I'm gluten-free and survived on nothing but fast food for 5 days - here's what happened
Business Insider/Mary Hanbury
In that time, it has become easier and easier to find gluten-free foods, especially in New York City where I live.
That is, unless we're talking about fast food.
Even though an estimated 2.7 million Americans follow a gluten-free diet, fast-food restaurants in the US haven't done much to appeal to this growing population of people who avoid foods like bread and pasta made with wheat.
In an effort to survey the gluten-free landscape, I set out on a mission to see if I could survive only on fast-food for five days. My most important rule was to only eat at national fast-food chains and consume at least three meals a day.
Here's how I did it:
- I quit McKinsey after 1.5 years. I was making over $200k but my mental health was shattered.
- Some Tesla factory workers realized they were laid off when security scanned their badges and sent them back on shuttles, sources say
- I tutor the children of some of Dubai's richest people. One of them paid me $3,000 to do his homework.
