The Whopper Diet

About a year ago, I was trying to come up with a diet you could follow at fast food restaurants, and this is in the same vein.  I stumbled across this by luck.  I have a theory that a diet from Burger King may work.  Intrigued?  Read on.

Burger King is different from other fast food restaurants, and not necessarily in a good way.  Their service sucks.  No matter how few customers there are, plan on waiting in line at least 10 minutes.  Their fries are disgusting.  They are thick-cut and soggy and cold.  Every time.  If you want good fries go to WingStop.  McDonald's is a distant second, then everyone else, with BK fries at the bottom.  But this is a good thing, because you need to avoid french fries on this diet and you won't be tempted.  And don't get their disgusting salads either. 

The thing to order is the Whopper, maybe a double or even a triple.  The Whopper is different from every other burger out there.  First, it is made from real beef, unlike the meatloaf you would be getting at McDonald's.  Yes it is frozen, unlike Wendy's, but who really cares.  And it is grilled in their grilling machine, which gives it a distinctive flavor.  Second, and even more important, is the way it is prepared.  There is no cheese on it.  There is no ketchup on it, or if there is, it isn't noticeable. But there is so much mayonnaise and sauce that it is wet and dripping.  You need extra napkins and you can't eat it in a car.  And there is too much bread, so throw away the bottom slice which is soggy.

So here is how the diet works.  The only thing you will eat on this diet is Whoppers but no more than 3 per day. Throw away half the bread.  No fries, no soft drink. Skip breakfast, skip dinner.  There is something uniquely satisfying about the Whopper that fills you up, but doesn't leave you craving more.  It isn't totally ketogenic because you will eat some bread and tomatoes and lettuce.   But that is how I think it works.  Of course it is loaded with protein and fat, but that is how keto diets work.  Your body attacks the fat and it keeps going and burns body fat as well.

I will try this some more and post my results, starting now.
