I avoid McDonalds (or ANY typical fast-food joint) for reasons outside of acne, anyway. I will only eat there if we make a stop on a long car trip, and even then I stick to the realm of halfway-decently healthy foods, meaning I only have it about a few times a year. Not enough to do any substantial damage, me thinks.

WTF?!? Acniboi - thank you for that link!!! FREAKING DISGUSTING. I seriously want to ban eating McShit for the rest of my life.. I hardly EVER eat there because it's just, disgusting.

I do still like their milkshakes, ONCE in a while...But that site makes me HATE mcd's.

suzy_rondelle - Awesome posts in this thread, I cannot agree more with the "if its not good for your body, its obviously not good for your skin".... Simple as that!

thanks! apparently that concept is too hard for some people to grasp, but hey, i'm not the one eating that shit

Watch Supersize Me and you'll never wanna eat McDonald's again.

There is so much fat(unhealthy kind), sodium, sugar, and calories to fat ratio in ANYTHING they serve(except salads) that it will pretty much screw up your body. Every system of it.

I remember seeing a video on YouTube where they aged McDonald's hambuger and fries for a year (or something, maybe it was more?), versus the fresh foods that they are made of. While the fresh food was black, moldy and hard at the end of the test, the McDonald's food hadn't changed at all, except for it was now hard. I could have sworn it was "fresh" from the Mickey D's joint itself based solely on how it looked.

That's just nasty... just goes to show how much preservaties and miscellaneous chemicals they put into the food...

(Great. I'm saying all this and how I avoid fast food places, but I'm going on a trip in a week and we will end up stopping at one at some point. Oh well. Can't be too picky all the time.)

Double Cheese Burgers are disgusting.

We have triple cheese burgers in Australia. I ate them once and I had to drink a whole bottle of water to swallow down the after-taste.

Oh, and by the way, I came across this thread while having an urge at work for a quarter pounder. So I googled "McDonald's" and "acne". After reading everything here, I went off and bought myself a broccoli salad instead.

I work at Mc Donalds here in the uk .. eat it every day an out of a full staff only 3 people suffer from acne and only 2 are overweight. So it cant be all that bad. I mean whats in it thats so bad? beef? chicken? bread? lettuce? must be the pickle! and the oil is just sunflower oil the same as you would use at home( well here in the uk it is ) .
They guys eat the chicken burgers before going to the gym every time for the protien.
Maybe in other parts of the world the burgers are not proper burgers but in my experience they are 100% beef/chicken and it doesnt effect anyone i knows acne.
But i eat is as convenience. I eat it because it because its quick energy and sustinance for long shifts.

mcdonalds and all fast food joints in general are just bad for your health... you should eat fast food no more than twice a month.. but avoiding it period would be your best option

Personally, I don't think fast food breaks me out.

I will say that I've been off it [lol like drugs?!XD] for about 2+ months & I feel really good about it! physically & financially...I always felt guilty after eating fast food, that it's bad for you and after a few times going it adds up. $$$!

If you aren't sure if it breaks you out, give it up for a while and see if anything changes.

Yeah I'd advise you to not eat at Mcdonald's lol, I had to get my gallbladder removed when I was 16-17 because I had gallstones. Oh, and I have never been overweight.

I know I got them from fast food because you get them from fatty foods, lucky me. I don't eat fast food anymore.

how does one know if they have gallstones?

It was the worst pain I've ever experienced, on the upper right side of my abdomen. I suffered for like 7 months.
