It's not the usual diet recommended to drop those stubborn remaining pounds, but Doug Logeais ate only McDonald's for a month and lost weight.

The 40-year-old was determined to get rid of the flab, but also wanted to treat himself by eating at his favourite fast-food restaurant - albeit the healthy option.

And amazingly after sticking with his bizarre diet for 30 days, he lost 15lbs - shedding more than half in the first week alone.

I've tried every diet in the book, but the only way for me to lose weight was eating at McDonald's every day,' said Logeais, who had no involvement from the fast food giant in his experiment.

'I'm not kidding - only McDonald's, 30 days, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

'The slogan at McDonalds is 'I'm Lovin' It'. For me it's 'I'm Losin' It' because the weight just came right off,' he added.

Logeais's experience is in stark contrast to that of filmmaker Morgan Spurlock.

In his famous 2004 documentary, Super Size Me, Spurlock limited himself to eat only McDonald's food for 30 days.

As a result the 32-year-old Spurlock gained 24-and-a-half pounds, a 13 per cent body mass increase and experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction and liver damage.

What on earth is this healthy option thing?

EDIT: Did you see the photo's, not only did he loose weight, but he also nurtured a fantastic tan and his hairline receded another 1cm. So, I can also logically deduce that Mc Donalds aged him about one year and gave him a fantastic tan in one month. :rolleyes:

Well, as we all know, they don't always do what they are supposed to. I think the only place he was asked every time if he would like to "super-size" his meal, was in Texas.

'They have a great breakfast burrito, with sausage and egg,' he said of his diet choices.

'For lunch I would have either a grilled chicken snack wrap or a side salad.

'And for dinner I would always go for one of their larger salads.
However it wasn't just all down to following a McDonald's diet.

'You can't just eat this and lose weight - you have to exercise as well,' he said.
'There's a lot of cardio that went into this, and a lot of sit-ups as well. I am doing an hour of cardio in the morning, which is either running up a mountain or working out with a trainer three times a week.'

eating salads and doing excercise will help more than just dropping junk food.

The healthy option proves to have the same calories as a burger anyway, with the sauce and such.

There's a guy on that "Super Size Me" doccie that ate more than a million big mac burgers, and when asked why he didn't gain weight he said he forfeits the drinks and the chips and only eat the burger.

He is so well known at the mcdonalds he comes in and his burger is made fresh and ready for him within a minute or so... that was a few years back already

No he did not, he only super sized when he was asked and if i remember he was only asked 8 times of the 90 odd meals he ate. That was a bad movie in as much as he did not exercise so in theory if you eat badly and do nothing to get rid of the food you will gain weight and that is where he failed i think.
