Fat Head

Fat Head is a documentary that challenges the conventional wisdom about obesity and healthy eating. Comedian and health writer Tom Naughton embarks on a month-long experiment, eating only fast food while demonstrating that nearly everything we've been told about obesity and healthy eating is wrong. With a focus on the science and politics behind nutrition recommendations, Fat Head questions the lipid hypothesis and the notion that the United States is experiencing an obesity epidemic. The film features interviews with doctors and dietitians, and shows how Naughton loses weight on a fast-food diet while keeping his HDL levels high. Fat Head offers a fresh and humorous perspective on the obesity debate, challenging viewers to rethink their assumptions about food and health.
