Fast food chain Taco Bell is following suit with Subway to market their fat loss secret. Taco Bell’s new spokesperson, Christine Dougherty, claims she lost 54 pounds by ordering off of Taco Bell’s new “Fresco” menu five-to-eight times per week. If you haven’t seen the commercial on TV, watch this video:
These claims are similar to the one’s made by Subway’s spokesperson, Jared Fogle. In 2000, he claimed he had lost 245 pounds by making healthy choices at Subway. I think we all found that hard to believe, but it has never been disproved.
Taco Bell’s Fresco menu, or Drive-Thru Diet menu, consists of 7 tacos and/or burritos that range in 150-340 calories per serving and under 9 grams of fat. That’s certainly better than their 700 calorie Beef Grilled Stuffed Burrito. But, be advised, fresco in Spanish means “no sour cream”.
The big fat loss secret to Christine’s story, although untold, is that she reduced her calorie intake to just 1250 calories per day. Anybody will lose weight in the long run if they reduce their calorie intake to this level. So, after two years, it’s not surprising that she lost 54 pounds.
What will be interesting to see is what effect this campaign will have on Taco Bell’s sales. When Subway first promoted their weight loss program, their sales increased by 700% during that first year of their campaign. How much do you think Taco Bell’s will increase by?
The best thing about this story is that it does indicate a change in what fast food chains are offering on their menus. While not totally healthy, it’s certainly better than what most of them have been offering up to this point.
Taco Bell’s Drive-Thru Menu now offers food selections with less calories, but it’s not a quick weight loss diet menu. The problem with diets that just rely upon less calorie intake is that they take too long. It took Christine two years to lose 54 pounds. Two long years!
The best of the latest quick weight loss diets on the market, such as the Lose Weight Quickly Fat Burning Furnace, uses your body’s own metabolism to burn not only calories, but actual fat. These diets monitor what you eat and how often you eat to speed up your metabolism. A much quicker way to lose weight. For many dieter’s, they are eating as much or more than what they use to eat. They have more energy and feel healthier.
So, if you have two years you want to spend losing 54 pounds, try Taco Bell’s Fresco menu. Or, if you would rather lose those pounds in 1-2 months, use the Fat Burning Furnace. Now, that’s a fat loss secret!

Thank you so much, this was very interesting. I was actually born in Spain ( not telling you what year though!) but was moved around various parts of europe and lastly settled in England when I was a teenager. I dont remember an awful lot of the few years I was in spain, but the smell of spanish food always seems to ring a bell in me or something. Funny, how I dont remember anything except the smells,isn’t it! I even found a website dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I ought to share with your readers. Anyway, thank you again. I’ll get my husband to add your cast to my rss app…
