The diet wasn't the hack. The data collection before, during, and after, while changing the diet was the hack.

  Lying about being alcoholic (his liver) is also a hack. He hacked the MDs. Besides the lying though it would have been better to stick to the one thing that he was investigating: fast food. He already had some ridiculous extra requirements like always finishing his meals and a high calorie count (the former sounds like some ingrained motherly “finish your meal!” scorning latent in the psychology of some adults, not a fast food thing per se). But he also stopped exercising and restricted his steps per day. It is much more interesting to change only one variable in your life when that variable is the thing that you are supposed to be critiquing. Or else change the investigation to “Average American Me”.
