ETA: This is the online version, not the video (I couldn't figure out how to link to the video or embed it).
I was checking Yahoo News headlines this morning, and one of the ABC News headlines was Virginia man loses 86 pounds eating only McDonald's. Diane Sawyer did the reporting, and interviewed him (and his wife). So what did this genius do to lose weight eating only at McDonald's? He limited himself to 1400 calories a day, had just the salads, wraps, and apple dippers, with an occasional cheeseburger/grilled chicken (no bun, he put the meat on the salad, no caramel sauce for the apple dippers).
Diane Sawyer made the comment that 1400 calories a day was a starvation diet, according to the American Dietary Association. Chris said that he figured it was calories in/calories out, that if he burned more calories than he was taking in, he would lose weight. This from a stress eater, who would come home stressed from work and sit in front of the refrigerator and eat (approximately 5,000 calories a day). Can we say he's another Jared? Way to go, Chris, promoting the stereotype of fat people as out-of-control binge eaters (yes, some are, but not every fat person sits in front of the fridge stuffing their face every time they have stress in their lives).
