Many people
enjoy eating Nutella so much that it has actually become a ritual for most of
them to eat the snack out of the jar.
David
Allegretti, a reporter from Vice, tookon the challenge of living on the sweet
spread and nothing else for one whole week. He started with 146 pounds and
right after the first day, he immediately lost 0.5 pounds. He began his day
with Nutella and did not feel bad since it is not unusual for him to eat. But
the same thing cannot be said for rest of the day.
What Happened
the Following Days?
The following
days were not so good for the reporter:
Second Day:
- Dropped to 143 pounds
- Headache
- Diarrhea
- Craved for pizza and felt very hungry
- Foggy brain
- Sluggish
- Hearing Problems
Third Day:
- Dropped to 142 pounds
- Sense of smell heightened
- Intensely craving for other food
- More diarrhea
- Had energy after eating, but experienced sugar crash
- Felt and looked sick
Forth Day:
- No energy
- Tried methods to enjoy Nutella, such as melted into the coffee and freezing it
Fifth Day:
- Weighed only 140.8 pounds
- Poor concentration
- Sleepy and unable to focus
Sixth Day:
- 140 Pounds
- Looked forward to the next day feeling happy, but regretfull
Finally,
during the seventh day, David finished the challenge and he weighed 139 pounds.
He celebrated waking up, Knowing he would be soon eating. His first meal after
the Nutella experiment was a roasted pork
sandwich.
The Bad
Effect of Eating Excessive Amounts of Nutella
One of the
most obvious negative side effects of eating too much Nutella is biarrhea. But
what is really bothersome with the experiment is that it can cause the brain to
malfunction. David could not focus just after dinner on his first day. He also
could not hear well as his friends tried talking to him. He had no energy
throughout the experiment, even though he did experience that momentary bliss,
fatigue comes with vengeance.
Nutella may
be your favorite snack, but eating it alone for one week or even a day is
definitely not healthy. It can have a negative effect on your health and because
it is sweet, it can contribute to obesity and even type 2 diabetes – especially
if you are not an active person.
David says he
will not eat Nutella anymore, but of course, he can never be sure what will
happen in a month or two.
