The Taco Bell Drive-Through Diet?
Just saw an ad for losing weight by consuming Taco Bell food. That can't possibly be real--I think I may be hallucinating from a day of continuous football.

1. I haven't seen it but it wouldn't surprise me.
KFC now has ads about how their food is healthy and better for you than Subway. A few years ago they even pulled their kitchen fresh chicken ads because too many were calling them out on their ridiculous claims that it was good for you. KFC and Taco Bell are run by the same company.

6. The last time I ate at KFC I got food poisoning and lost about ten pounds.
I'll spare you the details but I will say I didn't hold anything down long enough to get diarrhea. My record is 12 pounds lost after eating at Boston Market. I've gotten the hint and stay away from fast food now.

2. I would actually think it would be healthier to go inside.
A few extra calories burned.

5. Probably their Fresco items
Lowfat cheese, lots of veggies and no sour cream.

7. No, it's real. http://www.drivethrudiet.com/
Disclaimers aplenty, not that everyone will read them. But then, anyone that thinks they can lose weight simply because a commercial told them to eat shit from a crap drive thru/menu likely can't make it through a full disclaimer without blurred vision.

8. Is that the one where you get food poisoning from their taco salads
and then lose 10 pounds while sitting on the crapper all week?

9. You cant metabolize calories that slide through too fast to be digested
just sayin, there is a certain amount of logic to it.

11. Popping a couple of ex-lax is cheaper and has the same effect. nt

12. Well, if you regurgitate everything you eat, you'll probably lose weight.
That shit's gross.
