As the film begins, Spurlock, age 32 at the time the movie was filmed in 2003, is physically above average, as attested to by three doctors (a cardiologist, a gastroenterologist, and a generalpractitioner), as well as a nutritionist and a personal trainer. He enlists all five to track his health during the month-long binge. All of the health professionals predict the "Mcdiet" will haveunwelcome effects on his body, but none expect anything too drastic, one citing the human body as being "extremely adaptable."

He will attempt to walk about as much as a typical American, based on a suggested figure of 5,000 steps per day,[4] but he did not closely adhere to this, as he walked relatively morewhile in New York than Houston.
