Time for some healthy fast food (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images)
Fast food is very unhealthy. We all know that. But somehow when it comes to controlling a craving, we fail, again and again.
Other than a few things here and there like watching programmes on the dangers of fast food regularly and learning to cook, Nutritionist Namrata Desai suggests a few more tips. "Unfortunately there is no healthier substitute for junkies.
But taking a few precautions can always help us," she says, adding, "Eat in moderation and keep a balance. Stuff your diet regime with plenty of vegetables and work out regimes. In this way whenever you feel like having some junk food, you can do it with ease and less guilt. Moderation is the key. Craving comes only when you completely deprive yourself of what you like.
You can also go for baked, grilled and roasted alternatives. Trust me a grilled piece of chicken tastes much better than deep fried. Getting the perfect combination also plays a very important role. Like go for grilled salads filled sandwich or a whole wheat bun for a burger stuffed with a patty that's sauteed on pan. Choose low fat cheese instead of normal cheese and you can get what you want- high in taste but low in calories."
So next time you look at a burger, don't deprive your taste buds of it. Head back home and make a better burger, which is not just tastier but healthier too. Staying fit is easy, if you know your alternatives well. And you thought chucking the guilt was tough!
