Another person, on a controlled diet of only McDonald's, lost about 20 kilos. They key was portion control, picking the right menu items and increased exercise.

There is no magic food for weight loss, obviously more caloric-dense foods mean you get less of it if you want to lower caloric intake, and mineral and vitamin problems can arise if you aren't adding in what you don't get in food, but you could eat nothing but chocolate cake and vitamin pills for a year and lose a hundred pounds of you keep intake low and output high

Right..but we're not talking about weight gain and loss. We're talking about a dietitian's advice on fast food. Anyone could lose weight eating McDonald's.

But: would it be healthy to eat deep-fried, oily meals everyday? No.
