Depends. I have no idea how many calories the guy was eating and how much he exercised during the McDonalds deal. Could have been largely muscle, and I believe the doctor would emphasize that to discourage crash dieting. That doesn't mean it was all muscle (it wasn't, medically it can not be, you lose fat along with it).

>I trust a doctor's words more than that of a guy who thinks a high-fat diet will help them lose fat.
I haven't seen it lately but I'm guessing you misinterpreted what the doctor was saying, which is that because he was crash dieting, he lost a lot of muscle.

Curious if they did a before and after MRI. Though if you're crash dieting on McDick's salads it's pretty inferable that the guy lost a fair amount of muscle.
