Pittsburg, Kansas | Calorie restrictions, if enough, will cause weight loss. I did something similar during my divorce over 40 years ago. Not limited to McDonald's, but mostly fast food.
It worked. Then over the next 5-10 years put it all back on and then some and became diabetic.
The problem with calorie restriction with a diet consisting of lots of carbohydrates is a person ends up being hungry all the time. If a person has the willpower to overcome constant hunger, more power to them. Most don't.
What finally succeeded for me was finding an eating pattern where I could eat the amount I wanted to be satisfied yet foods that would not raise my blood sugar and resulting insulin levels. That involved cutting out most of the carbohydrates and increasing the meat protein and meat fat. Plus cutting out the empty calories of vegetable oil. Lost 100 pounds and reversed my diabetes doing that. Four and a half years successful now.
I'm at McDonald's right now, LOL. I ordered coffee and a sausage biscuit. Drank the coffee, ate the sausage, threw away the biscuit.
If the guy would have ate only the McDonald's meat and threw away everything else (or better, just not ordered it), he could have eaten all he wanted, not been hungry, and still lost weight and better blood markers.
Different ways of doing it. Calorie restriction diets have been failures for many people, my wife and I included. My wife MILTIPLE times. Maybe time for people to try a different approach?
