Music producer Benny Blanco just turned the internet’s favorite food into a questionable diet plan. He ate nothing but a large thin crust Domino’s pizza every day for five days, documenting the whole experience on TikTok. The results? He dropped from 152.2 pounds to 147.5, losing 4.7 pounds despite being absolutely miserable by day three. His caption said it all:“I hate my life.”By day five, he declared victory with“I just lost 4.7 pounds eating pizza. Nothing matters, do whatever you want.”

The experiment got even more chaotic when Blanco brought a pizza to a date night with wife Selena Gomez at the Sunset Tower Hotel in LA. Because nothing says romance like a lukewarm Domino’s box at one of the city’s fanciest spots. While it seems like an unhinged social experiment, this is actually clever marketing for his upcoming book“F–k Failure,”which drops September 15. The book focuses on turning failure into success, and apparently that includes turning a questionable eating habit into headlines.

Before you clear your schedule for a week of pizza-only eating, keep in mind that nutrition experts would probably not approve. Losing nearly five pounds in five days is mostly water weight and not sustainable. But Blanco’s stunt raises a fun question: is any diet actually sustainable if you’re miserable? What’s the weirdest diet you’ve ever tried? Tell us in the comments.
