Yeah sure a woman with 11%bf went down to 10% by eating junk food, yep i believe you! Firstly is impossible to be at 11%bf unless you are in contest shape or if you just trying to starve yourself to death and secondly is impossible to lose weight in a junk food diet unless you were eating 2 fries and a diet coke.

Ever since "Super Size Me" came out we have been blogged on, posted up on, and generally e-inundated with stories of how folks can lose weight and improve body-composition eating only Mcdonalds.

Being an obese type of guy that has been trying to beat this gut since 1974, I get a little twitchy when folks talk about "choices" in food making us overweight. Obesity for me and for many is a disease of the mind. I could not find an effective way to beat it until I found out I had type 2 diabetes and read Tom Venuto's e-book "Burn the fat, Feed the muscle".

I want to share this with the author. When some obese people hear others talk about "better food choices" two things happen. We know we are not listening to a person who has won the battle (unless of course they are a real tool), and we experience stress. Stress is defined as the natural reaction that occurs when the mind overides the body's... well, you all have heard that before.

The article is an intelligent well written counterpoint to Mr. Spurlocks film. When it comes to addressing the underlying cause of obesity it is as inept as the body of work that inspired it.

McDonald's is not the devil or our bodybuilding salvation. It is cheap, readily available processed food. It is the Almighty's way of letting you know why you should have better prepared yourself for the workforce. Keep the Mac Attack sacred for what it is, a well deserved occasional cheat meal.

Even though I have been involved in soccer, wrestling, kickboxing, and weighlifting on and off since the mid-seventies (My favorite book of all time is Franco Columbu's "Winning Bodybuilding") I cannot really claim to be an expert. Since the greatest success I have had after thirty years has been with Tom Venuto's program, I can call him one.

Are y'all ready for this? Articles like this are a nice diversion and when they are well written like this one they can be a great recreational read. If you, like me, just know you have a monster physique lurking beneath that flab, skip this fluff and hit Tom's main page.

PEACE

P.S. - if the workout question of the week ever concern's the best cardio, I am probably going to write about chasing Richard Simmons through the Mcdonald's parking lot with a small kettlebell if he says anything to me about my cheat meal "choice" after a really dialed in week..........

while i do believe it is possible to eat healthy at fast food restaurants on occasion - lets face it, the average patron at a mcdonalds is going to order a bunch of crap, and their physiques will clearly show it... i don't think this study proves anything, because i believe it clearly deviates from the predicted, expected, and established behavior patterns exhibited by the average patron at a fast food restaurant. is it possible to eat healthy? obviously it is based on this study, but is it likely? sort of like the "real world" versus what you can document in a lab if all the conditions are just perfect? personally, i found this article to be a complete waste of time because in the end it really proves nothing...

so ubelievable, im supposed to believe its possible to consume 1g/lb of bodyweight in protein from maccys food without ingesting 4000+ calories, and where are the complex carbs? ooo what abt the healthy fats?? give me a break this is utter nonsense, www.mcdonalds.co.uk and check out their nutriton calculator if u can create a reasonable 40/40/20 2500 calorie diet with that crap i will happily buy you a Big Mac

maybe for a skinny ass woman who weights v little but what about a regular overweight dude 200pounds plus?

God Damn This Is Total ****ing Bull**** I Do Not Want This On The Site This Is The Most Stupid Thing Ever Posted On The Website. Moderators Take This Down. Do You Honest-to-god Think That A Multile-trillion Doller Corperation Would Really Sweat Over Creating A Fake Fat Loss Meal Plan For Their Products!?!??! This Is A Dupe. Part Of The Reason I Was 29% Body Fat Was Fast Food, This Article Does Not Belong On This Otherwise Amazing Website And Doesn't Even Belong On The Internet.

Supersize Me is about the average consumer not a fitness instructor eating McSalads and Diet Coke for a month. Spurlock was illustrating a point about the eating habits of Americans, not taking a "challenge".

I think what everyone misses from the article is the selection of healthy choice. It's very possible and as a trial and error victim to many diets this is just a change in choice. A little bit healthier a little bit more structured and less orders of fries make this whole plan possible.
The author knows what she's talking about and has some great low fat choices for the common person... Check out her diet journal on Amazon.

The offer is still on: construct a reasonable cutting diet for a 200lb male (edit:from the mcdonalds menu) and i will buy you a Big Mac
