Maginnis weighed 238 lbs (107.9kg) when he started his challenge in February and decided to eat 'nothing but McDonald's' to kickstart his weight-loss journey. In a TikTok video, he joked: "Because, if you're gonna start getting into better physical shape, McDonald's is the place you go."

While there are certainly healthier options than fast food for those looking to lose weight, Maginnis believes that the key to his success is not what he eats, but how much he eats. He plans to order his meals as usual but only eats half of what he is given and opts for water instead of soda.

"I'm going to go ahead and cut the meals in half just to prove to myself that it's not as much what you're eating, it's the quantity that we're eating that really jacks us up," he explained.
Maginnis is documenting his progress on TikTok, where he has gained over 280,000 followers in just a few weeks. He has named his challenge '1/2 Size Me,' a play on the title of the documentary 'Super Size Me,' in which filmmaker Morgan Spurlock gained weight and experienced negative health effects after eating only McDonald's for 30 days.
However, Maginnis plans to do the opposite of Spurlock and eat smaller portions of McDonald's for 100 days. By day 10, Maginnis had already lost 12.5 pounds (5.7 kg) and was down to 225.5 pounds (102.2 kg).
"I believe by reducing the amount of food I put in, my body is going to respond well to that, burn off the excess fat, my cholesterol, my triglycerides, I believe all of that is going to improve," he said in a TikTok video.
Maginnis has also shared his blood work with his followers, but some are concerned about the effects of his diet on his health. One viewer wrote, "If this was my blood results I wouldn't come within 100 miles of McDonald's!!" Another, who identified as a physician, advised Maginnis to "follow up with your doc!"
Despite the criticism, Maginnis is confident that he can prove his theory right. "I'm gonna stick with it for the whole 100 days and see what happens," he said. "I'm excited to see what kind of results I can get."

While Maginnis may be seeing results so far, it's important to note that a diet consisting solely of fast food is not a sustainable or healthy way to lose weight. Registered dietitian Amanda Baker Lemein advises against following such restrictive diets: "While some people may lose weight on this type of diet, it's not recommended because it's not a balanced way to eat," she said. "You're missing out on key nutrients and vitamins."
Conclusion
Maginnis' story is a reminder that weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and that what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to find a sustainable, balanced approach to eating that works for you and your body.
