Anti-Super Size Me Film Coming Soon...

There's an anti-Super Size Me documentary coming out soon that offers an alternative to the eating approach used in Super Size Me. Tom Naughton, the filmmaker, wants to show that you can eat fast food without getting fat and suffering health consequences. Here's what Dr. Michael Eades, author of Protein Power,has to say:

"Tom watched Supersize Me a while back and was struck by the sort of dishonesty of the whole thing ... Tom decided to make his own version of such a movie with a little different twist: he decided to eat fast food for a month to see if he could lose weight. He ate hamburgers without the buns, didn’t drink the high-fructose-corn-syrup laden soft drinks, but had water or ice tea instead, and, in general, followed a fast-food low-carb diet. He ended having the exact opposite experience as did Morgan Spurlock (the star of Supersize Me): he lost weight and improved his lipid profile."

Tom is a stand up comedian as well as an author. So this film should be entertaining as well as informative. I highly recommend Michael Eades' blog for more information...

Here is a short segment from the film:
