The film documents this lifestyle's drastic effects on Spurlock's physical and psychological well-being, and explores the fast food industry's corporate influence, including how it encourages poor nutrition for its own profit. Spurlock dined at McDonald's restaurants three times per day, eating every item on the chain's menu. He also always "super-sized" his meal if given the option—but only if it was offered. Spurlock consumed an average of 5,000 calories per day during the experiment. As a result, he gained 24½ lbs. (11.1 kg), a 13% body mass increase, a cholesterol level of 230, and experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and fat accumulation to his liverYou can watch the documentary on youtube Here .
Another experiment conducted by Johan Groundstroem in Sweden documented the results of eating only hamburgers for 90 days. In 90 days, he lost weight steadily from 127.7kg at the start of the diet to approximately 90kg. Professor James Painter of Eastern Illinois University's School of Family and Consumer Sciences made the documentary "Portion Size MeBoth students lost weight and their cholesterol improved by the end of the experiment.
The problem with most fast food is that it makes it far too easy and relatively cheap for people to consume too many calories. The second most important thing is that meat is low glycemic (bread is medium on the glycemic scale) while fries, soft drinks and sweetened foods are high glycemic and more prone to deposit fat. They are, in other words, the wrong kinds of food.
