McDonald’s menu order to help you to lose weight and ‘keep you satisfied’

When it comes to losing weight it is easier said than done. While we all know the motto “eat less and move more” in a bid to shift the pounds sometimes we want to know what are the best options to eat when it comes to dining out and weight loss.
Especially as fast food is so accessible and cheap to eat. In particular, McDonald’s while you may think it is full of unhealthy burgers and fries a dietician has shared healthy options to enjoy at the fast food chain.
Kristen Carli, dietician and owner of Camelback Nutrition & Wellness, shared what she would eat with Eat This, Not That! at McDonald’s.
Carli said: “The best lunch order for weight loss is the McDonald’s Classic Burger with a side of apple slices and an unsweetened iced tea.
“Opting for a basic burger, such as a McDonald’s hamburger or cheeseburger, provides protein and some carbohydrates without excess calories from cheese or mayo.

“Choosing apple slices as a side adds fiber and natural sweetness without added sugars or fat. Selecting unsweetened tea keeps your drink calorie-free and helps you stay hydrated.
“This meal provides a great balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber, which can help keep you satisfied while managing your calorie intake.”
Surprisingly, Carli’s meal only comes in at 250 calories and has 12 grams of protein. Something of which the dietician calls “your BFF for weight loss” and the “superhero of nutrients” when it comes to protein. This will thereby make you fuller for longer and stop you from snacking between meals.
However, make sure not to add things such as cheese or mayo to the burger as this can up your calories instead. Instead, stick with onions, pickles and ketchup.
It comes as an expert has revealed two simple, everyday foods that could contribute to extending your lifespan when eaten daily.
Researcher Dan Buettner has spent years observing the diets of people living in the renowned ‘Blue Zones’, areas where people are known for their exceptional longevity.
His research has identified two affordable, readily available grocery items, each priced at around $1, that are integral parts of centenarians’ diets: black beans and walnuts.
These seemingly overlooked foods have emerged as staples in the diets of those who have reached the age of 100 and beyond, shedding light on potential dietary factors contributing to longevity.
Addressing the audience at the Milken Institute’s Global Conference in Los Angeles, Buettner humorously declared: “I have two revolutionary supplements to tell you all about.”
Both beans and walnuts, Buettner explained, offer remarkable health benefits when studied in the research.
Reflecting on this, he previously stated: “But at the end of the day, when it comes to longevity, there is no short-term fix.
“You have to think about things you are going to do for years or decades… to stack the deck in favor of living to 100.”
