I agree with psychoexbf.
Well I can certainly prove his point.
I’m Asian and was an underweight baby and child and have been thin all my life. But now I’m 27 and since the last 2-3 years finally passed the 50kg mark and have been gaining weight (albeit not much but at a faster rate than in high school and uni).
so yeah , it might not happen to you but maybe when you’re 30 you’ll feel the bad effects more…
I reckon things really change once you have a baby too.. as in, your body is never the same 😉 But when I get older or have a baby, I’ll figure out how to get healthy!

U know, I freaked out when i read that article in the straits times some time ago – i dont gorge on it of cos, but the article does make you wonder if you’d have liver failure (to a lesser extent maybe?) by having too much fast food.
I used to take fast food pretty often when i was in secondary school (where else can we hangout with cheap food, aircon, and music?) it may have been my hormones but i was pimply and FAT.
I gave up fast food when I went to JC, and found that food court food is just as affordable (though some food courts serve horrible stuff at exorbitant prices). My pimples cleared (ok, so it was hormones) and I lost weight.
That said and done, I still do take fast food, but only once in a while. Restaurant set meals are almost always the order of the day 🙂
Yeah… I reckon when you get older your body doesn’t process food as well, so junk food’ll really hit ya.
i LOOOOOVE food court and hawker food! But apparently it’s loaded with oil and bad stuff so it’s just as good :X depressing..
you’re asian as well, asian people process food differently to westerners (which is what the article is mostly talking about). AND you’re young – so you have two things working in your favour! (Older asian women are usually meatier than the young ones)
I mean, I can eat anything I want and I won’t put on any weight(or break out), but a lot of my western friends can’t eat any fatty food or they’ll put on the kilos straight away (and break out).
Subsisting soley on mcdonalds is DEFINITELY unhealthy – and your body won’t thank you at all (especially later on… when you begin to see side-effects) 🙂
Do Asians really process food differently? NEver knew that… but I guess I won’t complain! Could be just the food though, ‘cos Asians don’t have much butter/cream/sugar in their diet.
PS. LOVE your icon
yes! we have faster metabolisms, so food zips through just like that! 🙂 But less blood sugar levels (or something) so we don’t handle alcohol as well!

why do you think women get ridiculously overweight after marriage? it’s because around the ages of 24-30, a woman’s metabolism starts slowing down. skin begins to sag and even if you ate the same amount of food as you did in college, your body wont process it; thus gaining weight. the only remedy is to maintain a strong metabolism now so that when you grow older, the effects wont be as bad.
(men’s metabolism starts slowing down at the age of 35-40… be jealous *heh*)
you’re young… you can eat virtually anything and it wont matter. i’m willing to bet that in another few years, you’re gonna be a crazy health nut just like everybody else. 😀
in Australia, the beef is advertised as “100% Australian beef” – which makes you think it’s 100% beef, right? Well, apparently the COMPANY name is “100% Australian”, so it totally misleads the public. That’s the rumour anyway, I don’t know if it’s true but apparently it is. Also, try letting one of their sundaes sit and melt for a day – it separates into powder and pure fat and water 😉
Anyway, I know full well Maccas isn’t healthy – but I still like it and it tastes good, so what the heck 😉
Eating this kind of diet WILL DEFINITELY affect you in some way; there is no way it cannot. In the case of that guy, it made him seriously ill. In your case, because you are much younger, and basically a healthy person, and you were eating it once a day rather than 3 times, you weren’t as ill as him, but still, as someone pointed out above, you were found to have high cholesterol (and you’ll have to forgive me for saying it, I’m not trying to be rude, but I’m a medical student and I’ve just completed a research project on 300 teenagers from 14-20 years, and haven’t found a single person with high cholesterol).
So yeah. I don’t think there’s any way you can claim eating that kind of diet won’t have consequences of some sort. In that article, McDonalds themselves say you should eat their food in moderation – a pretty amazing comment from a company trying to make money from selling food.

