Even More Healthy Food

Along the lines of a previous post I wrote about how Tex-Mex food is surprisingly, shockingly unhealthy, we now discovery that fried chicken is, as well. I don't know why it surprises anyone that fried chicken is unhealthy, or that advertisers (gasp!) lie, as this article suggests.

On a fried chicken note, those in New Orleans will no doubt be less than impressed with KFC's bold assertions in its ads, since we have Chicken Box here, the king of all chicken places and chicken ad campaigns. I think my favorite ad campaign they did was giving away a free marriage license if you bought 1,000 pieces of chicken.

Less than the cost of the angioplasty you'll need after eating at Chicken Box.

I have a few friends on that Atkins Diet and it must be painful for them to watch me eat sushi, hamburgers, pasta, and candy when we're at work and eating out. I do not see the whole point of Atkins because like smoking, they seem to quit and come back to it. I love sugar as you can tell and I agree with Pylorns with his diet plan which has worked for him.

Pylorns: email me a website for that plan. I need to get off my fat ass and get to doing something.

Fried chicken is good.... I could go for some Cane's right now but I keep forgetting that I'm broke and have mac&cheese in the fridge I made for work today.... :(

I don't find it overly hard to do the Atkins plan. But most people really don't do the Atkins plan. They do not purchase the book, which tells you how to eat correctly, and such. Most people believe you cannot eat vegetables and such, which is totally false. Once you exit the 2-week period on the plan your food options are just huge. The whole purpose of the plan is to stop the spike in your insulin levels from the consumption of simple carbohydrates. Complex Carbohydrates are fine and you should consume them. So many people tell me, "Oh you can’t eat fruit or vegetables." Which is totally wrong. Yes, I can even eat a sweet once in awhile, but not everyday. I personally just try to avoid them all together. Americans eat way too much sugar and don't even realize it. Next time you purchase a pre-made product, look at the CARBS. In all pre-made products they tend to add more then is needed. Most low fat items end up with more simple carbs (which your body treats like sugar). But no diet will ever work if you do not exercise everyday for at least 60 minutes. To believe anything else, is just lying to yourself.

I've never been in Cane's in B.R., so I don't know if Chicken Box compares. Chicken Box is only located in poor neighborhoods of nola (so you need to pack heat when you pick up your chix), and they're so low budget that if you order a drink they pour you Diet Rite soda into a paper cup. Not kidding. Hilarious.

I find it hard to believe that anyone could truly maintain a total Atkins diet permanently. It is so limiting, and I wonder what kind of affect the high fat intake has on your heart? Can't be good.

I heard a comedian once saying that there's no way Atkins really works. Grizzly bears don't eat any carbs and they're all fat......
