    My TIVO recorded this movie for me -- it was interesting to watch. I swore
    off Mickey Dee's a long time ago...

    Can you believe it took over 12 weeks of austerity and working out to undo
    the damage from one month of eating McDo's ???


    Complete b.s. movie which seems to have made this a-hole a star for some
    reason. He didn't just eat there, he ONLY ate there and put rules on
    himself that force fed him into obesity. You can say the same for eating
    in a vegatarian restuarant. That is, put the right rules on and you'll
    end up just as bad.

    Don't believe it? Well, try eating nothing but macaroni & cheese for a
    month and see what happens to you. So would you conclude a vegatarian
    diet is fatal?

    What total idiocy.

    He did, in fact, "overeat". But, he did not do so by order 3 cheeseburgers,
    or 4 cokes, or anything like that.

    Instead, he ordered typical "meals" from their menu, and ordered every item
    on the menu at least once. The point he was trying to make is that
    McDonald's food is (for the most part) fat-laden garbage, and if you eat
    "typical" meals from them, you'll get fat.

    Is that a point worth making? No. Why? Because no one can define what a
    "typical" meal ought to be, Gary. A very active person might not have
    gained any weight. A 90 lb woman might have gained weight eating 1/3 of
    what he ate. How can anyone be expected to determine what everyone can eat
    to maintain weight. That's why McD menus have OPTIONS - you don't have to
    order any "typical" meals, you can simply make your own. And you don't need
    to eat there every meal. It's just silly. I can tell you a zillions ways
    to gain weight really fast.

    You obviously are talking right out of your ass. You might as well return
    from whence you came.

    While I enjoyed the movie and applaud its assault on McD's and
    fast-food in general, I did realize that this guy wasn't even working
    out during that whole month. An Amish farmer on the same McD's diet
    wouldn't have those problems (I say this 'cause the LA Times had an
    article like a year or two ago on scientists studying Amish farmers
    [very active] and craftsmen [more sedentary] who share the same
    high-fat diet).

    He also could have had their salads, and maybe even held back on the
    dressing.

    I was surprised he threw up, though...I haven't thrown up for anything
    since four or five, not even jogging right after chow in the Army.

    He choose a diet that doubled his average calories-
    from something like in 2000s to the 4000s.
    That is buying three full meals a day, and supersizing
    whenever they ask.

    There are people who frequently buy fast without
    gaining weight, buy consuming less than this.

    It's been a while since I saw it, but wasn't there a point in the movie
    where the doctor told him to order the water or diet soda instead of
    regular soda because he was eating like 2500 extra calories per day?
    Instead he chose to drink 2 supersize sodas (some 88 oz, totaling about
    1100 calories per day... in SODA!).

    Is it any wonder? The guy felt like [censored] and kept forcefeeding
    himself... isn't it any wonder his health suffered? Why is that a
    surprise?
