    I have seen this article before. No surprise at all. Anyone who eats at a caloric deficit to their TDEE (as he did) will lose weight over time

    That can't be very healthy though.

    I could easily do that because there is NOTHING at McDonald's that I would eat. Even the coffee sucks.

    Did you read the article? He ate appropriate levels of fat, protein and carbs and his cholesterol levels improved. McDonald's does have fruits and vegetables on its menu.

    He also increased his exercise levels considerably during this period and is likely far more healthy now than he was before be began the diet.

    No because I saw the whole story on TV already, but I just don't think those salads that taste like cardboard can be that great.
