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).

I eat at Micky-Dees regularly - Pretty much since 1961...
Now, I’m old - and healthy.
That’s TWO data points.
We need more data.

He claimed that at the start of his month of McDonalds he was totally healthy and at the end his doc was shocked that he had developed liver isues from eating McDonalds.
But he lied. He was a chronic alcoholic for years, incdluding during shooting though he says in the movie he doesn't drink. Liver problems: years of alcohol abuse or a month of big macs? You decide.
