UNthink KFC's Ploy!

UNThink KFC’s ploy!

April, 27^th 2009, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) gave away a free piece of their New Grilled Chicken in every store in the country. I took the bait and tried a piece of the new grilled offering from KFC. The chicken itself was little greasier than I expected but overall I thought it had a nice flavor and could see myself eating more in the future. KFC has been called the second unhealthiest fast food in the country behind Taco Bell and I think this marketing plan is intended to bring pseudo healthy people back into the restaurant.

Even though I thought the chicken had promise, I have a problem recommending people go to KFC because the rest of the menu is garbage. There was not a single option except for the chicken that I would say is remotely healthy. White flour Biscuits, mashed potatoes and corn drenched in gravy, and soft drinks are too processed to be a part of a healthy diet.

The cashier was amazed when I purchased additional chicken and asked for water. KFC knows that most consumers are not health conscious enough to eat the chicken, drink plain water and forgo the other bad offerings. To make matters worse the branch I went to is a KFC/Taco Bell so I anyone that is working on improving their health is playing Russian roulette with going to KFC for the Grilled Chicken.

The dietitian told you to eat what?

My client asked me how she could lose weight and tone-up, which is the most common question any fitness person receive. She told me she wanted a fitness plan but that she had a nutrition plan a dietitian had created for her. I told her I would love to know what the dietitian from a local hospital had given her so I could tailor the plan to what the diet recommended.

She agreed, and later that week she brought in the materials. I was immediately shocked at how dated the materials were. I swore it was straight from the 1992 food pyramid with low fat, low protein, high carbohydrate recommendations. Now, most fat loss practitioners do not use low fat high carb diets any more but that was not my biggest issue with the materials.
The Plan recommend that if person eats at a Mexican restaurant then they should eat tortilla chips because of the health benefits and the to curb overeating. Now, I know from my experience and many people would agree that is terrible advice. Similar advice was given for eating fried wonton strips at Chinese restaurants. It typically takes 20 minutes for you satiation mechanisms in the body to respond to eating. Given that the body will easily over eat if we follow the advice.

Let's take highly processed foods that are calorie dense and add them to meals where most people overeat. If you goal is to lean out then: DO NOT EAT TORTILLA CHIPS OR FRIED WONTON STRIPS before your meals. I would recommend avoiding most appetizers as they add to many too calories to the average meal and most are overly salted, high in poor fat sources and have highly processed carbs.
