Correction: Man who Mcdonald's Marketing Manager paid to eat Mcdonald's for 100 days.
You'd be fighting hunger pains though eating all those carbs in small quantity
i’ve lost 20 lbs in 2 months eating mcdonald’s once a day, five times a week. only before i goto into work. i’m able to burn it off do to overnight stocking. i’ve also cut out soda at work and home. cut out 50% of your sugar intake and the weight just drops off. no working out.
This guy got paid… straight 🧢
Well done my man, but they really botched that reveal. 🤷🏽♂️
He lost muscle as well
Carson McDaly looks like he's getting the full meal deal.
So he’s basically just eating small portions of food. That’s the secret?
DUUUUUUUUUMMMMBBBB!!!
Dude on the rights lowkey hating
The power of portion control. I dont know how people do it.
McDonald’s should make this man a millionaire seriously!
Chad Johnson has been proving you can eat McDonalds and stay healthy for over a decade
His GFR(kidney levels) gotta be off from trying to process all that processed food. Great McDonald's PR tho, they desperately needed this to increase more sales. Pass by McDonald's right now & you'll probably notice no lines — no waiting
The title is misleading bc it should have included "half of McDonald's meals or servings"
Carson Daly is trash what a total Jerk.
Try eating salads and low carb. It's actually healthy for you. I wouldn't class McDonald's as food. It's more a case of stuff that should have a public health order put on it.
It's all about those sizes – portion control.
He poisoned himself for a hundred days, then. Just the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil alone on a daily basis is enough to send your LDL and triglycerides sky high. Add those really weak simple carbs from the potatoes and bread, and your blood glucose will also rise significantly—dangerously. Losing weight is irrelevant if all you're doing is slowly killing yourself.
I’m impressed, because I was done with McDonald’s in 2006… The food was stuck in my chest and had to ask the pharmacist who recommended Alka-Seltzer!!! 🤦🏽♀️
How is this possible? All I can think about is Morgan Spurlock's documentary Super Size Me. Morgan Spurlock was eating McDonald's for 30 days three times a day. This was when they still had the super size option. One rule during Morgan Spurlock's 30 day McDonald's diet is everytime he was offered the super size option he would have to take the super size option. There wasn't cutting the meals in half either. Morgan Spurlock gained a significant amount of weight and he even got physically ill half way through. He was even going to a dietary clinic during the whole 30 day diet.
I lost over 50% of my disposal income by eating out so often.
Gross and soon he will be diabetic
That's bizarre!! But, good for him!
MacDonalds Jared
Oh Kevin is a very handsome man.
This is not substainable
I wonder if he’ll become the next Jared Fogle. Only time will tell.
Food is food he just starved himself is all
I am blown away
You can cut calories while eating any food and lose weight. The main issue should be the ingredients in the food which may bring a lot of problems. Everyone is only focusing on calories.
What I don't understand is McDonald's was the reason for obesity some were saying but my problem is is you know what you're getting is not healthy you don't have a gun pointed to your head to eat it I know a long time ago there was a lady who gave her kid so much McDonald's he became extremely obese and tried to sue McDonald's which makes no sense to me if you're obese then watch what you eat not blame somebody else for your poor decisions.
This shows as long as your careful you can eat this food
Takeaway: Just don't overeat.
@2:47, "Half a plate to lose the weight, 3/4 of a plate to maintain the weight."
He thought this out and has a plan.
Seek the heat before you eat
How old is he?
For seven years straight in med school I almost ate fast food everyday. However my BMI was never more than 23. I never ate breakfast, ate one big meal (usually lunch) and had a light snack instead of eating dinner.
Its just about the calorie deficit. IDK why the media and people complicate it.
Why cut everything in half and not just order a smaller size? His method seems like a complicated way of doing the same thing lol. Like he could order a small instead of a large.
The people who say he couldve done it healthier and ate smaller healthier meals. You don't get the point. He won't be craving crap food like you do after a long diet so he will keep the weight off.
Thats a lot of point on the app
If this guy ate half a McDonalds QPC , medium fries and drank water 3 times a day that’s about 1,250 calories a day. That’s the secret here. For him to claim he never counted calories does humanity a large disservice when all he had to do is tell us an average. I love McDonalds but it’s not really a good deal to eat there or at most burger joints when you pay $5 for a 4 ounce patty. A better question these ladies should have asked was “how much money did you give McDonalds over 100 days?”
Calories in vs calories out, as long as you eat less than than you expend you’re going to lose weight. People struggle with this because they will get 2 big macs then have 3-5 more meals plus snacks throughout the day. When you consume 5000+ calories a day and only expend 1500 its no surprise you gain weight.
Carson Daly looks like he could go on a 100 day mcdonalds diet too
Macca's could actually develop a meal plan for 'half meal portions' on their menu!
actor
You can eat any kind of food, as long as you limit the amount of calories, have a good exercise, eat a half a plate, and just walk around. It isn't easy. Just don't be lazy. Though, I will say I feel bad for his bank account. That is an expensive 100 days.
McDonald’s paid him 🤣
So that is what happened to Carson Daley
That's 2000 calorie deficit. This person is just LYING.
I've been eating White Castle for the past month and a half and still not obese. Why? Because I watched what I ate.
It's absolutely surreal to me that people saw this guy's story and it just now dawned on them that maybe eating less is healthier and might stimulate some weight loss. "EAT HALF A MEAL!!" WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BY 2023?!!!??'
For real though, every major study ever done on meal size has proven that those who eat less have longer, healthier lives. That shouldn't shock anyone either.
