A man from Nashville, Tennessee, set out to lose weight in a very unusual way: he ate only McDonald’s food for 100 days in a row.
A man’s crazy diet
Kevin Maginnis, 57, a father and grandfather, decided he needed to lose weight after reaching 238 pounds in February.
Just 100 days later, Maginnis had lost 58.5 kilograms. Maginnis joined “Your World Cavuto” on Thursday to celebrate the 100th day of his unconventional diet and his remarkable progress.
“Three meals a day, every day, for the last 100 days, nothing but McDonald’s,” he said.
The man described his diet as follows: He said he eats McDonald’s meals three times a day, but only eats half of what he orders.
For example, in the morning, Maginnis will order two burritos and a hash brown or muffin.
Then he eats a burrito and half a hash brown or half a muffin for breakfast — saving the rest for lunch.
For dinner, he orders a Big Mac and eats half the burger, half the fries and half the apple pie—saving the rest for the next day.
Maginnis said his health after the 100-day challenge is excellent — with lower cholesterol and normal blood pressure.
How much weight he lost
Maginnis has not only shed pounds — but he also has healthy blood pressure and good cholesterol.
His cholesterol dropped 65 points, he noted, and he said his blood pressure was “a teenager’s.”
“I’m healthier in every way,” he said.
With so many visits to McDonald’s in the past 100 days, Maginnis said he’s a pretty loyal customer.
His wife was so impressed with his diet results that on day 40 of the diet, she decided to join him in this challenge. Now, after 65 days, he has lost 18 kilograms.
