A Nashville grandfather who ate only McDonald’s for 100 days straight – breakfast, lunch and dinner – boasted about his massive weight reduction on the ultimate day of the bizarre food plan that began earlier this yr.

“Hey, don’t be bitter while I’m eating my apple fritter and losing a few pounds,” Maginnis said during an interview with NBC’s Today Show on Thursday — the ultimate day of his food plan.
He explained a part of his secret to success was eating only half the provided food in each meal and sticking to water moderately than soda.
He also didn’t devour alcohol or munch on snacks through the 100 days.
“Because I used to be eating so small, I used to be all the time hungry by the point the subsequent meal rolled around,” Maginnis said, urging others to “stop vilifying the food” and concentrate on the portions.
“Are there higher micronutrients or macronutrients for brain health? Absolutely. But relating to eliminating obesity, reduce the dimensions of the meals,” he said.
He claimed his blood work has also improved, noting his triglycerides are down 205 points and cholesterol 65 points lower.
“Can eating 1 / 4 pounder with cheese improve my A1C?” he told Today hosts. “Looks like it might because I used to be pre-diabetic before, down into healthy ranges now.”
Maginnis has sent out infinite videos on TikTok concerning the food plan to maintain himself accountable with the largest motivator to drop the load attributed to be healthy for this family.
