Weight loss comes down to the calories — when you eat less than you burn, you lose weight. So, technically, you CAN lose weight eating only fast food, if you are eating fewer calories than your body needs.

Excess calories from fast-food meals can cause weight gain. This may lead toward obesity. Obesity increases your risk for respiratory problems, including asthma and shortness of breath. The extra pounds can put pressure on your heart and lungs and symptoms may show up even with little exertion.

Because fast food is high in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, it isn’t something you should eat often. Eating too much over a long period of time can lead to issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and unwanted weight gain.

Fast food isn’t necessarily bad, but in many cases it’s highly processed and contains large amounts of carbohydrates, added sugar, unhealthy fats, and salt (sodium). These foods are often high in calories yet offer little or no nutritional value.

Try these:

• Steamed summer roll instead of a deep-fried spring roll.
• Grilled, not fried, chicken parmesan.
• Steamed vegetable dumplings instead of fried wontons.
• Soft-shell taco rather than a fried hard-shell taco (or even better — a taco salad with lettuce).
• Baked potato instead of fries.

Depending on the dish, Chinese food can be healthier than pizza, especially if it’s a simple protein and vegetable dish. Chinese food usually is higher in sodium and calories, while pizza is higher in saturated fat and cholesterol. Avoid eating too much in one sitting to eat healthier.
