Comments on: The McDonald’s Diet: Man Lost 86 lb.

Of course he lost weight on salad and apple dippers without caramel sauce. He would have lost weight if he did the same thing at Wendy's eating the same food, or if he made the salad himself at home. Due to the release of "Super Size Me", a lot of restaurants added healthier items to their menu. This is really not hard to figure out. Something is really wrong when the obvious is stated. Aren't there any other important stories out there? Is this guy a plant for McDonald's even though it says he's not? Really ... (Shaking Head) Why is this a news item?

Simply filling out their info (with bogus name and address, of course) takes you to a page that gives you the first paragraph. If you want to read more, it's by paid subscription only.

You mean to tell me that if I go from eating 5000 calories a day, more than twice what a normal adult is supposed to eat, and starve myself on salads I'll lose weight? If Only I'd known! Seriously though, this is ridiculous. It has nothing to do with McDonalds food. And I'd just like to point out that there is a significant difference between thin and healthy. Just because he lost weight doesn't mean he's any healthier than he was before. Really?!

Now if he lost weight eating big macs and filet o fishes, then of course McD's would be hiring him as a spokesperson, but only from eating salads? Fugghedaboutit All he ate was salads?

I think its funny how he talks about how he is not interested in becoming a McD's spokesperson because earlier in the article it says that McD's is not interested in hiring him as one. 1200 calories a day and all he ate was salads.
