Published: February 08, 2010

It might sound absurd that weight loss is possible by eating fast food but with slight restrictions, it is possible. It is specially designed for people who love the tasty fast food and also for those who look for convenient eating.

The Fast Food Diet is a six-week program with some of the healthiest selections of food from restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is all about choosing healthy fast food from the wide range offered in the restaurant menu. But at the same time it does not allow you to eat fried food, french fries or drink sweetened soda. As part of this flexible diet plan, dieters can enjoy grilled chicken sandwiches, baked potatoes, fruit parfaits, chilli and junior burgers. It is easy to follow the Fast Food Diet plan by setting a target of 1500 calories each day and dividing this into 3-4-5 programs. This program involves the consumption of 300 calories at breakfast, 400 at lunch and 500 calories in dinner. The remaining 300 calories go in for snacks to fight hunger at regular intervals.

By following this well-planned fast food plan; the dieters can easily shed the extra kilos. The basic premise outlined in the fast food diet makes sure that dieters consume only 20% of fast food as part of their daily diet combined with 80% of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and low-fat dairy. If the dieters follow this plan religiously for a year, they can lose up to 50 pounds in a year by making smart eating choices. Following plan is advisable for all those who consider the Fast Food Diet program:

Breakfast: Egg McMuffin
Morning snack: Apple
Lunch: Skinless roast chicken sandwich, corn on the cob and greens
Afternoon snack: Trail mix
Dinner: Pasta with tomato sauce, salad with non fat dressing and grilled salmon
