Burger King's Big Secret

Uncovering the Shocking Truth About Fast Food

Eating Just Once a Day Could Have Serious Consequences

In Morgan Spurlock's 2004 documentary Super Size Me, he famously consumed an average of 5,000 calories per day from McDonald's meals. While many people have questioned the accuracy of Spurlock's findings, there is no doubt that eating fast food regularly can have serious health consequences.

One of the biggest risks associated with fast food is its high calorie content. A single Big Mac, for example, contains over 500 calories. If you eat a Big Mac every day, you will quickly consume more calories than you need, which can lead to weight gain and obesity.

In 2006, Associate Professor Fredrik Nyström of Linköping University attempted to copy Spurlock's Super Size Me experiment. Nyström, however, ate only one McDonald's meal per day. Even so, he gained 11 pounds and his cholesterol levels increased significantly.

Nyström's results suggest that even eating fast food once a day can have serious health consequences. If you are trying to lose weight or improve your health, it is best to avoid eating fast food altogether.
