you can pretty much eat anything you want and you can offset that day or the next day. i have fast food 1x a week and i try to stick to the grilled chickens rather than battered or fried anything. Complex carbs, healthy fats from nuts, dairy and the like, and protein in moderation 6 times a day is healthier than eating 3 large meals a day with portion sizes more than what our bodies need, which (even i) people have a tendancy of making that mistake.

fast food is bad. Period. My friend ate fast food atleast twice a week, and then decided not to. She didn't diet in any other way except cutting out fast food, and she lost 30 pounds in a year. I personally, do not eat it at all either, and I recently worked at a fast food restraunt, and believe me if you saw what they did to the food there you wouldn't eat it ever.

Try avoiding things with Hydrogenated ingredients in them, and try avoiding things with too much fat. For example, there are 2 kinds of fat on the Nutrition Facts label, and add those 2 percentages up. It really depends on what it is if your're deciding if it's too much, though. As for the doctor thing, if you excersise for about 30 minutes per day, and usually eat healthy, then once in a while you should be ok eating fast food. I would say not more than once a week. Also, eat snacks that have about or less than 100 calories and get your veggies and blah blah blah. Visit www.canadasfoodguide.ca for more info. (You can plan your own meals based on age, gender, etc.)

from what i understand, you can eat what you want. but calories as well as fat, sugar, and sodium all play a part and what you gain and what you don't. and yes, moderation is the key to almost all foods. it would be in your best interest to stay away from fast food. a number 1 from mcdonalds is usually about half your calories if not more for one day. but if you're dieting, treating yourself doesn't hurt. if you've done nothing all week but had good food for your diet and want to give yourself a treat, then get something from a fast food restuarant. but still be good to your diet. like go to wendys, order your hamburger but with a side salad instead and tea, lemonade or powerade instead of coke. moderation is the key. but it is good to stay away from it all if you can. not to mention, if you know how many calories are in your meal, then you can figure out how long to stay on the treadmill until you've burn them off.
