Fast Food Diet

I am a big fan of Doctor Oz lately. Here is what I think is one of the most real diets I have ever heard of. It's so doable.

This diet uses the same parameters as Dr. Oz’s Ultimate Diet, including 1500 calories daily, a maximum of 15 grams of saturated fat, and 5-6 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
Here are the fast food options.

BREAKFAST
Eighty percent of people who lose weight and keep it off eat breakfast every day.

Starbucks
•Egg white, spinach and feta wrap
•Coffee
•An apple
Dunkin Donuts
•Egg white, turkey sausage or veggie flat bread
•Coffee
•A banana
McDonald’s
•Two Egg McMuffins – Remove the English muffins, and eat with knife and fork.
•Coffee
• A piece of fruit
Subway
•Egg white with veggies on wheat bread

LUNCH/DINNER
Make sure to opt for water instead of soda. Don’t let sugary drinks sabotage your diet.

Subway
•6-inch ham, turkey, chicken, or roast beef sandwich on wheat or 9 grain bread (Add lots of veggie toppings to up your vegetable intake.)
Manchu Wok
•Kung pao chicken and order of mixed veggies (Avoid white rice; ask for brown rice instead.)
McDonald’s
•Premium Grilled Chicken Classic sandwich with extra lettuce and tomato (Remove the bread and eat with knife and fork.)
•Two grilled honey mustard or chipotle chicken snack wraps (Again, ditch the wrap and eat with knife and fork.)
•Add side salad to any meal
Wendy’s
•Ultimate Chicken Grill with extra lettuce and tomato (Eat without the bun.)
•Side order of small chili
Taco Bell
•Two bean burritos, fresco style
•Two fresco chicken or steak hard tacos with a side of fresco pinto beans
Burger King
•Double Whopper Junior with extra lettuce and tomato (Take off bun and eat with knife and fork.)
•Side of apple fries
Papa John’s Pizza
•Two slices of Garden Fresh pizza on whole wheat thin crust
•One slice of garden fresh pizza on whole wheat crust with 1 whole wheat breadstick dipped in pizza sauce
KFC
•Grilled chicken breast with two of the below sides:
•Side salad with no croutons and fat free ranch dressing
•Green beans
•Corn on the cob
Chipotle
•Taco salad with chicken or steak, fresh tomato salsa, hot sauce (optional), guacamole, add black or pinto beans if desired (NOTE: Avoid the salad dressing because it has 260 calories and 700 mg sodium. The guacamole, juices from the meats, and salsa should give the salad enough “sauce.” Ask for extra salsa if you want more flavor.)

SNACKS
Starbucks
•Chicken on flatbread with hummus artisan snack plate
•Handful of roasted almonds
•Deluxe fruit blend salad
Subway
•10 oz cup of soup. Try any of the following: chicken tortilla, chipotle chicken corn chowder, fire roasted tomato orzo, minestrone, roasted chicken noodle, rosemary chicken and dumpling, Spanish style chicken and rice with pork, tomato garden veggie w/ rotini.
McDonald’s
•Fruit and walnut salad
•Apple dippers
KFC
•Sargento light string cheese
