  • Is fast food really that bad for you?

  • What would happen if I ate nothing but McDonald's for 30 days straight?

  • I knew if I was going to do this I would needsome serious medical supervision.

  • Your blood tests are perfect, your cholesterol is 168, it's superb, the salt on you blood, your kidney function,

  • your liver function, they are all perfect.

  • It is the first day and I'm on my way to breakfast

  • I got my egg, my ... this is going to be the first thing right there

  • Oh, I love Big Mac. This is the first time in a long time I've actually seen a Big Mac and it looks like the picture.

  • Hello, can I help you? Yeah can I get a double quarter pounder with cheese meal?

  • Look at that, Look at that coke, it barely fits in there. Look how big that french fries. That thing is like 4 feet tall.

  • Double quarter pounder

  • That's a lot of food, man

  • 10 minutes later

  • Thats the time of the meal when I get my stomach ache, and now I got some gas, ...

  • My arms feel like there is some sweat going. My arms got some twitches here because of all the sugar.

  • I'm dying

  • My stomach feels horrible this morning. Doesn't feel good at all.

  • I'm getting this really weird feeling right in my mid section feels like this

  • A bit freaky.

  • That is very odd 'yeah'

  • You know, when you quit smoking. I don't know how many of you smoke but you should stop.

  • I quit smoking and theres the 3 day hump. If you can make it over those 3 days

  • without smoking one cigarette, you pass day 1, day 2, day 3, you make it over the hump, you'r fine.

  • Same thing with this. I made it past day 3, I'm all right.

  • In the lawsuit against them, McDonald stated in their own defense that it's a matter of common knowledge

  • that any processing that its foods undergo served to make them more harmful

  • than unprocessed foods.

  • Originally created from old chickens that can no longer lay egs, McNuggets are now made from chicken with unusually large breasts.

  • They are stripped from the bone and groundup into a sort of chicken mash

  • that is then combined with all sorts of stabilizers and preservatives pressed into familiar shapes,

  • gretted, deep fried, freeze-dried and shipped to a McDonalds near you.

  • Judge Robert Sweet called them a McFrankenstein creation of various elements

  • not utilised by the home cook.

  • Now I started with a chest pain, not a chest pain but like pressure.

  • Here I am, pressure on my chest I figure that is probably not a good thing

  • "can I help you?"

  • "Can I get the quarter pouder with cheese value meal?"

  • I don't feel good today. Not only I feel sick but I feel really depressed you know, for no reason.

  • Things are going great, I had a good day I just feel really...

  • I got my chicken group, that's my cholesterol group,

  • I got my protein group, I got my meat group.

  • You got meat, meat, sugar and fat.

  • My headaches coming back again, feel like something ..... on my tendons behind my eyes

  • my body officially hates me.

  • All the vitamines you see here vitamin E thiamin Riboflavin,

  • Niacin and so on,

  • are all under 50% of what you need. look your ... was 165 before, now it is 225

  • Your liver is sick and most likely the cause of your sickness is a fatty liver.

  • My advice to you is

  • to stop doing what you'r doing because it's hurting you.

  • I woke up and couldn't breath really difficut breathing and I'm very hot and felt like I was having heart palpitations

  • came up and went to the living room just trying to get my breath back and I wanna finish, but don't want anything bad to happen either.

  • Absolutely outrageous. For the first time we are seeing uric acid elevated,

  • so you'r giving yourself hyperuricemia and the danger of hyperuricemia

  • is gout, kidney stones, the results for your liver are

  • obscene beyond anything I would have thought

  • Yeah trully

  • In this month I have eaten as much McDonalds as most nitritionists say you'r supposed

  • eat in 8 years

  • walk up the stairs has gotten certainly really difficult

  • by the time I get to the top it's really pathetic

  • over the course of my Mc diet I consumed thirty pounds of sugar from their food

  • that's a pound a day. On top of that I also took in twelve pounds of fat.

  • In only 30 days of eating nothing but McDonalds I gained 24,5 pounds

  • my liver turned to fat and my cholesterol shot up 65 points

  • my body fat percent went from 11 to 18, still below the national average of 22

  • percent for men and thirty percent for women. I nearly doubled my risk of

  • coronary heart disease making myself twice as likely to have heart failure

  • I felt depressed and exhausted most of the time, my mood swung on a dime and I craved

  • this food more and more when I ate it and got massive headaches when I didn't,

  • and on my final blood test

  • many of my body functions showed signs of improvement but the doctors were less

  • than optimistic "Should people eat fast food"?

  • "no, the answer is no"

  • It certainly needs to be very restricted and

  • balanced with overall healthy diet.

  • but unfortunately you'r causing major harm to your heart, your liver, your blood.

  • I guess the big question is:

  • who do you want to see go first

  • You or them.
