A man who ate nothing but eggs for five days has revealed the surprising effect it had on his body.<\/p>\n

Joshua Allard, 25, from Oklahoma<\/a> City, challenged himself to consume 150 eggs\u201430 a day\u2014as part of an extreme diet experiment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The content creator, known online for promoting so-called ‘looksmaxxing’ techniques designed to enhance physical appearance, documented the process in a YouTube<\/a> video posted on June 16.<\/p>\n

Allard bought a box of 15 dozen large eggs for $36.45 from US warehouse chain Sam’s Club, describing it as a ‘killer deal’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He ate five meals a day, each consisting of around half a dozen eggs, with no other food or supplements.<\/p>\n

By the end of the five-day challenge, he said he had become ‘very, very lean’ and shared photos showing his dramatically slimmed-down physique\u2014leaving many viewers stunned.<\/p>\n

In the comments, one fan wrote: ‘Amazing video Josh,’ while another joked: ‘I want to see bro eating a whole cow in a week.’<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the experience, Allard said: ‘Well, one, I survived. I did not die. Thank goodness for that. I got very, very lean. I didn’t take any creatine throughout this time. I didn’t really supplement or anything.’<\/p>\n

\"Allard <\/p>\n

Allard bought a box of 15 dozen large eggs for $36.45 from US warehouse chain Sam’s Club, describing it as a ‘killer deal’<\/p>\n

‘I didn’t even supplement vitamin D3 plus K, which is usually one of my favourite supplements\u2014strictly egg,’ he said.<\/p>\n

Despite how gruelling the diet might sound, Allard claimed he actually struggled to limit himself to eating 30 eggs a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It almost became addictive. It is crazy,’ he added.<\/p>\n

He speculated that the intense cravings could have been down to the ‘pretty significant’ calorie deficit he was in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, given the high fat content of eggs, he wasn’t convinced that was the full explanation.<\/p>\n

Describing the mental effects, Allard likened himself to a bear preparing for hibernation, comparing his egg-heavy diet to a carnivore’s: ‘very high in fat, moderate in protein, and no carbs.’<\/p>\n

‘Turns out my body was preparing to go into hibernation,’ he joked. ‘That’s basically how I felt\u2014very, very tired at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I slept amazingly. My stress levels were way, way, way down. And my body got extremely lean in a matter of five days.’<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The content creator shared the results on his body after the challenge which left viewers amazed<\/p>\n

While he is no longer eating 30 eggs a day, he said: ‘I do eat a lot of eggs. I still love eggs. They’re a superfood.<\/p>\n

He praised the eggs for their healthy fats which are ‘great for your hormones’, the high protein content, and amino acids.<\/p>\n

High protein foods help your body build and repair tissues like muscles, bones, skin and hair.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, eating foods containing amino acids helps the body build muscle and breakdown food, as well as boosting the immune system.<\/p>\n

‘They’re one of the best nutrient-dense foods out there. So it is something I would definitely recommend,’ he said.<\/p>\n

Despite this, he doesn’t recommend others eating 30 eggs a day\u2014but rather six in the morning and four in the night to give you energy.<\/p>\n

The biggest problem about the challenge, he shared is not getting a natural source of creatine, which supplies energy to your muscles and promotes brain health.<\/p>\n

So, he recommends to also eat fish and red meat which are rich in creatine, and if you aren’t a carnivore, fruits like strawberries and vegetables such as sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"Professor <\/p>\n

Professor Tom Sanders, a nutrition and diet specialist at King’s College London, explained what the enormous number of eggs would have likely provided the content creator\u00a0<\/p>\n

Professor Tom Sanders, a nutrition and diet specialist at King’s College London, told MailOnline: ‘The eggs would provide around 2000 calories, 195g protein, 135g fat of which around 35g saturated fat, and it would also provide about 10g cholesterol.’<\/p>\n

For most people, consuming cholesterol-rich foods is harmless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However consuming excessive amounts can be risky\u2014particularly for those with certain genetic variants.<\/p>\n

‘It could cause “bad” LDL cholesterol in blood to rise,’ he said.<\/p>\n

High LDL cholesterol is believed to be a key risk fact in heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Allard added: ‘Guys just remember to be chomping on the egg shells for calcium by the way. Kidding. If you guys want to you can check out a video I made about that.’<\/p>\n

That video followed a TikTok clip, which has racked up over 600,000 views, showing him eating crushed egg shells\u2014something he referred to as a ‘forbidden bone mass supplement’ because of their calcium content.<\/p>\n

The comment section quickly filled with viewers questioning the safety of the stunt, particularly around salmonella risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others claimed they experienced side effects after trying it themselves, though it’s unclear whether this was before or after seeing the video.<\/p>\n

‘I tried that and after, I had diarrhea,’ wrote one viewer. Another claimed: ‘I tried it. Sadly I got (a) kidney stone after a week of doing it.’<\/p>\n

In response, another user replied: ‘You can’t get them that fast,’ a comment that Allard liked.<\/p>\n

To clarify, Professor Sanders said: ‘On the issue of kidney stones\u20141000mg of calcium a day would have no effect on renal stones.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man who ate nothing but eggs for five days has revealed the surprising effect it had on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205049,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[92,105,12,16,15,1737],"class_list":{"0":"post-205048","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-youtube"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114726918244155638","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
