Suck On that, McHaters!

Here's an article about a woman that lost weight eating McDonalds: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8916080/
If you've never seen the movie Supersize Me, I'll summarize it for you: a fit man(Morgan Spurlock) decides to eat nothing but McDonalds for a month. he becomes very, very unhealthy in that month. The woman in the article ate nothing but McDonalds and lost weight. What's the difference? Portion Control

To be fair, Morgan made very strong points about portion control in the movie, but the McHaters out there seem to have missed it. Most restaurant foods are high in calories, but they can be part of a healthy diet if you exercise some common sense.

As an aside, the doctors Morgan talked to all said that fast food shouldn’t ever be a part of a diet after seeing how sick he was getting. It seemed entirely reactionary. They would probably say the same thing about chocolate cake if he ate it for 30 days straight.
