HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. -- John Cisna ate McDonald's food every meal for 6 months and lost 60 pounds.

"Not a soul thought this could be pulled off," Cisna said. 

A science teacher from Iowa, Cisna's students managed not only his calories for weight loss, but also his every bite to bring cholesterol levels into acceptable ranges.  

"At McDonald's we've done so many things to help American make smarter choices," McDonald's owner and operated Chuck Edwards said. 

That message of it's not where you eat but what you eat and how much was the focus of Cisna's recent presentation to the Hendersonville Rotary Club. Still, the presentation came with caution.

"This was nothing more than an experiment," Cisna said. 

What will bring about better health is thinking twice about what you order no matter where you are.
