I would never make it to that third exercise day in the first week alive.
“Eat less, move around more.”
When Junk Food and Junk Science Collide!
I’ll go to Taco Bell less if you can the Freepathon ads turned off.
Otherwise, it’s enchiritos for me.
Does this seem repetitive?
“ScienceDaily (May 2, 2008) — Diets high in fast food can be highly toxic to the liver and other internal organs, but that damage can be reversed, says one of the country’s leading experts on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, who offers four steps to undo the effects of a ‘super-size me’ diet.
It was probably enough to make many Americans lose their appetite: A recent study from Europe showed that eating too much fast food – a diet high in fat and sugar – could cause serious damage to your liver.
Yet for those who overdo it with too many trips to their favorite burger joint, there’s good news. You can likely reverse the damage to your liver and other vital organs if you simply give up the unhealthy lifestyle, according to a leading liver specialist at Saint Louis University who conducted a similar study with mice.
“There’s strong evidence now that a fast-food type of diet – high in fat and sugar, the kind of diet many Americans subsist on – can cause significant damage to your liver and have extremely serious consequences for your health,” says Brent Tetri, M.D., professor of internal medicine at the Saint Louis University Liver Center and one of the country’s leading experts on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
“The good news is that most people can undo this damage if they change their diet and they keep physically active,” Tetri says. “If they don’t, however, they are asking for trouble.” “
high-fructose corn syrup is a bad thing. It’s everywhere!

high-fructose corn syrup is not such a bad thing. It’s everywhere!

I'm more concerned with the Alcohol damage.
The other day I was walking on a trail in a natural area near here when 4 or 5 deer suddenly ran across the trail. Someone coming from the other direction who also saw the deer commented to me, "Fast food."
When did "fast food" become an identifiable substance?
Milk thistle is good for reparing the liver. (AFAIK, IMHO — you’ll have to look it up — never take medical advice from Internet forums without double checking.)
Alcohol caused liver damage takes 12 steps to treat, whereas fast food liver damage only needs a four step program.
Is vodka a fast food?
Start by eliminating the mayo OR the cheese for a while. One normally won’t miss one of them if the other is there.
Don’t eat the fries. Most of them are nasty anyway.
Usually the beverages are colored fructose anyway, carry water with you.
If you feel you must have the mayo, go to a place like Subway and ask for “half mayo.”
Outstanding article! It informed the reader of the dangers of a high fat/high caloric diet and it gave advice on how to fix it.
The article didn’t threaten lawsuits against fast food companies although I’m sure those human parasites have stored this article in their database.

Ok, so if I buy a hamburger at a fast food place that’s bad; but if I buy the same hamburger at a slow restaurant well that’s better ..... huh?
The bottom line to this stuff is that our livers are too efficient. However, the solution is not to starve or exhaust ourselves, but to add supplements to our diet that limit how our livers work.
For example, both diet and genetics create an overabundance of cholesterol in many Americans. Even if you eliminated cholesterol from your diet completely, and consumed lots of unpleasant foods known to reduce cholesterol, and exercised a lot, you would STILL have high cholesterol, if you had a genetic preponderance to it.
Well, like ‘em or not, we now have statin drugs that will block the enzymes your liver uses to make cholesterol. The problem solved with a little pill, instead of all sorts of masochistic and self-abusive behavior and self-denial.
Other drugs are in the research pipeline, to take care of other problems. Cirrhosis is caused by a protein that makes too much fibrin, that scars the liver. But now YET ANOTHER PILL may be available that will block this protein, so your liver stop producing excess fibrin, and heals itself.
Yet another drug is a type of fat that might someday be eaten as a supplement. It fools your body into thinking you have been exercising, and tells it, it needs to convert fat to muscle. It even fools the muscles into toning themselves a bit.
But all of this has in common: You don’t *have* to do with less. You don’t *have* to suffer and starve yourself. And you don’t *have* to exhaust yourself with exercise.
The funny part is even if you don’t have a problem, they would still want you to starve, exhaust yourself, suffer, and eat cruddy tasting food. Why? Because they hate seeing others have pleasure. Pleasure bad. Pain and denial good.
No way pizza is a fast food. And if it is I don’t care - there are quality of life issues to consider here.
Thank you for posting. I have fatty liver and the advice in this article might save my life.
That reminds me. How does “Where In The World Is Osama...?” end? If the answer is anything other than “Morgan ran into some guys in black skimasks and they chanted ‘Allah akbar!’ as they gave him the Daniel Pearl haircut”, I’m not going.
