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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    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

              Basically creates a snapshot of the website at a certain point in time. It also diverts traffic away from the website and onto Archive's servers instead. Not an ultimate fix for this issue, but it helps.

      I recommend simple soups as a good lazy food. Buy what you like together and chop into the pot and cook.
