Pepto Bismol (and all products like it) is not meant for the long haul. You won't know it isn't working anymore until you're really not feeling so well at all and can't figure out why. <a href=http://www.drweil.com/u/HC/HCA259/>Dr Weil</a> is good for what ails the gut. If you're up for it, buy all the stuff to make stuff that's like the fast food you like. Spice it up with sauces, salsa, Mrs. Dash, and pepper. (Salt isn't really your friend; how's your blood pressure?) Just as your body has taken issue with fast food, it will also come to acquire a taste for the stuff you make (that mimics the fast food you like). Eventually, real fast food won't taste right. It won't take but about a month of eating your own food or fresh foods (Subway counts, Burger King doesn't!). You'll eat what's in your fridge and might be dissuaded by having to cut stuff up first. If you can afford it, have the deli at your supermarket cut everything up for you. Or, make friends with someone cute that likes to cook -- have them do your prep work. If stuff is already cut up, it's a lot easier to grab-n-go than if you have to take the time to do it each day. Making cooking simple helps. Raw fruits and vegetables (or even just steamed or baked) are easy to gather and prep. You can eat until you're full with no remorse and snack all day long if you want. 341683@blogcritics.org Tue, 28 Mar 2006 06:03:51 EST
