How To Eat GREAT At Burger King :)

[Doug Varrieur]

I hear it all the time....fast food is making this country FAT....not so my friends. french fries, sesame seed buns, ketchup, apple pies and full sugar soda from fast food joints.....Ah...that's what's making us FAT. But can you still eat at your favorite fast food place. You bet! When I'm on the road and need a quick meal it's as simple as 1 2 3

1- Buy a whopper or double whopper without Ketchup and a side salad from Burger King. Ask for Ranch dressing

2- Remove the bread and place all the meat and veggies on the salad, top with ranch dressing

3- Enjoy your meal

Thank you so much for sharing this Doug! Sometimes it is so hard breaking from the old "Let's stop and grab a burger real quick", but this
brings us a whole new fresh idea for allowing back some fast food eating and the kids do not feel ripped off so much anymore~~
We have also done what Umpa shared by bringing the Lo-carb tortilla and transferring the meat and veggies~~
Everyday we are learning more and more as we adjust for healthy life and we're loving it~~ Bless you! ....yum!

I took my kids through the drive through at BK the other morning. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant AND a fork and knife. They thought I was nuts, but I didn't care. I threw away the bread and ate the sausage, egg, and cheese with the knife and fork! : )

[Cyndi]

Amen!...LoL~~ u go sis!

I am excited to try this! I love Whoppers and have steered clear of them for years!
Thanks for the tip!

The other day I took my girls to a local taco place.  They all ordered and I sat with them...I went back to the counter, said I had changed my mind and asked for a taco minus the tortilla...they were more than happy to do it, put all of the ingredients in a styrofoam box and I ate it with a fork, it was fantastic and I didn't feel a bit deprived!

Happy Eating !!

Thanks for the tip! Haven't tried BK yet, but did eat a salad at Wendys recently. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked around the dining room and saw 4 others eating the same thing.

just be careful of the dressings... read the packets... I Love Ranch Dressings... Burger King uses "Ken's Ranch Dressing" which is awesome as they are only 1 carb. per two Tablespoons so if you use the whole packet it is 2 carbs so i suggest to only use 1/2 a packet.. but like at McDonalds, they use "Paul Newman's Ranch Dressing" that packet is 9....yes, i said ***9*** carb's!!!!! ouch! ...I Love me my whoppers toooo! Blessings to all for a joyful and wondrous new year of success living the Fat to Skinny lifestyle!! Life is so beautiful~~ ...LIVE IT !! Praise the Lord \/

Thanks, Cindi! Nine carbs? Wow. I might start carrying my own in my purse. It's a good thing I don't eat out all that often anymore.

At Wendy's we had the spicy chicken salad, but replaced it with grilled instead. The dressing wasn't that much per packet, but they gave us 2 each (plus croutons), which can easily sabotage a person if they're not careful.

Sometimes with kids and all the running around I do, I find myself at drive-ins too often. This is nice to know that there is food you can eat there and not worry about falling off the plan.
Thank you Doug,

Doug,I dont have a BK but i have others. I'll go up and order a bacon cheeseburger, through the bread away and wrap it it a La Tortilla Factory Tortilla and have a ball.

Thats it. I don't like their bread anyway.
