I have been on a diet for about 4 months now and it has gone great. But it is not really a diet- but more a complete shift in how I eat. I eat lots of small meals a day and cook most of my own food.
But I also eat out a fair amount. Last weekend I even had a cheeseburger at a lake party here in town- but it was "homemade" and not fast food. And it was fine. Plus I still go for wine lunches every 2-3 weeks and that is duck liver pate, cream soups, butter on everything and all. And I can take it.
About 6 weeks ago I was driving to Houston right after a really long swim, and I was starving. I finally gave in and went to McDonald's. The burger tasted like pure salt and oil. I could not even eat the fries. And I had a stomachache for about an hour.
I used to eat fast food 2-3 times a week, sometimes more. I just can't eat it anymore. I can eat cheeseburgers, fries, fried chicken, nachos etc.- but only homemade or at a mid-scale restaurant like Chili's. There is just something in fast food that I physically cannot take.
