This guy is apparently one of the best climbers in the country, based around Fort William I think, planning on eating McDonald’s burger patties exclusively for a month. I’ve been hearing of a few recently that have gone on strict meat only diets and seemed to have done quite well, interesting stuff.

Why is he bothering? Already been done by Morgan Spurlock … who became exceeding ill on it

 
I couldn't live on fast food like this. It never ever satisfied my hunger for more than an hour at most. It's just too highly processed to give any gut fill I think. If you eat serious quantities of beef you better prepare for some serious indigestion as well as it is notoriously difficult to digest.

For me to live on McD's I would have to eat probably 6 of them a day to stave off hunger and I'd consequently be consuming about 6000 calories if a Big Mac, fries and medium drink is about 1000 calories.

This is why kids eating a lot of fast food get fat- it makes it possible to consume a shed load of calories in no time at all. You try eating 6000 calories worth of Sunday roast.

Incorrect. This guy is only eating the burger patties, no bun, no chips, no sauce, nothing else. 100% beef they’re supposed to be.

I'm not sure everyone read the OP carefully.
He's going to eat only the burger bit.

Thats very different to the supersize me bloke I believe.

Funnily enough, I've just been reading about some people who lived on a more or less 100% meat and dairy diet.
they managed to make their experiment last several centuries!
Who’s that?

Historically humans would have relied almost entirely on animal products but they would not have been plentiful by any means and winter would have been the worst time to obtain food.

Meat would have been hard enough to come by.
Eggs nearly non-existent.
Milk probably more so.
Sugar? No chance in hell unless you happened across a fruit or a beehive both of which have obvious shortcomings.

Human bodies are designed for scarcity. The more I learn the more adaptations I spot- the body hordes away fat in certain stores that aren't apparent to the eye and in reality it wasn't ever designed to operate in an environment full of sugars. Dietary sugars are basically poisonous to our bodies.

He was eating whole meals including vast amounts of fizzy juice though.
