While considered safe for consumption propylene glycol can be found in antifreeze and sexual lubricants. I thought it sounded familiar
I've eaten my fair share... Accidentally
Welcome back everybody. Oh that was fast, I know hey guys, I'm grace I am Mamrie and this might get fast
We are talking about fast food today. Yes. We are. Are you a fan of fast food?
I don't do it because I don't eat meat. Well you're vegan. So if there was a vegan fast-food restaurant I would be f***ed
When I was in Asia this, over Christmas
They did have like McDonald's like Indian patty burgers and stuff that was vegetarian and that was delicious
I do think America needs to step up their veg game. You heard it here first
Today we're talking about fast food
We're gonna figure out like what is better for you versus other things our perceptions might be kind of off
So we're gonna find out exactly what the truth is
But before I even to that we got some fun facts. The one that I went to first was about salads
Aha about lettuce most fast food restaurants. Do not list the exact ingredients in their lettuce
You wouldn't think that they need to but many places dust their salads with propylene
Glycol to keep the leaves crisp while considered safe for consumption propylene
Glycol can be found in antifreeze and sexual lubricants. I thought it sounded familiar
You know who I wish I had some of that stuff. Who? That burger that we ate
Where y'all post made it in a day early and I ate blindfolded brown lettuce that one got post mated yesterday
You guys are f***ing terrible
You don't leftover lettuce
Lettuce is scary. I think lettuce. Yeah, I think
2018 is the year of scary lettuce
seriously
Apparently eight in ten Americans eat fast food at least monthly and half of them say they eat it
Weekly. More often in my adult life than before but I would say maybe once or twice a month
I assume that it's all really bad and I drink enough to not put that much terrible stuff in my body
All right, I have to find balance
today, we have a professional nutritionist here with us Liz Voosen is here
Hi welcome. Hello Liz
Thanks for coming to the show. good to see you, you as well. We need all of the education we can get because we're idiots
What's your day to day?
So my day to day involves being clients one-on-one mostly okay?
So like if you were to come in to my office
We would look at your health history and we would go over
What would be the desk best diet plan for you? Because what's right for you?
Might not be right for you
Are there any like bad diets happening now that you're like kibosh no way the Master Cleanse I kind of have an issue it
The ten days lemond kind a. The tens days, yes
That seems wildly unhealthy, it sounds like your body's gonna rebound from that in a really terrible way
It's really really hard on the body to go ten days without food, right? It's really hard to go ten minutes
We have some fast food options here and we're gonna try and guess what we assume as plebeians would be the better
Nutritional option and then get your kind of, you know professional opinion on which one is actually the better choice
All right. Sometimes you just have to have food. Sometimes you're on the road and that's the option, right?
So let's fast or pass
First we have a fried chicken sandwich as you can see lettuce tomato a little Mayo. Okay, and
vegetarian pizza, my assumption is the vegetarian pizza because it's got
vegetables on it, right
But I'm also like does the protein in the chicken outweigh the vegetables and the dairy that's happening over there
I automatically assume that the one that isn't deep-fried is healthier
Yeah, so let's go. We're gonna go vegetarian pizza, I think but what's your professional opinion? I would go with the pizza. Okay
Good job pizza
This is fried, so deep fried is pretty much never good
And you guys are right the veggies like they count for vitamins minerals all that good stuff
And there's some protein in the cheese. That's an optimistic way of looking at pizza. That's very very helpful
That's all the optimism that someone needs to be like and I'm getting pizza now because she told me it healthy
Yeah
I really would love for you to help rationalize most of my dinners because ha ha
so we have chicken nachos and we have chili cheese fries and
You audibly groan. Because obviously these are not the best choices. Okay, it feels silly to use the same
Rationale and be like there's salsa
So vegetables also protein there's chicken
But this has beef in it cuz it's chili cheese fries also
I don't know if cheese whiz has the protein that the previous cheese had true true. This has become our most intense conversation
We ever had
Ahh crap. They're both just fried things covered and cheese. I'm going nachos. I am as well. You guys are right on I
This just genuinely pains you to have to choose either one of these
yeah, you're like
I don't want to advocate either one of these but if this is the end of the world and you need food to survive
Yeah, this is this is all fried and it's carbs and this the chips (crisps) are probably fried
But they might be baked if you go out you might get some avocado on it right? Maybe you could
You could dress it up a little
True how would you modify let's say you're ordering nachos in a restaurant
How would you modify it so that you get the healthiest version of nachos? I would go light on the chips (crisps)
Um a good amount of like meat salsa guacamole more toppings less chip
Or if you made them at home you could do with baked chips
And then it wouldn't be so bad. If you did like up to the quality baked chips real cheese
You could make it really actually delicious in almost healthy a burger. It looks like it's got multiple slices of cheese
We got a little onions pickles tomatoes or we've got a salad
Southwest salad, so it's got fried chicken
Probably a ranch and tortilla strips and some cheese these salads are so deceiving because you think that's always a healthy option
But salad dressing servings only like two tablespoons, that's way more than two tablespoons. Right? Enter tablespoons is like 300 calories
I'm gonna say calorically this probably has more I'm saying this is that's healthier the bur..
Ah, yeah, I'm gonna agree with you because you got proteins you got basically the whole food pyramid and one little thing
And I don't know if that lettuce has lube on it, right?
Okay, I'm gonna go burger me too final answer I would almost call this one a tie oh
So, if you could get the salad with the dressing on the side, so you can control the amount you put on right then,
I'd go with the salad. Okay, what have you do burger and no bun?
Oh that might be good. I just gotta Liz excited
What are your top tips just in general about nutrition regardless of people's
Individualized like bodies and how they operate I would say most people can benefit by reducing sugar
Okay and reducing carbs, which is better for you vodka, or red wine
Red wine.
Damnit yes, what about red wine or Red Bull?
Red wine. Damnit.
Thank you so much for coming in
We presented you just like options that probably made you cringe where can people find your practice. Where can people find you if they're interested
