McDonald's Diet

Morgan Spurlock’s movie Super Size Me shows how eating McDonald’s for every meal of the day can lead to obesity. However, this is not entirely true. There are some options at McDonald’s that are healthier than others. When there are no better options, it may be possible to lose weight on the McDonald’s Diet.
