<p>So Cisna began eating at the fast food chain for every meal and working on an amateur documentary with a team of students. But rather than ordering huge meals, he tried to adhere to a 2,000-calorie diet. </p>
<p>When Cisna told the local McDonald's franchise about his plan, the restaurant said they'd give him meals free of charge. </p>
<p>By the 90th day, Cisna reports he had lost 37 pounds and his cholesterol dropped from 249 to 170, according to the <a href="http://www.kcci.com/news/central-iowa/science-teacher-creates-documentary-based-on-mcdonalds-diet/-/9357080/23750942/-/w7swjt/-/index.html">news station</a>. </p>

A Teacher Ate Nothing But McDonald's For 90 Days And Was Shocked By The Results

<p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Microsoft has <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/06/windows_10_update/">confirmed to The Register</a> that it's going to stop the Windows 10 upgrade popups that have been infuriating some users.<p>The Register reports that after the free Windows 10 upgrade ends on July 29, Microsoft will stop prompting users to upgrade.</p><p>Customers will stay be able to upgrade to Windows 10, however, they just won't be able to do so through repeated popups.</p><p>Here's the full statement that Microsoft gave to The Register:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Details are still being finalized, but on July 29th the Get Windows 10 app that facilitates the easy upgrade to Windows 10 will be disabled and eventually removed from PCs worldwide. Just as it took time to ramp up and roll out the Get Windows 10 app, it will take time to ramp it down.</p><p>The regular prompts to upgrade to Windows 10 have caused some pretty big problems. A live weather report on Iowa television station&#xa0;KCCI 8 <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/windows-10-upgrade-during-live-newscast-2016-4">was interrupted by a Windows 10 upgrade prompt</a>, causing the weather to vanish from the screen.

Yes - as evidenced by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-lose-weight-eating-mcdonalds-2014-1?utm_source=androidapp&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank">the now-famous science teacher who reportedly did just that</a>.</p>
<p>But should you? Absolutely not.</p>
<p>KCCI, a local news station, <a href="http://www.kcci.com/news/central-iowa/science-teacher-creates-documentary-based-on-mcdonalds-diet/-/9357080/23750942/-/w7swjt/-/index.html" target="_blank">reported</a> that Iowan <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/colo-nesco.k12.ia.us/johncisna/" target="_blank">John Cisna</a> lost 37 pounds after eating three meals a day at McDonald's for 90 days straight. In the 2004 documentary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me" target="_blank">Super Size Me</a>, a similar stunt left Morgan Spurlock sick and overweight, so fast-food enthusiasts were quick to point to Cisna as a counterexample. </p>
<p>Cisna himself <a href="http://www.kcci.com/news/central-iowa/science-teacher-creates-documentary-based-on-mcdonalds-diet/-/9357080/23750942/-/w7swjt/-/index.html" target="_blank">told KCCI</a> that he wanted people to know "it's <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">our choices that make us fat, not McDonald's." He described a typical meal plan as "</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">two egg white delights, a bowl of their maple oatmeal and a 1 percent milk" for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a value meal for dinner. </span></p>
<p><strong style="line-height: 1.5em;">But - while we don't recommend it - you could also lose weight eating nothing but jellybeans.</strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> The real story is about portion size and exercise: Cisna went from not exercising or watching his food intake to walking for 45 minutes each day and carefully restricting himself to 2,000 calories and recommended dietary allowances for carbohydrates, cholesterol, etc. (Compare that to Spurlock's 5,000 daily calories and many sodas during Super Size Me.)</span></p>
<p><strong>Consuming nothing but McDonald's may have seemed like a way to add a fun twist to boring old diet advice (eat less + exercise more = lose weight), but it's also a terrible idea. </strong></p>
<p>A Big Mac has <a href="http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/nutritionfacts.pdf" target="_blank">half of your daily allowance for saturated fat</a>. A fruit-and-maple oatmeal has as much sugar as a bag of M&amp;Ms. Even a McWrap, McDonald's<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span><a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-07-03/why-the-mcwrap-is-so-important-to-mcdonalds" target="_blank">crucial play</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> to capture the attention of health-conscious millennials, has 1280 milligrams of sodium - more than half of what an adult should take in during an entire day.</span></p>
<p>While Cisna demonstrated that staying within healthy calorie, fat, and sugar limits is possible at McDonald's (if not easy or encouraged), it's no way to get healthy. <strong>Health is about more than weight. </strong></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">McDonald's offers a menu of food that is - for the most part - highly processed (</span><a href="http://blog.fooducate.com/2013/03/27/mcdonalds-mcwraps-a-nutritious-choice/" target="_blank">the McWrap contains 121 ingredients</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">). Everyone has different dietary needs, but most people interested in improving their health would do well to follow </span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28nutritionism.t.html?pagewanted=all" target="_blank">Michael Pollan's famous advice</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." By "food," Pollan explains, he means "whole fresh foods [rather] than processed food products."</span></p>
<p>At the most basic level, you should be eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, which, <a href="http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/vegetables-full-story/" target="_blank">as summarized by the Harvard School of Public Health</a>, "can help you ward off heart disease and stroke, control blood pressure, prevent some types of cancer... and guard against cataract and macular degeneration, two common causes of vision loss." </p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Fruits and vegetables are also <a href="http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/vegetables-why.html" target="_blank">a primary source of many key nutrients</a> including potassium, dietary fiber, folate, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Your body needs these to function properly, and <a href="http://www.healthline.com/health/malnutrition#Causeshttp://www.healthline.com/health/malnutrition#Types" target="_blank">deficiencies can impair</a> your vision, your bone health, and your immunity. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Are there nutrients in McDonald's apple slices and side salads? Of course. But navigating a fast food menu so that you get the nutrients you need without completely overloading on calories, sugar, carbohydrates, and saturated fat would be a difficult and perhaps futile endeavor. If your end goal is to improve your health, it would also be ill-advised.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">As <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-tells-employees-to-avoid-fast-food-2013-12" target="_blank">McDonald's McResources site advised its own employees</a>: "Although not impossible, it is more of a challenge to eat healthy when going to a fast food place."</span></p>

