A growing number of "McDieters" insist they've shed pounds by eating nothing but McDonald's food for weeks at a time. The most recent was a North Carolina mother who said she lost 37 pounds by eating strictly McDonald's – mostly burgers and salads – for 90 days. Closer to home, a New Hampshire woman, Soso Whaley, has released a film about her own weight loss while "McDieting". "You can eat healthy if you make good choices. It's really amazing what they are offering now,'' said Whaley, 50, who lost 28 pounds while eating just McDonald's.
