Teacher John Cisna Says McDonald's Diet Helped Him Lose Weight -- But Is It Actually Healthy?
"By the end of the 90-day project, Cisna lost 37 pounds from his 280-pound frame, and his cholesterol came down 79 points"
And to make the challenge more difficult they tried to stay within nutritional guidelines, i.e. a healthy diet.
"His students quickly found that they couldn't keep him at 2,000 calories while still fulfilling the 15 nutritional guidelines, and chose to sacrifice his calories instead of his daily recommended nutrients"
Im tired of people acting like they are better than McDonalds. Its like, you may have never set a foot in McDonalds, but you have your own McDonalds, maybe instead of buying a Big Mac, you read Us Weekly. Hey, thats still McDonalds. Its just served up a little different. Maybe your McDonalds is telling yourself that Starbucks Frappuccino is not a milk shake or maybe you watch Glee - Jim Gaffigan.
Are you serious?
I AM better than McDonald's. So are you. Of course we are better than that tasteless, vile garbage they sell. We're the richest country in the world and yet we consider McDonald's to be "food"?
McDonald's, and other fat food chains, are just another example of us paying huge corporations to make us sick. If you would not give your little child a cigarette, then why would you buy them a "Happy Meal"? Cripes, I wouldn't even feed that to my dog.
I have never said people should eat only "good for you" food. Of course I have my guilty pleasures but no, I don't consider gargling with fat and grease to be a good thing.
Do you want to live forever?
Not me, I've lived long enough.
I haven't lived long enough. Not yet.
But, much more important is that I feel and look good for as long as possible. I don't want to be sick, diseased, fat and I really like good food.
But that's just me.
YMMV
