Biz: Taco Bell’s “Drive-Thru Diet” sounds like a load of refried beans

  • For me, I didn’t want to cut out my fast food so I started choosing Fresco items from the Drive-Thru Diet® menu and making other sensible choices. I reduced my daily calorie and fat intake by 500 calories to 1250 calories a day, and, after two years, I ended up losing 54 pounds!
  • “Christine” • Describing her miraculous, Jared-like change from regular person to hot chick thanks to eating Taco Bell. All by switching from regular Taco Bell to the “Fresco” menu – which essentially means salsa instead of cheese on most items. We’re not the only ones skeptical – the L.A. Times notes that “The blurb on Christine is more loaded with disclaimers than a box of cheese-covered nachos is with empty calories.” Julius used to work at Taco Bell – a place that deep-fries bread and calls it a “Chalupa,” and also makes its food from the same 15 ingredients. This is bull. source
