Healthy Fast Food


Are you craving for fast food cuisine? If yes, here are some tips that you could do to make healthy fast food choices:


* Pizza may actually be a good choice for people with type 2 diabetes; just be sure to order the thin-crust type and top it with vegetables rather than high-fat meats and extra cheese.


* Tacos, burritos, and wraps can be tasty and permissible in your diet; when possible, ask for whole-wheat tortillas, and avoid any entrees that are fried.


* Look for fast-food places that offer salad bars. These can be good for you, as long as you limit the amount of salad dressing you use and don’t load up on high-fat salad ingredients, like cheeses.


* Keep an eye out for various healthy-diet special menu items. Some restaurants offer foods lower in cholesterol, fat, and sodium, and higher in fiber. Many offer reduced-calorie salad dressings, low-fat or fat-free milk, and salt substitutes.
