I'm Lovin' Weight Loss

Linky binky.

Broski eats McDiabetees (and only McDiabetees) for 3 months and loses weight and lowers his cholesterol.

So apparently, McDonalds doesn't make people fat. People make people fat. Although, I want to know how much salt is in his body. I feel like Ghandi would walk to him.

More accurately, the food itself doesn't make you fat - the portion sizes that McD's implies make you fat. If you limit yourself to 2000 calories a day, that's another matter.

Note that a Big Mac, Large Fries, and Large Coca Cola will run you 1330 calories right there. If you try to eat three meals a day there without specifically limiting the calorie intake, you will probably see results more like Spurlock's

As has been pointed out before, not even eating like Spurlock gets the same results that he got.

I don't really understand the article. It says he restricted his calories and consequently lost weight. This isn't news to me; it's what happens when you restrict your calories.

Though 2000 is not particularly restrictive. But maybe it is for him.

2000 is supposed to be the daily average for an adult.

The interesting thing is the lowered cholesterol. Maybe McDonalds isn't as bad as people say it is.

McDonald will always be tasty and horrible for you. The stuff is just processed to death. Good news is, butter is back on the menu...or it never left.

Cholesterol, specifically, is highly dependent on your particular body. How much cholesterol you take in is important, but your body also produces the stuff, and many of us produce more than we need - and how much you produce can also depend upon your diet.

Okay, so you can eat nothing but McDonalds and still lose weight.

My big question is this, though: why would you want to?

At the very least, surely you would want to vary your fast food provider, simply out of boredom? But, really, wouldn't you be much better off learning how to cook, putting a little thought in, and thus getting to eat better tasting, healthier food, for a fraction of the cost, getting quicker results, and getting the satisfaction of picking up a beneficial skill (not to mention of being able to say "I made this!")?

How often do humans really do what they'd be much better off doing? I mean, in general, how often do we approach optimum behavior?

Very true. I'm just bamboozled by someone who would take one good decision ("lose weight") and then adopt almost the worst possible means to achieve that.
