    The salads and wraps aren't that bad nutrition and calorie wise. But 6 months?! naaaahhhh I'm good.

    You mean a human bottle rocket. Has anyone seen the South Park episode with the asian food giant crap bono episode?

    If I were only to eat McDonald's for six months I'd probably lose a lot too. Mostly by losing the will to eat.

    I'm very dubious about that movie because Morgan Spurlock refuses to release the diary of what he actually ate. I seem to remember people calculating that he must have been eating a lot more than he claimed to gain the amount of weight he did.

    Eating McDonalds every day is not healthy by any means, you will miss out on a lot of micronutrients. That said, macronutrients are 10x more important in my opinion. I think it might be psychological if you feel bad every time you eat McDonalds. I ate some tonight as part of a balanced weekly diet and feel perfect.

    My thought exactly! I lost 12 pounds after a bout of food poisoning last month…I can easily imagine losing 56 pounds after 6 months of food poisoning. :drinker: :sick:

    And some people lose weight by binging and purging.

    I'm not saying you can't have it every once in a while as part of a balanced diet. You're doing it the correct way. The point was that you could eat there all the time, lose weight, and seemingly be perfectly ok. I think not. Someone could eat nothing but peanut M&Ms, stay under their calorie, and lose weight. But will they be healthy? Probably not.

    This is a false equivalence. The McDonald's menu and specifically the food this particular person was eating is a lot more varied and includes far more micro and macronutrients than a diet composed entirely of peanut M&Ms.

    I'd get bored with the menu after a month. I've never really been a fast food person, it was always a special treat growing up or if we were on the way someplace we'd stop but it was never 3x a week like it is for a lot of folks. I'd love to have one now and then but 5.00 for just a burger isn't worth it.
