| I read in a Readers Digest the worst foods for you are:
McDonalds cheeseburger and fries
Oscar Myers Lunchables
Oscar myer lunchmeats
Canned soup,,especially cream base(this one surprises me)
Fast food chicken,,strips or nuggets
When I get on Weight watchers,,,McDonalds stock is going to fall! 
(I have to wait to go on Weight watchers becuse they are all closed around me for the holidays..but I did see on a commercial they are having a special for the new year,,its free to join!) |

| Gee, the only thing I think we'd have a big problem giving up on that list would be the canned cream soup. Lots of recipes call for it. Lots of easy, quick recipes, that my kids will eat. argh!
My girls beg & beg for those stupid Lunchables & I totally refuse to ever buy them, & then my girls give me such grief about being so adamant about it~ I am NOT surpised about those being bad for you.
When we get deli meat, we try to just get turkey. Sometimes turkey ham. and very occassionally baloney, but I refuse to get baloney now. It IS so bad for you. Along with hot dogs. And of course we couldn't live without American cheese. That's a biggie for my family. We never get the brand-name "oscar meyer" though...I wonder if theirs is worse for you than other brands(?)
As for McDonald's anything...I am not surprised. I gained so much weight after a summer of eating their premium salads(you know, the ones with the meat, like chicken etc.) about twice a week. At the time, I really couldn't understand what happened to me!! but now in hindsight, eating those salads with the dressing(it was even "Newman's own" dressing, sometimes low-cal)twice a week was the only real difference I made in my diet between being thinner & gaining 20+ pounds~ My metabolism is SO bad! |

| Thanks Donna for this list. I will probably add to it late. I have the dining out points book and it amazes me how many points the fast food is.
Cheapy - you can make the creamed soups and they would be healthier for you. They use full fat and too much sodium in the canned. I wont buy the lunchables either matter of fact ds said he wanted some next week and got mad when I refused. I am with you on the metabolisim. Ever since I quit smoking my weight has gone up 31 pounds and that is the only thing that has changed,.
I can look up the lunchmeats in my points finder if you'd like I just need the name
