How important is diet and exercise? And what can individuals do to prevent serious heath risks linked to being over weight? There physical problems as well as mental. For most Americans it is routine to hit the drive-thru at a fast food restaurant for lunch three or four times a week. Most people do not know how many calories they have consumed in one meal. For example, a super-sized fries approximately thirty to forty French fries, about five hundred calories. Now if you add a big fat cheese burger and a large soda pop, you’re looking at an eleven hundred calorie lunch, almost two-thirds of most people’s calorie intake for one day, consumed in one meal. Depending on your occupation, and your fitness routine, most of those empty, unused calories will be stored as fat. Being as it may, fast food restaurants are quick, easy and a cheap way to get your fix but, their not the only restaurants to pack there foods full of empty calories and high-fats.
