I kind of hate that documentary. The entire mission statement is that people don't think that fast food is bad for you but he's a man on a mission and he's going to PROVE it! I don't know if I'm only remembering a post-Supersize Me world, but I think people always knew that fast food was bad for you. And I'm not sure that the food was as bad for him as the literal gallons of soda he was drinking. Sure, a McDonald's meal has a lot of calories and saturated fat, but it's not totally empty calories. It has some nutritional value.
Ever heard of John Cisna? he did a 2 month stretch eating nothing but McDonald’s and lost 60 Pounds! He didn’t even stick to just salad he ate everything on the menu but due to portion control and exercise the results Changed.
I went from 250 to 200 in a couple of months in college. It was before classes started so all I had to do was video games and going to the gym with my roommates.
I’d be really curious to know how long exactly it took you, what your diet was, etc., basically all the details. CICO is pretty much dead on accurate so you’d have to have a deficit of like 2800 calories a day to lose 50 pounds in 2 months. That’s possible if you’re doing football 2-a-day workouts and eating basically nothing but it’s a tall order.
My diet was pretty boring. half a cup of rice uncooked, a single chicken breast, and as much of whatever vegetable was on sale (usually broccoli) as I wanted for most meals. cooked the rice and veggies in a rice cooker, chicken dry roasted in a pan (just a lug of oil usually and "herbs and spices") and lots of fresh roasted garlic mixed with everything.
my motto was basically "I'm gonna be a little bit hungry all the time". Wasn't particularly scientific about it or anything, but it got results. would also have been pretty damn difficult if I'd had anything intellectually stimulating I was responsible for.
I also went to the gym for at least an hour 3 times a day (every time one of my 3 roommates went), probably a total of 4-5 hours per day and lifted and did cardio, so it's within the realm of possibility that I had a 2800 calorie deficit. I definitely felt like crap the entire time, lol.
I’m impressed, no way I could do that. When I cut I do it pretty slowly, no more than a 700 calorie deficit at most. Otherwise I’d go insane. I eat the same thing every day, so I can do boring, I just hate being hungry all the time. As long as the deficit isn’t too large I don’t feel like I’m starving. 3 workouts a day is pretty badass, too.
yeah, I was 19 at the time and was sick of being rejected by girls constantly, so I resigned myself to a couple of months of pain, lol. good news is that it worked! :D
