A fitness content creator embarked on a challenge to take part in a ‘fast food’ marathon over 50 hours, and he shared his shocking results.
YouTuber Will Tennyson is known for his videos around ‘fitness, food and lifestyle’, as described in his channel description.
But this doesn’t stop him from taking on some of the most extreme health-related challenges out there, on both ends of the spectrum.
While he has chosen to eat fast food for two days straight, he has also eaten and trained like some of the fittest people in the world for content.
His viral video has accumulated over 5.3 million views in the couple of years that it has been up on the site for, as he documented exactly what happened when taking on the lifestyle that many people choose to live.
The 30-year-old ate a selection of snacks, takeaways and sugary drinks, all of which are known as ultra-processed foods (UPF), which is a term to describe food that is made with colouring, sweeteners, emulsifiers, preservatives or other additives.
Some examples include cakes, biscuits, crisps, fizzy drinks – the list goes on.
Surprisingly though, some yogurts, mass produced bread and cereal, pasta sauce, and a few other everyday items fall into this category as well.
Worryingly, UPFs now make up half to four fifths of the average British diet according to research, and serious health issues have been linked to the sedentary lifestyle too.
The Canadian ate a range of items, such as a range of UPFs from a supermarket, adding it to coffee with cream and sugar, with a box of doughnuts.
As a commitment to the cause, he bought a games console and while eating snacks all day, he admitted that he felt ‘gross’.
Tennyson said that while playing video games, it’s easy to ‘get so distracted and all of a sudden you [have eaten] 3,000 calories.’

Joking that he might go ‘airborne’ due to how gassy he was after eating a Papa John’s pizza, he went on and rounded the day off with some McDonald’s.
The following day, he woke up and made a shocking admission: “Somehow I’m more malnourished than before despite like tripling my calories.”
Tennyson added that he also had a breakout of spots on his face in just 24 hours, joking: “I can practically make my own fries with the oil on my forehead,” before revealing: “My muscles feel numb and I feel kinda sad.”
Tennyson also only recorded around 4,000 steps for the day, a lot less than normal, as health experts recommend people get at least 10,000 steps a day to improve their wellbeing.
Unmotivated and lethargic on the second day, he finished the 50-hour challenge by eating the rest of his pizza and having some sushi.
On the morning of day three, he said that he ‘felt like s***’, explaining: “Just got back from the gym and it was horrific. I was sweating more than ever I don’t even know if it was sweat or if it was oil,
“The point was to show people that unhealthy habits don’t just affect how you look, but they affect your overall well-being your mood your happiness your motivation your drive,” he said.
