Day four - Thursday 16 September: I may already have lost some weight!

Stood on the scales this morning and I seem to be two pounds lighter than when I started. But one swallow does not make a summer. And two pounds don't make a slimmer.

Another delayed train this morning, but I don't seem to be craving food madly as I did before. Maybe my stomach now realises that 9.30am is breakfast time. Had the Big Breakfast which is in fact just a Sausage and Egg McMuffin by any other name with a hash brown. Still, it was tasty enough. For lunch, I had a McChicken Sandwich and another Chicken Ranch Salad. Sounds a lot - and it is - but surprisingly few calories. I'm stuffed.

Just to illustrate the utter lack of originality of this site, here's another article about another McDieter:

"Soso Whaley lost ten pounds while eating three meals a day for 30 days at McDonalds! She says she feels great. Her secret: she limited herself to 1,800 calories a day. Sometimes she ate the Big Mac, but for lots of meals she ate the Chicken Caesar Salad."
