What Happens If You Eat Junkfood Everyday?

Like pizza or hamburgers

You get grossly overweight. Check out channel 38, my 600 lb life.

^ Or don't, if you don't want nightmares.

[woofgang]

depends how much of it you eat and what its made of

There's a documentary movie made a number of years ago called Supersize Me. The documentary maker lived on just Macdonalds for a month. He gained weight, had a lot of side effects...felt like ****.

[ummmm]

Watching one of those 'You Are What You Eat' type programmes takeaway pizze seems to be the worst.

[Old_Geezer]

You enjoy your meal.

[ummmm]

Surely there's only so much you can enjoy.

[iluvmargie]

I love pizza, could eat it for every meal, but of course I don't!

And yet pizza is a mainstay of the Mediterranean Diet which is recommended by many dieticians as being healthy.

[iluvmargie]

Takeaway pizza is delicious - in my opinion ..

[woofgang]

that's why I said it depends on how much you eat and what its made of.

[ummmm]

Are those in the med big fans of takeaway pizza or would they make it themselves?

There is a big difference between homemade 'v' takeaway.

I make homemade Chinese dishes. They taste like takeaway Chinese except they are unlikely to clog your arteries.

[pastafreak]

I wouldn't say pizza is a mainstay of the Mediterranean diet. Italians don't eat it every day...nor do Greeks or other countries in that part of the world.

I remember a dietician on radio saying that there is no such thing as "junk food"......only a "junk diet".
In other words - nothing at all wrong with a hamburger, pizza etc unless you eat little else.

[ummmm]

Nor would I, Pasta, and I very much doubt it's like the pizza you can get from the cheap chicken/kebab shops

[dannyk13]

Ummmm. // or would they make it themselves?//
As having spent quite a lot of time in Italy with my in-laws, I can assure you that it usual to buy pizza from a pizzeria or visit a local restaurant.

[dannyk13]

Pasta // Italians don't eat it every day//
No, but they do eat it on regular basis as we British eat fish and chips.

I used to make my own using a pizza base or a tortilla wrap base, tomato paste, tomatoes, olives, ham and a small amount of mozzarella.

Having watched the film to which pasta freak refers, I would definitely advise against such a diet.
