Hey kids, don’t get any bright ideas from this teacher.
Reminiscent of 2004’s documentary Super Size Me where Morgan Spurlock eats Mcdonald’s every day for an extended period of time and basically ruins his body, a Iowa teacher decided to do the same thing.
Although this time, the opposite happened. Science teacher John Cisna lost 37 pounds on his 90-day McDonald’s only diet and even saw his cholesterol level drop significantly.
Yep, that happened.
Working out, however, wasn’t exempt.
During the experiment, Cisna walked for 45 minutes every day, and by the 90th day he reported that he’d lost 37 pounds. He also reported that his cholesterol had dropped from 249 to 170. He said he was able to get healthier simply because he made smart choices.
Cisna enlisted his students to help him plan out a 2,000-calorie daily diet plan consisting only of food sold by the fast food giant. They also tried not to exceed recommended allowances of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fat calories and cholesterol.
For example, Cisna ate two egg white delights and a bowl of maple oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch, he usually ate a salad. And for dinner he ordered a value meal complete with burgers, fries and ice cream. And yes, he still managed to keep off the pounds.
“It’s our choices that make us fat,” Cisna told KCCI. ”Not McDonald’s.”
After filling in the local franchise about his experiment, Cisna was given all of the items free of charge.
But don’t try this at home just for free burgers and fries. You might end up like him:
We’re warning you.
