Why you Can't loose Weight?

After endless research on the nutritional content of Restaurants I have come to the conclusion that we are all under an impression that some things are healthy but they really aren't.  I have a Job shadower this week named Madeline and she researched all of the top Restaurants in the area. 

CANES - Yeah we all know so lets not get into it.  Why not?  Box combo -1100 Calories.  1500 mg of sodium.

Mac donalds Chicken Nuggets- 460 cal. - 1000mg of sodium

Taco Bell - soft Taco - 200 cal with 500 mg sodium

Chic fil a - Chargrilled Chicken sandwich - 290 cal with 780 mg of sodium

Mc Allisters - Grilled Chicken Sandwich - 680 cal with 1170 mg sodium.

Now some of these are thought to be healthy option and although they are definitely healthier than other menu items, they will not help you loose weight.

TOO MUCH SODIUM!!!

Sodium causes weight retention and most successful weight programs work because there is less sodium.  RediFit Meals just opened in Lafayette La and the only complaints i have been hearing is that it is bland.  My reaction is our taste buds are too salt laden.  We should be consuming less sodium. The average american consumes 4000 mg /day.  The daily recommendation of sodium is closer to 2000 and 1500 for American 50 and over.  The problem is after our research we found that there are very few menu items anywhere that are less that 1000 mg of sodium.  Decrease your sodium intake and loose the weight!

SOLUTION:  Prepare your own meals! and DO YOUR RESEARCH
