Lose Weight Thinking Outside the Bun
Wow, who would’ve thought that Taco Bell would come up with a diet to follow that will help you lose weight? Not me! The only time I have ever eaten Taco Bell is after a long night of drinking when I scarf down 3 hard tacos, and then wake up full in the morning. Waking up full is not the greatest feeling and does not help with your hangover.
Anyway, now I may actually eat at Taco Bell while I’m sober and making choices without being intoxicated and wanting to eat anything and everything. There are 7 items on the new Al Fresco menu that are all under 9 grams of fat and 350 calories. Sounds good to me! Sounds like a Lean Cuisine. Those rule by the way, when I get home from work, pop one in the microwave and voila, I have dinner! Now maybe I can hit the drive-thru instead.
I go vegetarian sometimes for a few weeks at a time, and they even have an option for that!
The Fresco Menu Includes:
Fresco Burrito Supreme Chicken
A warm, soft, flour tortilla wrapped around grilled, marinated all-white-meat chicken, hearty beans, tangy red sauce, crisp, shredded lettuce, diced onions, diced ripe tomatoes, and Fiesta Salsa.
8 grams of fat 340 calories
Fresco Grilled Steak Soft Taco
A warm, soft, flour tortilla filled with authentic carne asada steak, crisp, shredded lettuce, diced ripe tomatoes, and Fiesta Salsa.
4.5 grams of fat 160 calories
Fresco Soft Taco
A warm, soft, flour tortilla filled with seasoned ground beef, crisp, shredded lettuce, and Fiesta Salsa.
7 grams of fat 180 calories
Fresco Burrito Supreme Steak
A warm, soft, flour tortilla wrapped around authentic carne asada steak, hearty beans, tangy red sauce, crisp, shredded lettuce, diced onions, diced ripe tomatoes, and Fiesta Salsa.
8 grams of fat 330 calories
Fresco Crunchy Taco
A crunchy, corn taco shell filled with seasoned ground beef, crisp, shredded lettuce, and Fiesta Salsa.
7 grams of fat 150 calories
Fresco Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco
A warm, soft, flour tortilla filled with marinated and grilled all-white-meat chicken, crisp, shredded lettuce and Fiesta Salsa.
4 grams of fat 170 calories
Fresco Bean Burrito
8 grams of fat 340 calories
A warm, soft, flour tortilla wrapped around hearty beans, tangy red sauce, diced onions, and Fiesta Salsa
The commercial has Christine Dougherty who says she lost 54 pounds. I don’t have 54 pounds to lose, but why not try this out? I LOVE Mexican food, if that is really what this is. If I can eat great food and stay healthy, why not. I guess we will see if people start losing weight going to Taco Bell. Usually when I go I see LOTS of overweight and obese Earthlings.
