Veggie Burger Without the Veggies?

As soon as I changed my lifestyle and decided to stop eating all of the greasy, fatty foods that I had been in the past, I knew that I needed to find an alternative for a nice, juicy burger. I immediately turned to the veggie burger. I mean come on, it has the word veggie in it, how bad can it be? I'm sure most of you are thinking the exact same way. The answer is that depending on the kind of veggie burger you're eating, it can be very bad for you.

A homemade veggie burger is 100% a solid, healthy meal. A store bought or fast food bought veggie burger...not so much. Fast food chains advertise their veggie burgers to entice healthier guests to make an appearance at their restaurant. Obviously there is a catch to it. These veggie burgers have to be held together with something. That something is oil and butter. The top two things that people stay away from when they're on a diet or have a lifestyle change. Yes, there are really vegetables in them, but the oil and butter just cancel out all of the good things that they do for your body. Your best option is to check the ingredients before fooling yourself and ordering an extremely unhealthy veggie burger. Take some time to cook one yourself, you might be surprised at how good it is!

Make sweet choices--in food and in life.
