Buy an inverter (3500W) and an electric skillet, crockpot and rice cooker for cooking on the road. I’ve heard some of the air fryers work well but haven’t personally used them. Get yourself a small little igloo cooler for drinks. Not only will you be healthier, you’ll feel so much better! I say this from experience. I lost 152 pounds in 10 months just by cutting out the garbage “food” in truck stops. Get carrots/celery sticks and nuts for healthy snacks that are easy to eat while driving and much healthier than the carb overload we typically find. It’s okay to still have some splurge food like potato chips but try to stay away from them daily. Hit a Walmart to restock groceries on the road if needed. I also cook and freeze meals when I go home to bring with me on the road. Try to get lean meats like chicken and bison to cook as well instead of the higher fat hamburger and pork. A good rule of thumb for portions is 1/2 plate with veggies, a deck of cards size for the protein and at most 1/4 plate for carbs/sides that are starchy. Eat some kind of fruit at least once a day-grapes, oranges, apples, papaya, pomegranate, cherries, etc. and do crockpot greens-you can definitely freeze the greens and reheat for about a week. The small dietary changes won’t just let you lose weight and feel better. It can also help lower your bad cholesterol levels from years of truck stop food and lower your risk of diabetes and heart problems! Dark leafy greens are the best but stick with veggies you really like!! Look up low fat low carb recipes online! That’s where I found the bison meatball recipe that my picky eater nephew begs for because they don’t TASTE like they’re healthy lol","replyToPid":0}

","text":"I’m actually a bit addicted to fast food restaurant meals. I just cannot cut it off my life, so I find a way to work around it (see my comment above).\n\nYou mentioned that your body feels super run down after eating there. I remember reading that large meals can make you feel tired. I have a (bad) habit of eating a fast food meal right before going to sleep. It puts me in the mood, and I fall asleep quickly, but be careful because I’ve heard of people chocking for eating too much before going to bed. It hasn’t happened to me, but then again, I don’t eat to the point I feel uncomfortable. I just stop eating. I do feel full, though, and some 10 minutes after I can feel fatigue starting to take over. Hahaha. ","replyToPid":426872}

{"replyTo":"","text":"We’re all addicted to something, just have to learn to cut it out completely or minimize it. I’m actually addicted to hot Cheetos, they don’t do anything to me (probably why I can eat them more often than most people) ..but any type of hot chips, I’m hooked. One day it hit me that I drove all day long and only ate bags of XXXtra hot Cheetos. I was slightly disappointed in myself, and now I haven’t had a bag of hot chips in about 3 weeks and don’t even crave them when I walk past them in the gas station. I feel like eating them nonstop every single day for a month really made me tired of them. \n\nAnd I saw your comment above. I like that. \nSounds like you’ve found a good healthy eating regimen. I know a lot of truckers gain most of their weight from fountain drinks. I’ve never been addicted to soda, I drink 1 glass coke and 1 can of dr.pepper about once a year (and sprite for the rare occasion I go to the movie theaters). But I actually just ordered ‘Zipfizz’ on Amazon and it is freaking awesome. It’s sweet as hell depending what flavors you get (fruit punch, pink lemonade, límon, and blueberry) but I mix that with 1 water bottle and it makes me full, it’s B12 and has all sorts of your daily vitamins/electrolytes and gives you an insane amount of energy (1 tube per day). You should try that out if you always feel fatigued from greasy foods","replyToPid":0}
