My evil, big corporation diet has come to an end and capitalism has made me skinny. Well, not quite skinny but it was a fairly successful diet while I was on it. It might not be for everyone, but it worked for me. It was cheap. It was easy. It was tasty enough. And as American as apple pie.

Hmmm, this is probably a good time to say that I’m not a doctor and that you should read this site for entertainment value only. But honestly, if you go on the Coca-Cola and McDonald’s Diet — or any fad diet, really — for a week and you die then you weren’t long for this world anyway.

So, over the course of 7 days I lost 10 pounds on the Coke and Mickey D’s diet. Then after two days of eating normally I regained three pounds for an overall loss of 7 pounds or one pound per day. That qualifies as a success in my book.
