This Teacher Lost 56 Pounds Just by Eating McDonald's
When you think of McDonald's, chances are you're not thinking of weight loss. It's a guilty pleasure drenched in saturated fat for some, and an absolute NO for others. In fact, nutritionists far and wide seek to provide advice on how to cut fast food joints from your diet in order to lose weight. But one man seems to defeat the odds.
John Cisna is a 55-year-old science teacher who lost 56 pounds from eating absolutely nothing else but McDonald’s for six months. “I ate 540 straight meals at McDonald’s,” he said. But not only did he shed the pounds, he also improved his blood pressure, cholesterol, and other blood profile numbers.
How, you might ask, are people like fitness enthusiasts and professionals responding? Well, quite frankly ... they're pissed.
“This is stupid!” they yell.
“His health would be twice as good if he ate real food.”
“Great, now everyone is going to think they can live off McDonald’s!”
But before you make a similar remark yourself, there's some information you ought to become privy to. First of all, Cisna repeatedly noted that he by no means wants to send a message from his weight loss journey to others that they should try this out themselves. Secondly, this wasn't a bright idea that just came to him one day, rather it was a challenge for his students who were requested to put together his meals with two guidelines:
