Mandate that all restaurants, especially Fast Food restaurants, provide a Fat/Protein deficient menu and a separate Carb deficient menu.
Carbs and Fat act as a kind of catalyst with each other in our bodies. Very little carbs are needed in the presence of fat for our bodies to absorb much of the fat. If you just ate Fat without any Carbs, you lose weight. If you just ate Carbs without any Fat, you lose weight. Basically how most diets work.
Restaurants should offer extremely Carb limited foods, and extremely Fat limited foods. So for lunch I would have nothing but Fats and Protein, and for dinner I could eat nothing but Carbs.
I would still have a balanced diet, but my body would process the foods at different times. So I would lose weight.
For people needing to gain weight, they could eat any combination of foods they wanted.

Good ideas for those of us in the "Know". Some where in all of this a basic education of what you are eating, how the body process it and why it is important needs to be supplied. You can lable everything 20 ways to Sunday but with out a foundation of what it means you are not gaining any traction on the problem. I believe that a lot of folks just don't give a crap of what they eat because they are uneducated to the facts. If they did understand it clearly there probably would be no fast food establishments at all.
I would have to agree with this intent to futher educate a growing population of obese people. The simple truth is always the best yet large corporations especially the fast food industry does not want the average consumer to know how unhealthy there product is for you rather like Subway; how good or how cheap it is. I my self have turned my diet around by following some of the food guides found on the net and have done some personal research into one's body PH level and which foods one should eat: Alkaline's = healthy and Acidic = unhealthy. There is also a stragety for when you should eat what and the food groups that you should and should not mix together. This so your body has time to regulate so you can get the most out of what you eat and how much energy it will store/use.
It's fine for restaurants to offer special menu with health oriented dishes, but I am opposed to the suggestion that it should be mandated. Not only am I opposed to the needless intrusion into private business, but I think such a law would be particularly problematic for many small family owned restaurants that have very limited menus to begin with. Anyway, you can't legislate good eating habits to people in a free society.
ust another reason to have something done for you, another reason the whole western world is fat.
figure out your own diet.
take care of your self.
if youre fat, eat less and excersize.if youre lazy, take the stairsif youre stupid, play on the yellow line
