The Drive-Thru Diet by Taco Bell

Anyone else think the name of this diet is comical?

No diet should ever have the words 'drive-thru' in it..

Ooooo America, your laziness continues to amaze me.

Please don't look at this thin-appearing, taco eatin' lady and think melted cheese & beef from a cardboard box is good for you (and should be eaten every day). I beg of you!

This lady cut 500 calories out of her daily intake, and cutting calories in any form will lead to weight loss over time.
But is that necessarily healthy?
By eating the same ol' thing every day, you're likely lacking nutritients you'd get from eating a well-rounded diet.
Not to mention, god knows where they really get their beef & chicken from.

Why even go there 'once in a while' and support a system that has contributed to the obesity epidemic ? (not the sole contributor).

I have to give Taco Bell props though, they are quite clever in the advertising scheme of things, and us America's eat this stuff up (figuratively and literally).

We'll do anything to lose weight besides the 2 things that are proven over and over and over, (and over) to work: Exercise and HEALTHY eating.
God forbid we have some fruits and vegetables every once and while.

Take home message:
 Don't go to taco bell every day if you want to lose weight in a healthy way.



PS. Wanna know the average amount of salt in the fresco items per one burrito or taco?

          908 gm (gaaaaaross).

PSS: I can't support a fast food joint that offers the 'fourth meal'.


PSSS: I know what I'm being for halloween next year.
