Taco Bell's Drive Thru Diet

The new sensation to hit the airwaves and televisions across America is Taco BellрЂ™s new attempt at offering itрЂ™s ownВ рЂЭdietрЂЭ plan.В  The items are found on the рЂЗFrescoрЂЭ menu, and contain 9 grams of fat or less.В  Unfortunately, so many people are misinformedВ and assume eating less fat means gaining less weight.В  (IрЂ™m sure Taco Bell and their marketers are well aware of this).В  Sadly however, it just doesnрЂ™t work like that.В  Taco Bell is touting the story ofВ  Christine Doughtery, a woman who supposedly lost 54 pounds by choosing Fresco items and рЂЗmaking other sensible choicesрЂЭ.В  How much of that was Fresco and how much was due to рЂЗsensible choicesрЂЭ? LetрЂ™s put it this way: The most notable difference between the regular and the Fresco tacos is replacement cheese withВ salsa. (For a little perspective, there are 100 calories in an ounce of Mexican-style shredded cheese, and about 10 calories for your typical salsa) This doesnрЂ™t make for a huge caloric difference between the Fresco menu itemsВ and their рЂЗregularрЂЭ counterparts. The Crunchy Taco Supreme is 200 calories; the Fresco version cuts that to 150. The Fresco burrito supreme with steak keeps itВ at 330 calories, while the normal version hits 380. That 50-calorie cut doesnрЂ™t even come close to cutting the 500 calories Christine said she dropped from her dietВ each day.В В  LetрЂ™s be real people.В  Do weВ honestly believe eating Taco Bell alone is going to make us skinny?В  Taco Bell is a corporation whose purposeВ is to turn a profit.В  They know they can cash in on naivetyВ and lack of knowledge concerningВ proper nutrition.В  Millions will fall for their scam and IрЂ™m sure theyрЂ™ll make a ton of moneyрЂ¦just donрЂ™t let yourself be one of the many who will undoubtedly be duped.
