Chicken Parm sub with waffle fries.....yep...I said it...AND I ate it. Now some of you may not understand why I am making a big deal of this...it's just a sandwich...and that's exactly right. It's just a damn sandwich. So why when others look at it they only see FAT, TONS of calories, GREASE, and dare I say it??...........REFINED CARBOHYDRATES!
Stop nitpicking your food.
I understand that if you are in the process of losing weight, or trying to maintain a recent weight loss, you want to aim at avoiding foods that are higher in fat and calories, and low in nutrient value. I get that, and I'm not trying to persuade you to eat something you honestly don't want to eat.
I am asking that you never deprive yourself. If you want it. Eat it. And if its something like a chicken parm sub...only eat it occasionally.
Diets of deprivation, whether they omit entire food groups or just certain foods, tend to be very counterproductive for weight loss. They usually result in rapid weight loss, and rapid weight gain due to their unrealistic, and unmaintainable expectations.
To better understand why I bring this to your attention, read the articles below. A more in depth explanation is given for why I firmly believe no one should completely deprive themselves from any delicious foods.
