He followed this diet for 100 hours: What happened to his body?
Tennyson, who started the experiment with 5.7 kilos of fat, aimed to reduce all the fat in his body to a minimum in order to display his muscles in the clearest way possible in bodybuilding scenes. However, this process turned into torture for him. Even his own trainer described the diet as “ruthless”. The phenomenon, which started normally on the morning of the first day, experienced serious exhaustion in the afternoon. Side effects such as hunger, physical weakness, headache, insomnia and visual disturbances gradually increased. Tennyson described this process as follows: “I am starving. My head hurts, I want to cry a little. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I will be devastated.”
As the diet progressed, Tennyson’s energy level plummeted. On the third day, he developed weakness in his legs. Even small actions like watching TV or opening the curtains became unbearable. A blood test revealed a serious drop in his testosterone levels. According to experts, this was due to a lack of nutrients needed for testosterone production, such as zinc, magnesium and vitamin D. “Even blinking felt like cardio. The sun gave me a headache, and sitting around and doing nothing seemed like the only solution,” Tennyson said.
By the end of the fourth day, Tennyson had achieved his goal of 5 percent body fat, a remarkable feat considering the average male body fat percentage is around 20 percent.
Although he expressed his satisfaction with this appearance, physical exhaustion was at its peak on the last day of the experiment: “Even flexing my muscles hurts. I have never been thinner, but I have never looked better in my life either.” Stating that he had lost a total of 4.5 kilos by the end of the fifth day, Tennyson said that he felt the obvious differences in his body, especially in his thigh area. At the end of the experiment, he surprisingly expressed that he would miss the extreme diet he had been on:
“It’s become so routine that I feel like I’m going to be a bit sad when it’s all over.” While Will Tennyson’s extreme dieting experience has garnered a lot of attention on social media, experts warn that such diets promising rapid weight loss can lead to permanent health problems. A balanced and sustainable diet is recommended in the long term.
