I was watching Netflix the other day, and I saw this movie called \"Fat Head\" on there. The film is somewhat of a rebuttal to the movie \"Super Size Me\" where filmmaker Morgan Spurlock goes on a 30-day 'diet' that involves eating nothing but McDonald's. While he's eating the McDonald's, Spurlock gains like 27 pounds because he eats around 5,000 calories a day and doesn't exercise.<\/p>\n
Anyways, the guy who does Fat Head, Tom Naughton, also goes on a 30-day McDonald's binge; however, he doesn't eat 5,000 calories a day, and he cuts carbs down to around 100 a day. This means not ordering french fries or super-sizing meals - both of which Spurlock did.<\/p>\n
The idea here is that Naughton is showing what B.S. Super Size me is because Spurlock went out of his way to gain weight. After all, gaining almost a pound every day is a little excessive by any standards. Fat Head also takes a look at all of the diet myths that exist, including the belief that a low calorie, low fat diet is actually good for you, and that cholesterol is what causes heart attacks.<\/p>\n
What's amazing is that the 5'11\", 205-pound Naughton managed to lose a few pounds using his McDonald's diet, and he maintains healthy blood pressure as well. Now I'm not advocating that you go out and eat McDonald's assuming you're a bodybuilder like me. But you shouldn't completely cut fat out of your diet either (unless it's trans fat). Also, you might find Fat Head to be a pretty good movie just like I did.<\/p>\n
