Science Teacher: Lost 37 Lbs Eating McDonalds

John Cisna, a science teacher at Colo-Nesco High School in Colorado, inverted the film Super Size Me by eating only McDonalds food – and claims to have lost weight.

Cisna employed his students to assist him in a meal plan of 2,000-calories per day intake while only consuming food produced by McDonalds.

The science teacher explained: “I can eat any food at McDonald’s (that) I want as long as I’m smart for the rest of the day with what I balance it out with.”

Part of the test was to keep strictly to the caloric intake while taking measurements of “carbohydrates, proteins, fat calories and cholesterol”.

For breakfast, Cisna ate:

• Two egg white delights
• A bowl of maple oatmeal
• 1% milk

For lunch, Cisna ate a salad; and for dinner a value meal would be chosen.

Dinner combos included Big Macs, quarter pounder with cheese, sundaes and ice cream cones.

In combination with eating McDonalds, Cisna walked for nearly an hour daily.

Within 3 months, Cisna claimed he had lost 170 pounds.

One of the by-products found by Cisna was “large improvement in [Cisna’s] blood now that he’s capping his nutrients at the recommended daily levels.”

The science teacher attributed his weight loss to better meal choices.

Cisna declared to media: “It’s our choices that make us fat. Not McDonald’s.”

Interesting enough, Cisna’s experiment is perfectly timed to follow the debacle over McDonalds website that warned employees against eating their own food.

Before McDonalds removed their website McResource Line (MRL), the corporation admonished to stay away from their products.

One post on the site read: “Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight.”

The MRL states that fast food contains unhealthy amounts of calories, salt, fat and sugars that leads to medical conditions such as:

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure

According to McDonalds, copious amounts of mayonnaise, bacon, cheese and other processed additives are not conducive for a healthy lifestyle and employees are told to choose restaurants that offer sandwiches, soups and vegetables as viable options.

Last year, at an investor’s conference, Don Thompson, chief executive officer, explained that salads only make up 2% of their US sales.

Thompson said: “I don’t see salads as being a major growth driver in the near future.”

To make sure their profit margin increases, McDonalds will begin pushing hamburgers and chicken sandwiches to make customers want fruit and vegetables. Because the McWraps have tomato, cucumber slices and shredded lettuce, McDonalds sees this as a way to give customers a healthy option.

Thompson claims to eat McDonalds “every, single day” while so commenting that “balance is really important to people.”

He remarked that people can eat at McDonalds every day and still lose weight.

At the same time Thompson announced that he has begun exercising more and lost 20 pounds, McDonalds released the Mega Potato, the item on their menu with the highest caloric count. This item is worth 1,142 calories which is more than half the recommended calorie intake of an average woman.

Ironically, McDonalds is pushing their meat products, such as the Big Mac and double cheeseburgers, because customers are not buying enough salads.
