I had no idea how shitty fast food (McDonald’s, KFC etc) was making me feel until I recently gave it up. I’m trying to eat healthier (and vegan-er) so the first thing I did was give up my fast food habit. A few things I found interesting about the process:
-
Holy shit is this hard. I don’t know if I’m just weak-willed or they put some seriously addictive stuff in there but the cravings are almost unbearable.
-
Other than that I feel amazing after only a month. I have more energy, a better mood, my digestive system is better, I look healthier. All this makes the cravings worth it and those are slowly getting less terrible.
I highly recommend giving up fast food.
i’ve always been told they put addictive shit in it. i know the sugary buns of burgers are to make them addictive.
But after cooking all week I’m exhausted and don’t feel like prepping and dicing and baking or whatever. Fast food sucks and is terrible for you but the convenience.
Almost like these cheap and fast food items are purposely loaded with addictive and pacifying chemicals/ingredients for some reason. If only I could remember who said this and where

I very seldom eat fast food, and it makes how wretched it is abundantly clear. If I do break down and get a baconator or something, I feel like I’ve been poisoned. Just completely fatigued.
I used to eat fast food multiple times per week in high school. After I moved to college, I was eating in the dorms and eating take out from local places that were delicious but not national chains. I went to BK as a lark with some friends on a roadtrip and felt in immediately sick afterwards. Queasy, headache, everything.
