ANI
Music producer Benny Blanco reportedly lost nearly five pounds after following an unusual pizza-only diet for five days. According to E! News, the 38-year-old conducted the experiment to demonstrate that weight loss depends on overall calorie intake rather than completely avoiding particular foods.Blanco documented the challenge on TikTok, saying he wanted to “prove you can lose weight eating literally anything.”
Benny Blanco Starts Pizza-Only Diet
Blanco began the experiment weighing 152.2 pounds and selected a large thin-crust cheese pizza from Domino’s as his only food for the challenge.On the first day, he showed one of his portions while explaining how much pizza he could eat throughout the day.”This is 1/16 of everything I can eat today,” Blanco said while holding a slice of pizza.However, sticking to the unusual meal plan quickly proved challenging.
Someone Ate His Pizza at Work
On the second day, Blanco discovered that several slices of his pizza had disappeared while he was away from work.”Just came back into work and someone ate like eight slices of my pizza,” he said.That same day, Blanco visited the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles with his wife, Selena Gomez. While Gomez enjoyed a regular meal, Blanco continued following his pizza-only routine.
‘I’m Tired of Pizza’
By the third day, the repetitive diet appeared to be taking a toll on Blanco.”I’m tired of pizza. I hate my life,” he said, according to E! News.Despite becoming tired of eating the same food repeatedly, Blanco continued the challenge through the fifth day.On the final day, he joked about how long the experiment had felt.”I don’t even remember who I am as a human being. Like, what was life before pizza?”
Benny Blanco Loses 4.7 Pounds in Five Days
After completing the five-day challenge, Blanco stepped on the scales and recorded a weight of 147.5 pounds, down from his starting weight of 152.2 pounds.”I just lost 4.7 pounds in five days eating only pizza,” he said. “Nothing matters. You can do whatever you want.”Blanco also said he felt good during the experiment.
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez Share a Love for Food
Blanco and Selena Gomez have frequently shared their interest in food and cooking. The couple celebrated Gomez’s birthday in July with an Italian-themed feast during a cooking class in Tuscany.The meal included dishes such as pasta, stuffed zucchini flowers and eggplant parmigiana, highlighting the couple’s shared enthusiasm for cooking and food.[With ANI inputs]Add
