At first glance, I didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Considering people are paid up to 5,000 for in-patient experimental drugs. Then I read how Dr. Klein justified this clinical study, and I just don't get it. How did this pass the IRB (institutional review board). Here is the story:http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/fitness/article_d5c6665f-f7a6-5b91-900f-716650ec979f.htmlIt has been proven that with diet and exercise, you can drastically change your metabolic panel. But rather than take a preventative approach, this sounds like a more therapeutic intervention,

My ass is not fat. I do have a booty though. It is supple and firm. You know you want a squeeze, don't be hatin...
5/11/2012 1:14:48 PM
if you are already at 30% for your BMI, sorry, you do have a fat ass.
5/11/2012 1:16:12 PM
I hover around a 20 BMI[Edited on May 11, 2012 at 1:25 PM. Reason : 20-22 more exactly]
5/11/2012 1:21:06 PM
BMI is a fairly worthless rating anyway

You can eat decent meals at McDonalds. Get a couple of double meat burgers, ask for no cheese and no salt, throw out half of the buns. Of course, at that point it's gross, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.[Edited on May 11, 2012 at 1:28 PM. Reason : ]

Yea...I didn't read the story... I mean you'd figure they'd want a fit looking person to go in there who does eat fast food many times a week to see what they're doing to keep themselves healthy looking

Can I do this with just Bojangles?If so, then it's DEAL.

Don't really wanna read the full article but I wonder if you get to pick the fast food establishment? And if so you get to pick the menu item. Most fast food places offer salads on their menu that can't be TOO unhealthy.

Most salads at fast food places are worse for you than the sandwiches, often markedly so. They take out the bun and the mayonnaise, but in its place put copious gobs of cheese, egg, bacon, tortilla strips, and at least half a gallon of ranch dressing. Think of the prep work that goes into those salads…significantly more handiwork is required, meaning a significantly greater chance that unwashed testicle scratching fingers are going to be putting your shit together. Avoid salads at fast food establishments. You’re not saving any calories and you’re more likely to get salmonella.

There are still somewhat healthy options though and you can order things to be a little healthier. Like a grilled chicken sandwich at chick-fil-a without butter all over the bun. Or the chili at Wendy's.

No you don't get to choose your restaurant.
5/11/2012 4:29:21 PM
I'd like to do this if I could get a month off to fast afterwards to get back to my playing weight. I'm such a fat kid at heart. At lunch today I got Wendys drive thru, ate it in the parking lot, then went back around for a second lap.
5/11/2012 4:30:55 PM
I would puke eating an extra 1000 calories from those restaurants a day.
