Super shrink me.
Nashville grandpa Kevin Maginnis, 56, is able to defy all odds by eating McDonald’s for 100 consecutive days in an effort to drop some extra weight — and it’s already working.
Maginnis, who weighed in at 238 kilos on Feb. 21, proclaimed he would receive every meal over the subsequent three months from the world’s largest fast-food chain.
“I woke up this morning and I weighed 238 kilos,” Maginnis shared on his TikTok page @bigmaccoaching on Feb. 21. “I made a decision that that is totally unacceptable.”
Maginnis, whose TikTok has been viewed over 650k times, believes that weight gain is attributed to not what you’re eating but how much food an individual is consuming.
While on his bizarre weight-reduction plan journey, Maginnis ruled out snacking and can only eat half of his order per meal, saving the opposite half for his next meal with water being his drink of alternative.
“It’s not as much what you’re eating, it’s the amount that we’re eating that actually jacks us up,” Maginnis said in his first video, starting the eating regimen. “I do know a lot of you might be gonna think I’m crazy, but let’s discover.”
Maginnis, a business coach turned eating regimen vlogger, said the whole lot on the menu is fair game when he selects his meals — including desserts.
His first meal consisted of a Sausage McMuffin with egg and cheese and a well-done hash brown for breakfast, eating the rest of the meal for his lunch.
He wrapped up the day with a Quarter Pounder “done like a Big Mac” and fries for dinner.
By Day two, Maginnis said he was feeling “heat” in his stomach from cutting down his calorie intake.
On Day three, Maginnis shared that he was down three kilos and revealed he had blood work done to see how his eating regimen was affecting his health, other than weight reduction.
His blood work showed his A1C (blood sugar levels) was “not good” with the remaining of the outcomes being “okay,” but Maginnis believes the more weight he shreds, the higher his numbers might be the subsequent time around.
Maginnis, who selected to share his journey on TikTok to maintain himself accountable, has been documenting his eating regimen every day — sometimes posting multiple videos — and by the tip of his first week, he was down 10 kilos.
But, Magninnis’s biggest motivator for dropping the load and attempting to turn into healthier, is his family.
“The largest motivation is wanting to be healthy for my family. I got kids and grandkids, and I would like to be here for them,” the dieter shared in one other TikTok.
As of Thursday, Maginnis was right down to 225.5 kilos.
His interesting eating regimen also landed him an appearance on the Today Show Thursday, where he told hosts Carson Daly and Sheinelle Jones his eating regimen was “absolutely working.”
“You’ve got to get to that a part of your stomach where you’ve some heat in your stomach,’ he told the hosts. “They call it hunger; I call it my incinerator turning on to burn off all the surplus fat.”
Maginnis revealed that he had had prior success in his youth with cutting weight being a wrestler, and boxing for the military, two sports that require athletes to be a certain weight before competing.
Jones asked Maginnis throughout the segment if he was consulting with doctors during his eating regimen and what they considered his offbeat eating regimen.
“I even have cardiologists that like it and cardiologists that hate it,” Maginnis jokingly shared. “Identical to the comments on TikTok.”
Maginnis also said he selected McDonald’s and that the fast food giant was not sponsoring him in any way.
“I’m big [and] my name is Maginnis, so the nickname Big Mac has been thrown out at times. I figured, “Why not embrace it?” And I like McDonald’s,” he said.
Maginnis’s eating regimen shares similarities to Morgan Spurlock’s 2004 documentary “Super Size Me,” where Spurlock ate only Mcdonald’s for 30 days and gained nearly 25 kilos during his eating regimen, together with his health physical and mental speedily declining, forcing him to finish the experiment.
