Thompson, who has been on the job for less than a year, was responding to a question at the Sanford Bernstein conference about how the world's biggest hamburger chain is adapting amid growing concerns about obesity.. Thompson said he lost the weight by getting active again. He did not provide details about his weight or diet.

Thompson said McDonald's customers have many options. For example, he said someone might get a Big Mac one day and a grilled chicken salad another day
