Do you often go to McDonald's? You must know that the diet there is not very good for keeping fit and is harmful for health.Yes, I also have read much about that on newspaper. But this story made me surprised:



After reading this, what is your opinion? Is this a soft advertisement coming from McDonald? or Do we need to change our minds about fast food ?????

I find it hard to believe he really ate the meals, sounds like he was starving himself. The salads at mc'donalds (with dressing) in fact have more calories then a standard cheeseburger with toppings. It is possible, but come on, why mc'donalds of all places?..talk about making it hard on yourself.

guess so... well I don't have a McDonald's in my town and I don't know what to say about that, I believe it's possible.. I'm not sure is cheaper but who knows.. not me

Fast food is what it is: bad. I have never really liked it. If it was up to me I would never go to McDonald's, but still I go there about twice a year. Have any of you watched a film named "Supersize me"? Maybe that will convince you (even) more.

Maybe this man's "new diet" contained less calories then the older one. Like someone said further above the dressing on a salad contains a lot of calories. I think that they new food he started eating caused him to loose weight because he did not eat as much as before, or that it did not make him full. Because going on a McDonald's diet does not sound good. Sure, if you ate a lot more food before than maybe. But for the regular guy it would not work.

If this is some advertising from McDonald's then they have just sinked on a new level. Pathetic.

Perhaps he chose McDonald's because the food is so gross, he knew he couldn't eat too much of it!

I don't know why you would pick this food if you wanted to go on a diet...seems like fresh produce would be a much tastier and healthier idea. But different things work for different people I guess.

Of course it's possible, because salads, wraps and apple dippers without the caramel sauce are healthy. If he had eaten the regular meals offered by Macs, this wouldn't be the result. Choice of food also determines your health condition. That's why I never put the blame on fast food chains like Macs of KFC. Sure they weaken us with temptations, but the greatest responsibility still lies in parents teaching their kids to choose the right types of food to eat when they are young. It's a good thing that Macs is offering healthier food now, though if I wanted to eat healthy food, Macs wouldn't be my first choice.

There's a lot of McDonald franchise here. But I don't like eating there. Anyway, my parents never allow me go to McDonald when I was a kid. They say it's unhealthy, and a stupid little me just believe LOL.

It matters on your metabolism. I can eat 2 big macs and a large soda and fries from mc donalds every day with a milk shake and all the candy I want and not gain a pound. One of my friend Adrian is the same.
I know its not good for you though. Thats a obvious duh but who cares nothing is good for you any more... Even just talking on the cellphone can give you brain cancer. I heard star light can even give you cancer =/. Im not to sure on that though. Its possible .

Also exercise and how long you exercise will make a huge diffrence

I don't believe that weight really has to do with your food intake, as much as your metabolism and activity.

For example, during Basic Training in the US Army, we were eating 8500 calorie meals 3 times a day when out in the field. I know of people who would flip out with 2000 in one full day. But at the same time we all lost massive weight due to the fact that we were constantly active.

I'm pretty sure there are many other cases to back this up as well, but I firmly believe that what you eat doesn't have to do with weight as long as you're not just sitting around all day, every day.
