We all crave unhealthy food from time to time. While it is okay to indulge your cravings every so often, you should always be sure to make the right decisions when picking what to eat. For many of us, our guilty pleasure cravings are meals from fast food restaurants. When ordering from fast food restaurants, you should make sure to pay close attention to what you pick. It is true that most menu items are on the unhealthier side, but there are some that are worse for you than others.
A lot of people try to indulge their fast food cravings by mainly sticking to sides instead of full meals. But this method can be a lot worst for you than you might think. In fact, ordering fries from a drive-through might be the most unhealthy decision you could make.
You should avoid ordering fries from fast food restaurants because eating this side frequently can slow down your metabolism, and ultimately cause weight gain.
On the surface, fries seem like a more harmless option than others on the menu, because their main ingredient is potatoes. But the truth is that they are also made with a lot of high fat ingredients that can ruin your metabolism.
Fries from fast food restaurants are most often made with trans fats, which are directly linked to slower metabolisms and weight gain.
