WATCH – FINGER LICKIN’ GROSS –
Dec. 2, 2021 – A fitness fanatic who challenged himself to only eat KFC for a month revealed he gained one kilogram of weight every three days.
Conan Visser packed on eight kilograms altogether by sticking to a strict diet of a burgers, fries and deep-fried chicken meals for 30 days.
Mr. Visser, from Brisbane, was hoping to raise awareness about the detrimental effects fast food and alcohol can have on mental and physical health. The fitness guru began the challenge weighing in at a healthy 165 lbs. Four weeks later, he weighed 182 lbs. He documented his day-to-day meals on TikTok and documented a number of worrying changes to his body, including signs of kidney and liver damage in his blood tests and became constipated. Mr. Visser said he noticed changes to his body within the first few days. He began to experience stomach pain and suffered an urgent need to visit the bathroom as many as four times a day.
‘My stomach pain has just not gone,’ he said in another video.
‘This journey is just super weird. A lot of highs and lows. I’m just starting to feel gross and I’m hating the weight getting put on.’
Mr Visser’s pain escalated to the point he had to visit hospital by the 10th day of the challenge.
‘I went to the doctor’s today, it’s getting so bad,’ he said in another video. ‘We got my bloods, urine, stool. And then she rang the hospital and I had to go straight to hospital to get a CT scan and they pushed me in front of everybody else to get it.’
The CT results showed Mr Visser’s intestines were blocked up because of the lack of fibre in the meals.
Mr Visser was determined to finish the remaining 20 days. He resorted to powerful laxatives to unblock his stomach.
His mental health further deteriorated over the remainder of the challenge.
By the end of the challenge he had consumed more than 100,000 calories and spent $1,000 on meals.
