Move Over Jared. The McDonalds Diet is Better Than the Subway Diet
And this should also be a poke to the eye of all those haters out there that think McDonalds is evil, like Morgan Spurlock. The company feeds more people than the United Nations, and its healthier than anything provided by the UN too. You can even lose weight eating there, as proven by Chris Coleson from Virginia.
From the AP here:
A Virginia man lost about 80 pounds in six months by eating nearly every meal at McDonald’s. Not Big Macs, french fries and chocolate shakes. Mostly salads, wraps and apple dippers without the caramel sauce.
Chris Coleson tipped the scales at 278 pounds in December. The 5-foot-8 Coleson now weighs 199 pounds and his waist size has dropped from 50 to 36.
The 42-year-old businessman from Quinton says he chose McDonald’s because it’s convenient.Coleson says his goal is to get back to the 185 pounds he weighed when he married Tricia Summer. Their 10th anniversary is Saturday.
Now the question is- Will McDonald’s try to capitalize on this man’s success to market its fresh food?
