What does /fit/ think about this movie?
I'll start.
>what is portion control

I liked it a lot when I was 14. I always felt so bad for fat people and didn't understand why anyone would choose to be fat and not do anything about it.
He went to too much of an extreme to prove his point and that opens him up to doubt. If he had just eaten medium sized meals and tried some of the "healthier" items more over maybe 2-3 months he probably would have had the same bad results and maybe more people would have listened instead of saying "well he got supersize every other meal"
also the fucking soda was so much of the problem and McDonald's shouldn't be blamed for how bad 50oz of Coca-cola 3x a day is for you.

Watch Fathead
He challenges Supersize me and eats nothing but fast food for a month and loses weight and bf.
Supersize me is a complete lie.

Fathead is even stupider. The guy goes from one shitty diet to another shitty diet with more exercise, his horrible blood test becomes slightly less horrible due to having some physical activity and losing a few pounds, and then they tie in some big conspiracy theory about how the government's tricking us into eating oatmeal and how butter and fried chicken are actually health foods.

Did we see the same movie?
>>39620065
We watched the same film but may have seen it differently. The film I saw involved a stand-up comedian pitching low-carb diets and anti-government rhetoric, trying to discredit mainstream science on nutrition in a very unscientific way.

Excercise makes ypu stay fit whi would guess? I dont feel bad for fat asses ehen they dont even move.

you can't portion control any mcshits food and expect any positive outcome.

The best you can hope for is that you'll be in less shitty shape than you would be if you also ate enough of it to be obese

I somewhat agree with you.
He lost credibility to me when he said you only get fat from carbs, then when i researched him he was selling a shitload of "go paleo" merchandise.
The worst part though was him saying eating under 2000 calories was bullshit to weight loss, then he ate under 2000 calories for a month and said "lost weight because no bread lol"
It's an old documentary, still a must watch imo. People give him shit because he didn't set a calorie goal but remember that this was the early 2000s and he also was aiming to gain weight and give people an idea of what happens if you don't watch your fast food intake, maybe not exactly in 30 days, but in a few months assuming the average fatty gets fast food 4 or 5 days a week

the fries experiment on the DVD extra is frightening though

Yah it was unscientific/ hyperbolic blah blah blah...
But the core conceit of the movie was to teach fast food eating fucks that their lifestyle is killing them. You do this in clear easy to understand ways like in this movie.
>>39620404
Tbqh the not setting a calorie goal never bothered me. Your typical person on the street wouldn't know a calorie if it fucked them in the mouth, they just go into a fast food place and shovel in food until they feel satisfied. He basically did the same.
But as you say, most people who eat fast food don't do it for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

>the government's tricking us into eating oatmeal and how butter and fried chicken are actually health foods.
Ok, I never watched this movie but isn't think true? At school they taught me that fats are bad and carbs are good. It's the complete fucking opposite.

I'm not an American so I wasn't the target audience
But when I watched it , I thought, yeah no shit eating only McDonalds will make you unhealthy and get fat, everyone fucking knows that you don't need to make a movie about it
I still believe the movie was more about what americans, who have to work day in and day out at their slavewage jobs, are subjected to fast food due to its convenience - some people literally eat burgers every lunch. And dinner just as fucking bad. It wasnt a movie showing "hey you become a fastass eating fast food" moreso "im going to concentrate a lifestyle into one month and show you how bad it could get"
This movie makes me crave McDonald's so hard.
I don't even care about all the bad stuff they say.
