Fast Food Lovers Diet

If you've seen the movie Supersize Me, where Morgan Spurlock follows a 30 day diet of eating only McDonald's food, you watched as he gained 24 and 1/2 pounds, a dangerous cholesterol level of 230 and fat accumulation in his liver.  It was fascinating to watch, but only offered a one sided view.  Obviously, if you just eat junk food every day, no matter what fast food establishment you choose, your body will react. He also didn't exercise  the entire time which contributed to his weight gain.  That being said, no amount of exercise in the world can protect your body from a constant diet of saturated fats.  To remain functionally fit we need to practice good diet and  get out there and move.  So what do you do when you find yourself at McDonalds?  Here's a healthy choice menu to make it easier for you to decide.  I wonder what would have happened if Spurlock ate the healthy options and exercised 6 days a week.  Now that would be interesting to see.
