Check out this funny column (I've been following) @LaTimesHealth Two Guys Lose Weight: I want to pig out at Fatburger! http://lat.ms/eMBpoo
Losing weight or "burning off a high fat meal" is a simple math equation. One must burn 3,500 calories and not replace them to lose one pound, regardless of when or how the calories are eliminated - in one "biggest loser" type of work out or gradually over any period of time. Eating any high fat meal (such as the one you described) will not only add calories to your Fat Bucket, but will put you at risk for coronary artery plaque rupture (which causes a heart attack or stroke or both) due to the wicked changes in the chemistry of the body as it tries to metabolize the fat food. Additionally, elevations in cardiac risk markers (associated with inflammation and not regularly measured at an annual check up) can cause plaque rupture even in very small blockages following a high fat meal. Even if you are successful at "burning off" the calories of a high fat meal, your risk for heart attack and stroke increases with these binges. High fat, fast foods are designed to lure you into multiple feeding frenzies, which in turn keeps you fat and the vendor happy. www.drstaceyhiltondavis.blogspot.com