A teacher who lost 56 pounds eating only McDonald's is starring in a documentary to show students about 'healthy' eating

<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">A teacher who ate nothing but McDonald's for months lost more than 60 pounds. </span></p>
<p>John Cisna, a science teacher from Iowa, saw the 2004 documentary "Super Size Me" and was curious to see if his health would deteriorate the way filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's did, he told <a href="http://www.kcci.com/news/central-iowa/science-teacher-creates-documentary-based-on-mcdonalds-diet/-/9357080/23750942/-/w7swjt/-/index.html">local news station KCCI 8</a> back in January. </p>
<p>Cisna has managed to keep off the weight months later.

<p>"Eating McDonald's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner probably saved my life," Cisna says <a href="http://mymcdonaldsdietbook.com/">in his book</a>, which offers daily meal plans for eating at the fast food chain.</p>
<p>Here's a photo showing his progress.</p>
<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><p class="source"><span>Facebook/Courtesy John Cisna</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p>

<p><span>But health experts argue that eating a McDonald's diet <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-diet-unhealthy-even-if-you-lose-weight-2014-1">is a bad idea</a>. </span></p>
<p><span><span>Even if you lose weight, most fast food items lack nutrients necessary for a healthy diet. </span></span></p>

A Science Teacher Lost 60 Pounds Eating Nothing But McDonald's

<p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p>Microsoft <em>really</em> wants you to upgrade to Windows 10.</p><p>The American tech giant has been aggressive pushing updates to its desktop operating system onto its users - and drawn significant criticism for the techniques employed.</p><p>The latest: Automatically upgrading&#xa0;users if they click X to close a pop-up about the&#xa0;update.</p><p><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/3073457/windows/how-microsofts-nasty-new-windows-10-pop-up-tricks-you-into-upgrading.html">The new tactic was spotted by Brad Chacos over at PC World</a>. For months, GWX (Get Windows X), the app responsible for all the Windows 10 update prompts, has been pushing updates onto users, to which the only way to opt-out was to press the X in the top-right corner to close the app (just like you do any other app).</p><p>But <em>now</em> GWX has changed its behaviour, and will take you pressing the X as a signal that you're happy to carry out the update at a time it provides. Instead, you have to manually change or remove the update time if you want to opt-out.</p><p>So if you're used to clicking X to get rid of the pop-up because you really don't want to (or can't, for software compatibility reasons) upgrade, then you might find yourself upgrading all of a sudden anyway.</p><p>There are reports on social media that users are being tricked into upgrading this way - much to their annoyance.</p><p><div></div></p><p class="embed-spacer"><div></div></p><p class="embed-spacer">Here's how one of the previous pop-ups - that forced you to press X to block the installation - looked.</p><p class="embed-spacer"><div></div></p><p>The Windows 10 pop-ups have proved highly disruptive. In April, one interrupted a weather report on Iowa television station KCCI 8.</p><p><div></div></p><p class="embed-spacer">And the updates themselves have also started at awkward times - including one <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/04/windows-10-updates-ruining-pro-gaming-streams">that interrupted a game that pro gamer Erik Flom was streaming</a> to his followers on Twitch.</p><p class="embed-spacer"></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p class="embed-spacer">But despite the uproar, don't expect Microsoft to suddenly stop its upgrade strategy. The company is aiming to get Windows 10 <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/microsoft-windows-10-free-upgrade-2016-1">onto one billion devices</a>, and it clearly sees aggressive upgrades as one way to help achieve this - especially given <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/microsoft-cutting-1000-jobs-in-finland-as-it-ends-phone-production-report-2016-5">the serious downturn in its mobile business</a>.