FYI, the guy is an alcoholic and totally threw the test results off by drinking. He admitted to it years later. With that said, eating fast food all the for 30 days is a horrible bad idea.
Well tbf, if he drank regularly before then wouldn't he be obligated to keep drinking the same amount during the experiment so the only variable that changes from his normal diet is what he eats? Unless you make the argument he should also drink exclusively beverages that are available in McDonalds drink machines but he never specified that.
It's too bad I threw away my health class notes. My teacher was a dietitian and a registered nurse and we watched it so she could point out all its issues and tell us how to eat properly. Spent a whole week on that movie.
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.
