When I think back to how much of it I used to eat before my healthy eating plan I shudder. I found a great pizza that is actually very nice and easy to order - comes 6 to a box frozen and ready to be popped in the oven (don't microwave) -- Fit and Free Pizza (no fat, only 232 calories) - very tasty, and a gluten free crust that is very nice. When I need a "fast" food option for dinner because of time or the family wants to eat out - I chose Panera's salmon salad - it's great. They also have a nice low fat chicken noodle soup that my daughter loves. (I don't eat noodles now but when I get to maintenance phase I will include this option). Subway has some decent subs and salads - I always use my own lower in calorie dressings though. Appleby's has some good weight watcher menu items too - you can call ahead and pick up.

So you get less blood plasma in x amount of blood as now you have fat mixed with the blood. So instead of having red blood cells and your blood plasma, you now have a lower amount of them per litre as the damn fat also has to be in the picture. It scary, what fat food does with you. If you eat a pizza take a blood sample, put it into a centrifuge machine, you can see the fat layer from the pizza in the blood, as now all the components are segmented. well with eating food with a lot of fat, the fat volume in your blood increases.

My son had a football game in another small town. A town where the only restaurant open after 8pm was Mickey D's. I was in a panic. I was scared to even go into the place. But I had to. After about 10 minutes of staring at the menu and checking everything against my WeightWatchers guide, I finally ordered a grilled chicken sandwich without mayo and a diet coke. Only 5 points! I survived! But man, I feel for you. Domino's made me sick when I wasn't eating so clean. So I know what you're talking about. I haven’t had ‘fast food’ since February… until a couple weeks ago.