</p><p class="embed-spacer">A Microsoft spokesperson provided a statement indicating they think everything is working as intended:</p><p class="p1" style="padding-left: 30px;">As we shared in October, Microsoft has been helping customers who received the Windows 10 upgrade as an 'Optional' (and now 'Recommended') update, to schedule their upgrade. Once a customer's upgrade is scheduled, they will receive a notification that states the time their upgrade is scheduled for, with options to reschedule or cancel if they wish. Based on customer feedback, we've also added another notification that confirms the time of the scheduled upgrade and provides the customer an additional opportunity for cancelling or rescheduling the upgrade. If the customer wishes to continue with their upgrade at the designated time, they can click 'OK' or close the notifications with no further action needed.</p><p class="embed-spacer">If you're determined not to update - and you can avoid Microsoft's increasingly sneaky attempts to make you - then there's still hope: After July 29, <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/microsoft-is-going-to-stop-prompting-people-to-upgrade-to-windows-10-2016-5">Microsoft says it will stop prompting users to upgrade</a>.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/flatev-machine-makestortillas-2016-5">There's a Keurig-inspired machine that makes individual tortillas</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="BjN25iMzE68FpOZaFVlMzElTr_kW1TXD" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

It provides abortions, and we are going to channel you in this direction," Rubio said.</p><p>"And I just think you've created an industry now, where you create the situation where very much you've created an incentive for people not just to look forward to having more abortions but being able to sell that fetal tissue for purposes - these centers - for purposes of making a profit off of it, as you've seen in some of these Planned Parenthood affiliates."</p><p>Funding for Planned Parenthood has suddenly taken center stage in the 2016 race - and in Washington. An influential group of conservative lawmakers are insisting that any bill to keep the federal government funded also includes stripping of funding for Planned Parenthood. The dispute <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/planned-parenthood-videos-shutdown-carly-fiorina-2015-9" target="_blank">threatens the second federal government shutdown in the past two years</a>.</p><p>Democrats took issue with Rubio's language in the interview.</p><p>"Marco Rubio has absolutely no business lecturing on the way women think, nor should he dictate the ways we make decisions about our health," <span>Kaylie Hanson, the director of women's media at the Democratic National Committee, told Business Insider in an email.</span></p><p>"His career have been built on forcing his out of touch agenda on women - and whether it's saying people 'look forward' to having abortions, or opposing abortion exceptions for survivors of rape or incest, it's clear he simply doesn't care about or understand women and their needs. If Marco Rubio wants to represent us, he needs to quit dismissing us and the choices we make."</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Justin Sullivan/Getty Images</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a presidential candidate who helped orchestrate the 2013 government shutdown, has pledged to vote against any bill that doesn't defund the agency.</p><p>Rubio has joined the push to defund the organization. But he didn't wade into a spirited discussion last week during the Republican presidential debate over whether Congress should, as Cruz put it, "stop surrendering" and withhold funding for Planned Parenthood even if it leads to a shutdown.</p><p>Critics of the women's-health agency say that a series of controversial, undercover videos show that Planned Parenthood harvests the tissue of aborted fetuses in order to turn a profit, a claim the organization denies. It says it only seeks reimbursement for preserving and transporting tissue for medical research, which is legal.</p><p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/08/12/for-planned-parenthood-abortion-stats-3-percent-and-94-percent-are-both-misleading/">There's some debate</a> over how much of Planned Parenthood's business involves providing abortions, though the procedure does not account for the majority of its services. Those services include everything from cancer screenings to tests for sexually transmitted diseases. </p><p>The federal government does give money to Planned Parenthood, but none goes toward abortion services. However, Republicans argue that any funding for the organization helps it provide abortions.</p><p>Rubio's campaign did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/most-extravagant-vacations-in-world-2015-9">The most expensive and extravagant vacations in the world</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="tvMzRndzpNrgBqxHb0FavvEnwVT1v50q" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

