"Man loses 56 pounds after eating only McDonald's for six months"

"John Cisna, a high school science teacher in Colo, Iowa, who gained national attention for his experiment, says he has lost 56 pounds, lowered his cholesterol and lost a total of 21 inches off his chest, waist and hips while dining only at the fast food emporium."
As enthusiastic as Cisna is about the results, even he’s incredulous about what he’s done. He documents his experience, which ends on March 15, in the new book, ”My McDonald's Diet.”

“It’s kind of scary to realize that in nine days, I’ll have spent half a year of my life eating nothing but McDonald’s,” ... read more

I eat at McDonalds occasionally so I don't have any trouble believing this. If you restrict calories sufficiently you will lose weight. This being said, the guy is still technically obese and not in great shape for 54 so I can't see McDonalds rushing to use this in an advertising campaign.

He also walked 45 minutes each day.

Once again, it's less what we eat than how much.

Calories in, calories out.

He could have eaten 2000 calories of butter & red meat every day, or 2000 calories of Kale, Yogurt, and Brown Rice and he would have lost the same weight.

I'm amazed he could lose 2 lbs a week on 2,000 calories and 45 minutes of walking. Just being 250 must burn a lot calories.

Read the work of Gary Taubes to learn more about how what you eat matters.

I don't think eat the same thing every day for months and months.

this story remins me of Wade Bogs and his chicken only diet.

This is ridiculoso.

I hate this story for its lack of imagination. He had a salad everyday for lunch. Let's look how this must go for one month for a normal person
