A man ate nothing but McDonald's for 30 days and managed to lose weight to prove a point about calorie intake and weight loss - but experts do not recommend trying a similar "diet."

一個人挑戰30天隻吃麥當勞來驗證卡路裡攝入和減肥效果的關系 - 但專家并不建議嘗試類似的飲食。

Ryan Williams, 29, a postman from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, decided to undertake the fast food diet to disprove the 2004 documentary Super Size Me - which sees Morgan Spurlock eat nothing but McDonald's for 30 days and gain 24lbs.

來自格洛斯特郡切爾滕納姆的郵遞員，29歲的萊恩·威廉姆斯決定采用快餐飲食來反駁2004年紀錄片《超碼的我》。 影片中呈現了摩根·史柏路克隻吃麥當勞30天之後長胖24磅的事例。

According to Williams, Spurlock's documentary presented a skewed version of the challenge - so the postman-turned-bodybuilder decided to film himself following the same diet to prove that it is possible to get in shape while eating McDonald's only.

根據威廉姆斯的說法，斯普洛克的紀錄片展現的是極端的事例 - 所以由郵差轉身健美運動員的他決定拍攝使用同樣飲食的曆程，來證明每天隻吃麥當勞也可以保持身材。

However, Williams also spent an hour at the gym each morning - which Spurlock did not when he set out on the challenge.

然而，威廉姆斯每天早上都會去健身房鍛煉一個小時。然而紀錄片中，斯普洛克在挑戰中卻沒有這麼做

The postman documented his journey on his YouTube channel "Ry," where his 1,200 followers watch him eat quirky things, and found that after the month was over, he was 16lbs lighter.

這位郵遞員在他的油管頻道“Ry”上記錄了他的曆程，他的1200名粉絲看着他吃古怪的東西，但在這個月結束後，他居然還減了16磅。

Of the food challenge, Williams said: “I’ve wanted to do this for a few years, but I never found the right time.

對于這次的挑戰，威廉姆斯說：“我想這樣做已經有好幾年了，但我一直沒有找到合适的機會。

“But recently I saw an advert for 50 years of Big Mac and it made me think that there's quite a lot of negative feeling towards McDonald's, with regards to it being unhealthy.”

“但最近我看到了巨無霸50年曆程的廣告，這讓我想到了，很多人會覺得麥當勞并不好，因為大家覺得它不健康。”

For his own challenge, Williams stressed the importance of balancing caloric intake with staying in shape.

對于他這次的挑戰，威廉姆斯強調了平衡卡路裡攝取和保持身材的重要性。

Williams began the month eating 2,500 calories per day - the recommended calorie intake for a male adult - but dropped down to 2,300 by the end of the second week. In the final two weeks of the challenge, he dropped his calories slightly further, depending on how his weight and body fat index were performing.

威廉姆斯由每天攝入2,500卡路裡（一名男性成年人的推薦卡路裡攝入量）開始他的挑戰 - - 但在第二周結束時降至2,300卡路裡。 在挑戰的最後兩周，他的卡路裡又略有下降，這都取決于他的體重和體脂指數。

And according to Williams, despite being told he looked tired, his energy levels “sustained throughout the month.”

根據威廉姆斯的說法，盡管有人說他看起來很疲憊，但他整個月都保持着正常的精力。
