I get really annoyed when I hear people say that you need to eliminate fast food from your diet to be healthy. Aside from the fast food that I’ve figured out how to prepare at home and take with me, from time to time I definitely depend on certain types of restaurant fast food to survive in our hectic lives.
I’ve mentioned several of my favorite nationwide fast food chains in The Good Mood Diet book. Subway tops my list, along with Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. These restaurants all offer options that can fit the Good Mood lifestyle.
Local Asian restaurants are some of our favorite take-out food. From sushi to pho, it’s fast, everyone finds something that they like, and we can always find seafood and vegetables that are incredibly well prepared. In the case of pho, it’s also remarkably inexpensive.
So while I’m writing this blog this evening my kids are enjoying a wonderful bowl of chicken soup pho; one with chicken, one with tofu, and mine with seafood (my husband will have his after his drum lesson this evening).
It’s easy, it’s healthy, and everybody’s happy.
Yours in a Fast Food Mood,
