Man loses 60kg with fast food swap

A Queensland man who dropped 60kg by swapping his favourite fast food items with healthier versions has gone viral after sharing his 'game changing' McDonald’s McMuffin recipe.

Dez Cerimagic went from 135kg to 75kg swapping by creating healthier alternatives of the most popular fast-food items.

Most recently, the 22-year-old from the Gold Coast sent TikTok followers into a frenzy after revealing how he makes a healthy McDonald’s sausage and egg McMuffin at home.

But while the Macca’s version has 23g of protein and 21g of fat, Dez’s contains 36g of protein and just 14g of fat – the secret is swapping sausage mince for turkey mince.

Ingredients

80g Turkey Mince (can be substituted for beef or chicken mince)
Garlic Powder, Onion Powder & All Purpose Seasoning (or seasonings of choice)
6 Eggs
6 Toasted English Breakfast Muffins
6 Servings Light Laughing Cow Cheese
6 Slices Smokey Cheese

Method

1. Mix mince with spices, form into six patties and cook on high heat
2. Break 6 eggs into a bowl, whisk together and form into small greased oven baking dish
3. Bake at 200 degrees celsius for 5-7 minutes and cut into 6 pieces
4. Spread 1 serving light cream cheese across each muffin
5. Assemble muffins and top with slices of smokey cheese

Does this sound like it would be as good as the real thing?

At least it looks like it's made from real food, unlike Macca's stuff.

And much healthier ... good on him.

80g of mince to make six patties ... I don't think so. More likely 480g (1 lb) for six patties, so 80g each.

Yum,not a fan of Maccas (or other fast food) at the best of times, even their hot chocky tastes like it has a tonne of sugar in every cup-yuk!
