**** yeah man. All I did was stop eating fast food and drinking regular soda and Ive dropped 17lbs since January 1st. The only exercize I get is 10minutes on a bike to get my blood flowing and 1 to 1 1/2 hours of weight lifting. Not exactly a weight loss regiment.

Nice to know there are other fatass/ex fatasses out there like me who were able to pull through it. At first it was really tough but I'd say after week 2, its a piece of cake. It really is a lifestyle change more than anything else.

Im not quite a full pant size yet but I've gone down a notch or two on my belt.

I saw it about 3 days after I decided to started dieting, it was a good thing I saw it too.....just absolutely disgusting to be honest

The only fast food I eat now is Chick Fil A and Subway

we had a who section in last ur's english class devoted to advertisting and the effect, the sandwhichs are not real, they are fake and painted to get the shine they get

I wish it would have been around when I was in middle school. Hell, it was around when I was in highschool, I dont know why they didnt show it then. It woulda changed my life a lot had I seen it sooner.

They can "doctor" the food up.

Such as using lipstick to make fruit look more ripe.

Stuff like that, certain lighting techniques and everything.

I need to quit eating out I've gained a lot of weight in the last year.

When I was just drinking beer and working out constantly I was a buff 180lbs now I'm like 240 and flabby.

I eat subway a lot, but I also eat fastfood (other joints) a lot too. I could list a bullshit bunch of excuses why but basically I've gotten very lazy.

Need to shape it up and get back into a workout routine and eat right.

the burgers aren't real in any sort of concrete form, however your perceptions of their physical form are real.

Nonetheless, the burgers are not real outside of your perception.

the burgers in commercials are real they just cook them sooo much differently so that they look perfect, they are also able to pick from hundreds of different buns, pieces of meat, lettuce...everything so that it looks perfect. When cooking the meat they only cook the parts that are visible and not on a grill they do it with a torch or something. But its all the same stuff. I'm a manager at mcdonalds so i hear alot of this stuff. And subway is no better for you then a big mac meal. a meatball sub from subway has like 1k calories. Some people just don't have self control. Personally i can't eat fast food anymore cuz i'm sick of being around it so i guess working there helps me

Are you kidding me? Subway is a lot better than mcdonalds.

Typical McDonalds meal

Big Mac

540 Calories

29g fat

Med Fries

380 Calories

20g fat

Med Coke

210 calories

Total

1130 Calories

49g fat

What I get from subway

6" Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki

370 Calories

5g fat

Large Diet Coke

0 Calories

Total

370 Calories

5g fat

If you get the 12", you're still better off than going to McDonalds and you'll be a hell of a lot fuller.

Fast food burgers won't harm you, but the greasy fries will //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

its a real sandwhich but they add/cut alot of extra stuff to it. Like they put a thin piece of cardboard between the letice and buns so it doesnt get all soggy. And they cut the meat and spread it a little so it looks jucier and bigger. The ones with the little sesame seeds they actually place them specificly and add more. There's a buncha other stuff but i dont remeber them all. One of my teachers gave a discussion about it in my health class.
But all in all its a real sandwhich/burger

I saw that on TV too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif They're sneaky bastards they are.
