Is Fast Food Fattening?
We have a diet at Super Slim called the Lifestyle Diet. This diet is brilliant for those who love fast food. On this diet you can eat fast food once a week, as part of your main diet. With the ‘free’ diets the calories discovered in this quiz all need to be counted as an extra. Please do not mix up the Lifestyle diet with the ‘free diets’.
Try this quiz with your Members, its great fun. Divide Members up into groups of about 5 or 6 and make one the team leader. Give the team leader some paper and a pen. Tell teams you want no cheating.
Imagine you are going out for a treat tonight. Not really of course but only in your mind!
