The wife was just talking about this guy. He eats half his order at each meal, and the other half at his following meal. It’s a… McDonald’s low cal diet.

McDonald's is bad enough but leftover McDonald's?
Is he sure he hasn't lost 13 lb because of colon cancer?
May the bridges I burn light my way.

My FIL lost a significant amount of weight eating half of every meal. Just pushed the plate away though. He didn’t wrap the leftovers up for dinner.
If you have self control even McDonald’s will work.

BREAKING! BREAKING! BREAKING!
Eating less reduces weight gain, increases weight loss!

Losing a real 13lb in a week in a half means a daily deficit of about 3000kcal.
Not gonna happen.
Especially not on McD's.
He musta drained the fat out of his head.

I read about this guys diet plan (100 days of only McDs to lose weight). Yes, totally stupid.
Hopefully he is under care of a physician and guidance of a dietician. But somehow I am doubting.
McDs USA used to have some semi-healthy choices, like salads -- they were all "quietly" removed around 2020. (and only from the USA market -- for you firners can still get healthy choices).
Is this guys quest to prove the guy from the "Super Size Me" movie wrong?
Who is paying him to pull this stunt? And I don't believe for a moment they only thing he is eating is McDs.
13lbs in a week at the start may be possible. We carry a lot of water weight.

There are two fairly famous cases in the last decade or so of people eating “junk food” and losing significant weight.
One is a high school biology teacher from Iowa named John Cisna who eat nothing but McDonalds
https://www.today.com/health/man-loses- ... 2d79329158
Another is a nutrition professor from Kansas State named Mark Haub who ate almost exclusively snack foods (Twinkies, etc) though he did have a protein shake each day and some vegetables at dinner to set an example for their kids.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/tw ... index.html
Neither one recommends anyone do what they did, but they each lost weight and improved their bloodwork.
It does prove, however, that energy balance, consuming fewer calories than you burn, is the most important factor in weight loss. While some foods are more conducive than others to achieving that goal, no one food in isolation is going to make anyone fat or thin.
Every diet, Atkins, Paleo, vegan, Weight Watchers, you name it, can work for weight loss if it creates a calorie deficit. There’s nothing magical about any of them.
As a trainer friend of mine says “Nobody ever got thin from eating one salad and nobody ever got fat from one donut.”

It's not always so simple. There are factors beyond "calories in vs calories out" that affect how a body metabolizes food and burns fat. It's why most people who try to lose weight fail and part of why 95-97% of people who intentionally lose weight put most or all - if not more - of it back on within 5 years.
Its why I've been fighting my weight my entire life without success no matter how well or how long I stick to any given plan or program. If it was as simple as you say, I'd have been able to lose the weight I needed to in order to get my shoulders fixed years ago - do you honestly think I didn't try? I've gotten suicidal from the frustration of sticking to a program without any success.
I could go on, but I'd just get more depressed and you'd get bored.

Yes, there are other factors. I didn’t say there weren’t. I just said energy balance was the main factor and you can’t lose weight if you’re not in a calorie deficit.Kriselda Gray wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 1:20 am It's not always so simple.

There are, of course, other factors as you said. And while the main concept may be simple, it certainly is not easy. If it were nobody would be fat.
Some are psychological. Willpower is a finite resource that we have use on more than just weight loss. If we’re on a diet that requires us to eat food we don’t like or completely avoid all of our favorite foods, how sustainable is that going to be?
Our environment is another issue. We have very easy access to unlimited amounts of hyper-palatable foods that are relatively cheap while the more nutritious Whole Foods are much more expensive and often more time consuming to prepare.
My experiences are probably not too different than most people Three times in my adult life I’ve lost a significant amount of weight (70, 85 and 40 pounds). Each time , I thought I’d be able to keep it off. Each time I didn’t. I thought the approaches I took were sensible and sustainable, not crazy. But apparently those methods were not sustainable. I’m still trying. I’m still fat. It’s frustrating and I can’t seem to get out of my own way much of the time.
I think the value of Cisna and Haub’s experiments is that it shows that maybe people who want to get their weight under control can be met where they are.
You are correct that by itself “eat less, move more” isn’t very helpful. It’s like telling a clinically depressed person to just cheer up.
I didn’t mean to come off as condescending and I’m sorry that I did. I wish you well.

I actually wasn't upset with you - I had started writing my post before you posted your own, and then got distracted talking to my husband for a couple of hours before coming back to finish writing and submitting it - I hadn't actually seen your post until just now. I'm sorry that it came across otherwise. Thank you for your well wishes - I do appreciate that!

Bet your not bedbound, though, as Kris is. It adds a whole nother dimension to the challenge of losing weight.

True. But you can fiddle with your weight if you want to game some kind of system. I consistently weigh 2-3 pounds less in the morning than at night. It's water loss.

I remember, years ago, hearing an interview on NPR with a doctor who had written a diet book (a real one, not the eat-all-the-chocolate-you-want kind of diet).
I don't remember the doctor's name or the name of the book, but the subtitle was "Eat less, mostly plants".
The interviewer asked the doc if that subtitle didn't sum up the other 450 pages of the book, and the doc replied that it probably did.

You pee the bed every night? A whole litre worth? Wow!

Off Topic
I know someone who pees so much during the night that it overflows her brief and gets the towel and two waterproof pads wet every night. I have no idea how the heck that much pee can be produced and evacuated every single doggone night. But I routinely wash all the waterproof pads and every towel that is reserved for bed use several times per week. I should start weighing her at night and first thing in the morning to see what is the difference

I get up to pee just about every night. Sometimes twice if I've been drinking a lot of ice tea in the evening. But I certainly don't dump a liter/quart when I do. Hot nights I might sweat a lot if I don't get the covers kicked off (or SWMBO hasn't kicked the covers off her and onto me). Don't know how much I lose there.
Two to three pounds seems an awful lot for one night.

I rarely pee overnight. But check yourself, weigh yourself just before bed and as soon as you wake up. Prepare to be amazed at how much moisture difference you can breathe out of yourself in 7 hours.

I typically lose about 5lb overnight.
