But I like to go to mcDonalds and have hamburger, fries and a coke!

To be thin, you don't necessarily have to cut these things out. A meal at McDonalds is a calorie dense meal, no doubt about it. But if you have written yourself a diet, that includes a trip to McDonalds then a bit of strategy is required to fit it in. So let's say you love to go to McDonalds and get a big mac, large coke and fries. If the total number of calories for that meal is 1200, and you have written yourself a diet that allows for 1500cals a day, then eat a 200cal breakfast, a 100cal snack, and then do it. Go to McDonalds for your dinner. I might also take a multi-vitamin that day, just to make sure you get all your micronutrients. But that strategy will work, and still allow you to lose weight. So your daily menu would look something like this:

Breakfast:

1 cup cereal (no sugar)
1 cup milk
(200cals)

Lunch:

1 apple.
coffee with milk.
(100cals)

Dinner:

Big mac
medium fries
large coke
(1200 cals)

It will feel a bit like fasting until dinner, but that isn't a bad thing. I will discuss fasting in a future blog. But fasting always makes things taste even better! Enjoy!
