Firstly, what is fast food? Fast food is basically junk food. And junk food is very bad for our health. It affects our health very badly.  In today's world, the negative influence of fast food on people is increasing. So, let me tell you the consequences of having fast food. 
The first thing that will happen to your body is your weight will increase. When your weight is increased, then you will feel lazy and want to lay down on the bed or sit on the sofa. Then, while resting, you will eat more fast food, then this will cause an addiction to eating fast food. Moreover,  it will increase your blood sugar level, there will be stones in the gallbladder, it will increase cholesterol and it will let you suffer from diseases like kidney, liver, and pancreas failure etc. All these consequences will cause you to suffer very badly from different health hazards. Some people who are addicted to fast food may eat 5-10 pizzas and 10-15 burgers a day. Then, after a time, they will suffer. And if the person does not leave now also, then he/she can lead to death. Now let us move on to how to reduce the consumption of fast food. We can control ourselves by planning our diet, preparing healthy snacks, enough fibre consumption, doing exercises (running, jogging, cycling) etc. These measures will help us to reduce the consumption of fast food and prevent people from becoming addicted to it. If we want to eat junk food, we can have less portions of it, once a week. 
Overall, fast food is injurious to health and the negative influence of fast food on people is increasing day by day.
