Filet-O-Fishy, man claims he lost 15 pounds on McDonalds diet
Call me crazy, but something about this sounds a little Filet-O-Fishy.
A 40-year-old San Diego man claims he dropped 15 pounds in 30 days on a diet of McDonalds’ grub.
Doug Logeais’ experience is nothing like what happened to filmmaker Morgan Spurlock.
Spurlock got all fat and sick when he ate nothing but McDonalds for 30 days.
He made the 2004 documentary “Super Size Me.”
Logeais is also making documentary and could use some of you money.
As far-fetched as the thing sounds, maybe, perhaps it is possible.
Unlike Spurlock, Logeais selected Mickey D’s “healthier options,” according to a London Daily Mail article.
“I would once in a while go for a chocolate chip cookie or the chicken McNuggets. Those are great,” he said.
The story seems covered in tarter sauce to me, but what do you think? Comment below.

Is Indiana’s gambling joke on Ohio?
From Kyle Nagel, Staff Writer
It was a confident ride up the escalator away from the Argosy Casino gaming area with a few extra dollars in the front pocket when an overheard conversation showed the other side of the coin.
Man: Awwww, my wife’s gonna kill me.
Woman: What happened?
Man: Jeez, a lost way more than I should have. Oh mannn.
Woman: How much?
Man: (Through pained grunts) Well, I knew I could only lose $400, but I went back to the ATM a few times and I lost about $3,000. I kept thinking I would win it back. Ouch.
On a side note, about 40 percent of the cars in the parking garage had Ohio license plates.
Indiana still laughs.
What do you think? Is Kyle Nagel right? Comment below.
