I personally do not get a satiety feeling from anything except fat.

If I eat a bunch of fat, of any sort, I may get a feeling that I
simply do not want to eat anymore. Lean meat, to a lesser extent.

Everything else does not give me the feeling satiety, I simply know,
intellectually, where to stop, and can stop. (portion control)

All commercial/prepared food, including McDonalds, besides being a
ripoff financially, is made so that it is hard to stop eating it, for
obvious profit reasons. Of all commercial food, McDonalds is quite
possibly the better food.

McDonalds serves all kinds of foods, sundae, brownies and french fries
being the worse example, and hamburgers being better examples, as far
as my own diet preferences go.

Oh, that was my experience too, before I seriously tried to listen to what
my body was trying to say... There was a time when I could eat a 600g
(1.3lbs) industrial pound cake at 4pm and *still* eat a dinner after that
(or throw up to make some room and have dinner anyway, or a second cake plus
dinner or something crazy like that).
Besides, I don't think it's a matter of junk food or not... I wouldn't
consider cheese or nuts junk food either, and I get the exact same feeling
with them... This is an experiment and exercise I have done with plenty of
food during my "training" : French fries, cheese, cakes, cookies, chocolate,
nuts... Some felt stronger than others (cake was especially impressive, one
mouthfull to the next and *poof* felt the cake uneappealing), but there was
always a point when I could detect I had had enough...

Well, if it was so simple, there would not be any overweight people, right?
;) It actually very easy to set your mind in such a way that you completely
wreck your regulation systems. So easy it's frightening. When I think I
could eat *600g* of high calorie stuff (I mean, cake like that is around 500
cal per 100g - that's 3000 cals in one go!) and only feel a slight stomach
unease, it sounds crazy. Nowadays, if I try to eat a single waffle after my
dinner when I'm not hungry anymore, I will just find it unappealing. If I do
force myself to eat it, I will feel nauseated and heavy. The brain is indeed
a frightening and powerful thing...
I do some talks with my nutritionist about other patients. She has had
people who take a long while to recover proper feelings. One of the women
she's treating is only beginning to feel when she's hungry, after one year
of trying. But she still cannot experience satiety fully...

No I didn't. I commented on someone else saying that someone else
missed the point of the documentary.

What would be greatly interesting is to measure your blood lipids
prior to and post that one month.

The point and what was delivered are two different things-I'm still up
in arms as to what the real point was-although I found some humor in
it I was left wondering if he wanted to tell a story or document it.

You look wonderful. Shows that hard work pays off and it is all worth
it. Kudos.

Well done!

I don't see the big deal of eating fast food. Why do ppl degrade it
that much.Because it makes us fat. Not really,you have to control of
what you put in your mouth.I ate mcdonalds almost every single day and
lost 80 pounds in 3 months.I'll tell you how I did it.I ate once a
day,around 9pm,i ordered a either a bigmac meal,or mcchicken
meal,supersized,but i drank diet coke instead of the regular
coke.That's roughly 1000 calories. I did absolutely no real
excercise.Sure i may have walked here or there,or moved quite a bit a
day,but it's not like i got my water bottle and went for a run or a
walk on a path.I just had bloodwork done a few days ago,my cholesterol
is now in the normal range,my blood pressure is amazing,and everything
else is "perfect" according to the doctor.Hmmm yeah mcdonalds is
really that bad.

It matters how many calories you eat.Hell if you like the taste of
vegetables,or fruits go for it,personally,i dont like to eat fruits or
vegetables.But i do get my nutrients from all the different types of
vitamins i take in the morning.And no my metabolism has no
decresed.Since the end of my 3 months mcdonalds diet,i have been
eating around 3000 calories a day,and weight training for about 45
minutes a day+ a bike ride around my community,and i have not gained a
single pound.I'm still losing about 2 pounds of pure fat a week.My
resting heart rate is in the normal range.I weighed about 270 lbs,now
im about 170 and i'm cut.Thanks mcdonalds.I liked the food i ate.Sure
i starved myself during the day,but it was so easy because i knew in
the evening a nice bigmac meal was waiting for me.Sure it was salty
and it had alot of fat,but it tasted so goddamn good.And i slept like
a baby feeling satisfied and full.

I think the ppl that say how could you eat such salty fatty stuff are
just jealous maybe that they can't eat that stuff bcuz if they do,they
cant control their appetite and end up gaining weight.So by telling
others how could u eat this,its bad for you,they are actually trying
to make themselves feel better that others cant enjoy it.Greedy
bastards.We only live once,I'm not going deprive myself of
anything.But the secret is moderation.It's not all or nothing.That's
why "diets" fail.Ppl either completely give up the foods they love
completely until they snap.Then they say this diet doesnt work.That's
bull.Any diet out there works,u just have to eat less.

Ppl who say atkins doesnt work are the ones who failed it.Atkins works
because it supresses appetite because of ketosis.But theres nothing
magical about it.it works if u keep ur calories low.High carb works if
u keep ur calories low.Warrior diet works if u keep ur calories low.
The zone works if u keep ur calories low.See the pattern.Calories is
the key.Excercise burns calories.U can eat 3 pizzas a day and lose a
shitload of fat if u excercise like a mofo.
