The Effects of Fast Food

Eating fast food can have terrible consequences and effects on your body. All the high calories it contains, your body stores but it is more then you need and you don't burn it off, so it is just stored as body fat. And if you lived on a constant diet of this junk then you'd wake up in the morning and look in the mirror to find you're just a chubby, blob. Yes, you'd get fat, fat, fat. But not all hope is lost, you CAN eat fast food without getting fat, it's all in moderation. Ever looked at the food pyramid? Then you'd find that fast food is up at the top, things you should eat very occasionally. That means that if you excersize regularly you can have McDonalds for dinner once a month and you won't gain weight!
Fast food doesn't just make you fat though, all this extra body weight leads to making it harder to excersize and if you don't burn it off it can lead to obesity. Obesity not only looks ugly, it comes along with many other health issues too and is a major risk factor for deadly diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease and many different types of cancer. Not only are there those side effects you also start feeling very tired and you can't do the thigs that you loved doing. But don't feel down by this. Just remember what was said before "It is all in moderation"
