The only thing I'm familiar with of his is Super Size Me

He concealed his actual eating logs, and from what was visible he massively overdid things deliberately. Several people have done basically the same thing since, and none had anything like the health effects he did. Turns out prior to doing Super Size Me he was a vegan on a low-fat and low-carb diet, so of course abruptly transitioning to McDonald's was very hard on his GI tract and had nasty knock-on effects. He was vomiting quite a bit. Additionally, he didn't reveal until years after that he was at times drinking up to a fifth of whiskey every day during Super Size Me, which would certainly account for much of the health effects, the mental health effects, and is also an additional 1800 calories per day...

(I'm not endorsing fast food, but Super Size Me was anything but a documentary).

Also, he got the largest possible drink option, the largest sandwich, the largest possible order of fries, ice cream etc. at every meal. I suspected there was a lot of fakery. The standard basic cheeseburger, small order of fries and a small Coke, a senior coffee and a sausage McMuffin… Ozark so bad really.
