A Healthier Us : Best Way To Lose Weight Fast - Weight Loss

Did you hear about the man that used McDonald’s for a diet? Chris Coleson went from a 50 inch waist to a 36. He lost 86 amazing pounds! It took him 6 months to lose 80 pounds. He had battled his weight for years, but when he had trouble getting into a restaurant booth he decided it was time to do something serious about his weight.

Instead of trying one of the million diets out there which had failed him he opted for his own solution: he’d only eat at McDonald’s. When I think of losing a few pounds McDonald’s is the last place that comes to mind.

Coleson said his eating was out of control. He was taking in about 5,000 calories a day. He was starting to worry that when he went to bed he might not get up. His family also had a history of heart disease which was weighing heavy on him. When he decided to get in shape he relied on a simple idea: “calories in and calories out”.

Coleson lost his weight by regulating his caloric intake to only 1,400 calories a day. For a man his size 1,400 calories is considered starving. Coleson said he was able to lose weight by avoiding the French fries. He said he never had them once. What he did eat were the salads, wraps and on occasion he would integrate a hamburger patty on one. Coleson also would skip breakfast on his meal plan and kept daily journal.

Coleson also began exercising a few times a week, which he was not doing prior to the McDiet. In fact, he said he used to get winded after climbing four steps.

So what can we take from this? It all comes back to the basics - calories in and calories out. It’s my personal opinion that he reduced his caloric intake a little too much. He was basically starving which I never recommend. It can set you up for a huge failure. He also was not eating breakfast. Studies show that people who eat breakfast tend to be thinner than those who choose to skip it. He did implement some kind of Exercise into his plan which is very important when it comes to Losing Weight. Another key thing he did right was he kept a daily journal. It’s been proven that dieters that keep journals and hold themselves accountable lose more weight. That’s why Weight Watchers has such a high success rate. Lastly he did prove that it is possible to lose weight by going to a fast food place everyday even McDonald’s. He made the healthy choices. Personally I don’t think I could eat at the same place everyday for 6 months. Bottom line is he did it - he lost the weight! Congrats to Chris Coleson!
