Well, there is another person who did the same thing as him but lost weight.

It came down to him doing absolutely nothing during the day.

That was part of his "experiment". He decided he was supposedly going to live like an average american and see what health effect a McDonalds diet would have. Supposedly the average american does very little walking each day and gets little to no exercise.

The guy who lost weight did so recently, after McDonalds added more healthy options to their menu, and he only ate salads and wraps.

A girl also did it, but didn't just eat salads and wraps. She ate cheeseburgers and all that too.
