Yep, it was called "Fat Head." The exercise regime wasn't even that strict, it was basically continuing the regular walking the documentarian already did. However, the food intake was strictly limited to 1800 calories and less then 100g of carbs per day. The goal being to show fast food isn't inherently unhealthy, it was the quantity (as already noted above) being eaten in Super Size Me that was unhealthy. In that regard, Fat Head succeeded as the documentarian's health metrics all improved (lot weight, lower blood pressure, better cholesterol measurements).
- glandium 10y agoNote that the premise of "Super Size Me" was to get the "Super Size" menu whenever asked by the Mc Donald's counter clerk, leading to overconsumption.
- dogma1138 10y agoYes, but the overall point remains if you overeat you'll get fat regardless of what it is. You can actually get a balanced daily diet out of mcdonalds if you ask for unsalted fries and get one of their salads once in a while. Honestly sodium aside the only thing you need to do not to over eat at MC is to get water instead of soda and just regular sized burger. It will be around 600-700 cals per meal with fries which means you can eat 3 of those a day and maintain weight or even lose some depending on your age, sex, bodymass and daily regiment.
