On Monday, he shared that his wife, Melody, will be joining him on his food journey for the duration of the challenge.
“For all of you who have been following along saying, ‘Yeah, but you’re a guy, you don’t understand whether or not this would work for a woman’ — guess what? My wife of 32 years, Melody, is joining us for the last 60 days of this journey,” he said in arecent TikTok video.
“I know a lot of women have said ‘Is this going to work for a postmenopausal woman?’ And I don’t know, but he’s been very inspirational,” Melody said of her husband. “And I’m willing to go along and see if this will work.”
Before Kevin gave an update on his own progress, the pair shared a kiss to mark the news of Melody’s diet.
This week, Kevin shared that he lost 29 pounds on day 34. However, the following day, he told his followers he gained back half a pound. In a TikTok clip sharing the update, Kevin said he doesn’t have proof whether or not it’s “working,” but he’s on his way to his goal.

“I’m going to eat nothing but McDonald’s for the next 100 days, but instead of eating everything they give me, I’m going to go ahead and cut the meals in half just to prove to myself and maybe some of the other people watching that it’s not as much what you’re eating, it’s the quantity that we’re eating that really jacks us up,” he said.
