It wasn't a clinical study, I think the point was merely to show that it was possible for a overweight, borderline obese man to eat only MCD menu items, be satiated and maintain the calorific deficit needed to gradually lose weight, provided basic exercise was maintained.

I don't think the point was to stress that changing to MCD made his diet better (in that case adding exercise is obviously cheating), just to show that it is possible to lose weight and eat MCD.

Taking this as a reference for calorie burned:

http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsweek/Calories-burned-in-30-minutes-of-leisure-and-routine-activities.htm

45 mins walking is about 300 calories burned. Considering that teaching is primarily a pretty sedentary job (outside of class), that's only freeing up an extra 15% of your roughly daily intake needs of 2000 calories.

Not huge. I think the main takeaway here is, junk food or not, if your goal is losing weight (ignoring long term health complications), then it's all about portion control.

@JiggaJonson

As above, I think this is the main issue. I usually want half the portion that take away food outlets offer. Pricing structure then distorts the cost of the smallest size to make the larger 'value meal' much more attractive. One reason why I tend to prefer sashimi eat outs.

No silly. Ant Farm, remember?

I love pasta like lasagna, spaghetti, etc. Here's a list from my personal web site (http://antfarm.home.dhs.org ):

"Food (non-spicy [even minor one bugs or else happens], not too salty (burns), soft without chewing; simple too):

apple (thin slices)
banana (cut to thin slices)
beefs (tiny and soft like Korean barbeque (BBQ)'s bulgogi)
biscuit
bologna
bread (buns) [soft parts -- if crusts are hard, I don't eat them]
burrito skin (soft and moist skin, but inside is not eaten due to hardness)
cake
carrot (soft)
cereal (soften by regular whole/2% milk, not crunchy)
cheddar cheese
chicken (Maceo's aunts )

Chinese meatballs, lion heads, dim sums, dumplings, and wontons (not fried)
chips
cookies (can be moisten)
corn (kernels already removed from plant/ear)
corn dog
curry
soft cracker (can be moisten)
egg, from chickens (scrambled, sunny side up/fried, and boiled [makes abdomen go poopy])
enchilada (soft, non-spicy, lots of sauce, and like lasagna)
fish (bones are problems since due to lack of chewing; salmon is good)
fish and chip (don't usually eat the crust unless it's soft)
French toast (usually avoid it because of syrup that hurts the sensitive teeth)
fruits (soft) except strawberries, cherries, and watermelon (allergic)
grape
grilled cheese (soft breads)
hot dog (has to be soft enough to be cuttable)
Jell-o/jello -- There's always room for it.
lasagna
macaroni and cheese
mash potato with its sauce
meat balls like in spaghettis, Subway
meat loaf
mushroom
noodles (soft; e.g., udon)
oatmeal (non-raw)/porridge
omele(tte)
pancake (usually avoid it because of syrup that hurts the sensitive teeth)
pasta (many types like Bruschetta Chicken from T.G.I. Friday's)
peach with its juice
peas
pineapple (cut into thin slice to make them soft)
pizza (soft crust)
pumpkin pie
pupusa (soft and moist)
quesadilla (soft and inside is moist like Islands Restaurants' version with cheese cream(?) inside and soft cover).
raisin
ravioli
rice with moisture (water/soup) and other food on it (don't like plain rice by itself).
risotto
sandwich (no lettuce and tomatoes)
scallop (soft)
seaweed (in soup)
spaghetti
spinach (to be strong like Popeye and be able to do melees)
sushi (salmon teriyaki, shrimp tempura [not too many or else get sick with a headache, upset tummy, etc.] with miso soup, sashimis, rice, etc.)
tofu
tortilla (soft and moist without the inside due to hardness)
tuna salad (almost like chicken salad)
turkey
waffle (usually avoid it because of syrup that hurts the sensitive teeth)
etc. Any soft, usually moist (warm water usually do), and non-spicy (even a little have impacts) food that your overlord can eat. Avoids very sweet and cold drinks and food due to sensitive, broken, and hard to clean teeth (use two different tooth pastes and oral rinses).
Ant's defected mouth doesn't open wide and cannot chew very well. "

Now, I am hungry. Please feed me!

Then why do people, in the general public, need assault rifles?
