Czech take on the Super Size Me Diet

You know what I was saying about Eastern European food being the next 'big thing' well it now seems that a man lost weight while eating nothing but Czech grub!

Not certain that it would make the pages of a new diet book though as the volunteer copied the Super Size Me documentary by Morgan Spurlock. Just as Spurlock spent an entire month eating solely at American fast food restaurants - McDonald's I believe - the Czech's menu consisted solely of typical Czech dishes. He was forbidden to exercise and was only allowed to eat fresh fruit and veg if it appeared in the ordered food. He ate solely in pubs, restaurants, cafeterias and food stalls. No exercise either but beer was permitted.

I assume the experiment lasted a month, although the article doesn't specifically say, but during this time the guy lost six kilogrammes and his blood count "is better than before he started the experiment".
