Fair food in general is not a great option for those who are trying to lose weight. Everything is battered, deep fried, and full of either sugar or fat. While the Tennessee State Fair has thus far managed to avoid the most cringe-worthy choices available in other fairs, such as Deep Fried Butter and Deep Fried Coke, it still has its share of offerings to make your cardiologist cry. Here are some of the worst.

Deep Fried Goo Goo Clusters

This dish has the label of "The Official Food of the Tennessee State Fair", but it should really be sponsored by one of the local hospitals. You take a chocolately, marshmallowy candy bar that contains 230 calories on its own, you dip it in a high calorie batter, and you dunk it in fat. It looks disgusting and what it does to your waist line is even more so.

Hot Beef Sundae

On its surface, the hot beef sundae actually sounds kind of healthy relative to other fair foods. It isn't deep fried and actually contains meat and potatoes, which do contain some nutrients. The downfall to this dish is in the massive portions. You take two huge scoops of mashed potatoes, cover that with a fistful of cheese, then layer on a giant scoop of beef, more cheese, and then slather the whole thing in gravy. If you have 2-3 people to split this with, it isn't a horrible fair food option, but most people eat it, and its over 1000 calories, alone.

Funnel Cake Sundae

Funnel Cakes are one of the most traditional high fat fair foods, but with the recent advent of "deep fried everything" they've lost some of their luster. So it's not surprising that the funnel cake vendors have entered the culinary arms race to remake this traditional funnel cake. A fat reduction overview can help you establish a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to complete your fat reducing purpose if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more enhance step of their weightloss plan. Applying are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your own weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss plans have misled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by leading to a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Enter the funnel cake sundae. A traditional funnel cake, already loaded with grease and calories, is stopped with scoops of ice cream and a huge portion of whipped cream. The only good thing about this food is, when you have your heart attack, the chemicals contained in all of the ingredients will probably be enough to embalm you by themselves and save the undertaker the job.

Bucket O' Fries

Livestock aren't the only ones who get their feed from a bucket as the new trend at the Tennessee State Fair is the Bucket O' Fries, which is pretty much exactly what it says. Greasy fries in a portion big enough to feed some African villages for a year. If the Bucket O' Fries isn't meeting your fat and calorie needs alone, you have the option of a quicker suicide by adding chili and cheese to your bucket.