It might affect me, but nothing that I can see – it hasn’t given me bad skin, made me sick, etc, etc, etc.. and it tastes damn good, so I still eat it 😉
I actually had a full health checkup a few months ago and had perfect cholesterol and a perfectly clean bill of health! and that suprised everyone, most of all, me. I think it’s just different people , different body types, and different ways of coping with one’es diet. Eating veggies actually makes me feel nauseous and I get a stomach ache afterwards :X
No, I just think you were lucky. Everything in your life is absolutely perfect. You are a rarity.
Perfect? Eh… no. Not really. I’m just the eternal optimist 😉
I thought I was the only one who did this — you know, having McDonald’s for practically every day (it was my afternoon “snack”, but I always ended up ordering a complete meal that it became my dinner). LOL! Well, it was that regular for me in high school, but now I try not to eat it every day. It’s more like a little treat every once in a while now. 🙂
Haha.. go Maccas queens! I didn’t eat it that much in high school but I went nuts in College, ‘cos they NEVER gave us enough food – or at least they always gave the girls less than the guys. I’m actually quite sick of it now though, so I only have it about once a week.. not too bad eh?!
Fast Food
(Jac) I ate fast food ALL the time back in Junior College days, it was like the norm, and besides, it’s pretty cheap. But when I started to eat healthier after the SARS scare, it took quite a while to adjust, however, I did it. Now, when I eat fast food again, I don’t find it as tasty, so I guess it’s subjective. But anything in excess would be bad, so I agree, we should just chill! =)
Re: Fast Food
yeah – when you’re a poor student, fast food is the best (fastest, cheapest) option!

Re: Fast Food

didnt you had high cholesterol in college?
Yeah, but apparently that was hereditary (both my parents are health nuts but have super high cholesterol). I had a full health test few months ago and it showed that I had normal cholesterol and really good health – for some weird reason!
I think it really depends on what sort of diet he was used to prior to the Mcdonalds diet. I remembered back in JC days, I kept off all fast food, deep fried stuff and soft drinks due to training. Even during off season when I could eat anything I want, I still kept off so called unhealthy food. Not coz I didn’t like them, but my body was so used to a healthy diet that whenever I had fast food I actually felt sick coz of all the oil in it.
Ya – i reckon if you’re used to healthy food and then go on the maccas diet, you body’ll probably freak out. But the way they make it sound, it’s more like “junk food is really bad for you, it makes your body break down!”… and I don’t think it’s THAT bad or I’d be dead by now 😛
lol! well excess of anything is bad for you. but i think fast food is fine, in moderation. i find i eat more fast food over here though. back in singapore there’re so many good and cheap food that i hardly even eat fast food. 🙂
Oh maaaaan, I miss SG food :(~ but it’s just as unhealthy I reckon, with all the oil and that! I guess that’s why it tastes so good 😉

didnt you had high cholesterol in college?
Yeah, but apparently that was hereditary (both my parents are health nuts but have super high cholesterol). I had a full health test few months ago and it showed that I had normal cholesterol and really good health – for some weird reason!
I think it really depends on what sort of diet he was used to prior to the Mcdonalds diet. I remembered back in JC days, I kept off all fast food, deep fried stuff and soft drinks due to training. Even during off season when I could eat anything I want, I still kept off so called unhealthy food. Not coz I didn’t like them, but my body was so used to a healthy diet that whenever I had fast food I actually felt sick coz of all the oil in it.
Ya – i reckon if you’re used to healthy food and then go on the maccas diet, you body’ll probably freak out. But the way they make it sound, it’s more like “junk food is really bad for you, it makes your body break down!”… and I don’t think it’s THAT bad or I’d be dead by now 😛
lol! well excess of anything is bad for you. but i think fast food is fine, in moderation. i find i eat more fast food over here though. back in singapore there’re so many good and cheap food that i hardly even eat fast food. 🙂
