[ExI] junk food diet

[efc at swisscows.email]

Fascinating!

I only had beef fat fries in upscale restaurants, and it's good! As for 
McD, I also enjoy the occasional burger, but my recipe is only burger, no 
cola and no fries.

But when it comes to the effect on my weight, I have no idea. I've always 
had a very high metabolism, and during vacation times I drop to only 2 
meals per day, and more sleep than usual so I tend to lose weight during 
my vacations.

Best regards,
Daniel