Chipotle is now offering free alcohol to drive up traffic

<p>But after <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-the-us-drought-worsened-in-one-week-2012-8">an ugly drought tore across the Midwest</a> last summer, partiers could be shelling out a few extra dollars to keep their Super Bowl spread stacked this weekend. </p>
<p>Here's what you'll likely pay more for:</p>
<p><strong>Wings</strong>. Chicken wing price hikes are nothing new around Super Bowl season, but this year, record high chicken feed prices have caused the party table staple to be even pricier than usual. They were going for around <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/28/news/companies/super-bowl-chicken-wings-mcdonalds/index.html?iid=SF_PF_LN" target="_blank">$1.90 per pound in December</a> — 26% higher than a year before. Despite the spike, the National Chicken Council projects Americans will still chow down 1.23 million pounds of wings this Super Bowl season — enough to stretch from Baltimore to San Francisco 27 times.</p>
<p><strong>Burgers. </strong>If you were hoping to fill the chicken hole with <keyword id="60137" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Beef">beef</keyword>, better luck next year. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/morgan-stanley-livestock-herds-2012-7">Beef prices also are on the rise</a>, which could make the burgers and burritos you planned on stocking up on for halftime cost a few extra pennies. After livestock herds <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/morgan-stanley-livestock-herds-2012-7">declined by record levels in 2012</a>, beef prices rose about 6 percent and the USDA projects they could go up another 4 percent this year, <a href="http://www.kcci.com/news/project-economy/Beef-prices-going-up-again/-/9356884/18177748/-/format/rsss_2.0/-/o9orha/-/index.html">according to KCCI</a></p>
<p><span><span><span><strong><keyword id="65553" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Bacon">Bacon</keyword></strong>. In case you were planning on taking a stab at your own <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-make-a-bacon-bowl-2013-1" target="_blank">Bacon Bowl</a>, you might want to set aside a few extra bucks. The threat of a worldwide bacon "Aporkalypse" </span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/relax-the-bacon-shortage-is-way-overblown-2012-9">might have been</a><span> exaggerated last fall, but that doesn't mean the price surge on the meat lovers' favorite has died down yet. Experts predict the </span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bacon-prices-2012-9">price tag on bacon</a> will soar <span>this year. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><strong>All things <keyword id="47377" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Corn">corn</keyword>.</strong> If you check the ingredients on just about any carb in your pantry, chances are corn will show up –– and that you paid more for it this year than last. Thanks to the devastation caused to corn crops this year,    harvests were <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20130111/us-commodities-review/?utm_hp_ref=business&amp;ir=business" target="_blank">down nearly 30 percent</a>, sending prices soaring. From corn chips to corn on the cob, these snacking basics might not be quite as cheap compared to last year.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><strong>Booze.</strong> Alcohol sales managed to survive the recession and chances are the price hikes forecasted on <keyword id="6359860" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="beer">beer</keyword> this year won't deter thirsty fans either. But it's worth noting that Anheuser-Busch beers cost about 5 percent in the fall — making prices about <a href="http://money.msn.com/top-stocks/post.aspx?post=ac882b03-b2bc-4d15-9316-c256256723de" target="_blank">55 to 75 cents more</a> for a case of Bud Lights. Regardless of the slight cost increase per can, <a href="http://www.saveonbrew.com/blog-article/2013-superbowl-beer-consumption">Save on Brew estimates</a> Americans will throw down 50 million cases of beer during the big game, adding up to a nationwide tab of $10.8 billion. </span></span></span></p>
