Fairview man goes viral after eating McDonalds and losing weight – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale

FAIRVIEW, Tennessee (WSMV) When trying to lose weight you might avoid McDonalds. But one Fairview man says thats the only place he turned to.

When its lunch hour at the Fairview McDonalds, for most people in the drive-thru line its their first Mickey Ds trip of the day.

For Kevin Maginnis, its his second. In fact, for the past 17 days hes gone to the fine fast-food establishment for every meal.

The trick is he only eats half the portion hes given.

This isnt supersized me; this is half size me, says Maginnis.

Hes on a mission to lose 50 pounds in 100 days.

Nothing else has gone in my body, not even a breath mint, Maginnis adds.

Its a journey he started with his very first TikTok that went viral with 2-million views. In it, he says he was originally at 238 pounds, which was unacceptable, so he went to McDonalds.

With millions of people watching, theres no way Im going to slip up and accidentally over eat and eat the whole thing, Maginnis says.

If its working for him, kudos to him, says Dr. Gitanjali Srivastava, a weight-loss doctor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

She says Maginnis diet isnt for everyone and people should focus on eating unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

There are harmful effects for a long term processed diet, says Srivastava. It can have detrimental effects on our cholesterol, our glucose, all of those levels.

I have a lot of people who say this isnt healthy, dont believe that its good, youre going to kill yourself, rest in peace, says Maginnis. For all of them I say follow along, lets find out.

He says he doesnt care what some doctors have to say. He is down 18 pounds already by eating half his meals and taking the rest home for dinner.

Thats something Maginnis will be doing for the next 83 days.

Can we just fast forward to the end? he says. Can we just go right there and see what it turns out to be?

Maginnis says he checked in with doctors and cardiologists. They say he is in good shape right now.
