The Michel twins are no stranger’s to the brutality of sugar-fueled food challenges but, even after successfully taking down 27,000 calories of Milka chocolate, 100 Krispy Kreme donuts, 16 pounds of cake and a multitude of other questionable achievements, it all now seems to pale in comparison to the ruthlessness of taking on 146 Hostess cupcakes!
While having 6 flavors of the classic snack cake present did deliver a relatively diverse experience for attempting to consume 25,000 calories of commercially produced cupcakes, none of that seemed to matter once the cloying sweetness of the thick icing and cream filling kicked in.
Despite the inevitable trials and tribulations encountered along this completely deranged endeavor, our love for Hostess remains and we’ve lived to tell the tale. So, we hope you enjoy this week’s Takedown Tuesday food challenge and get a good laugh out of all our pain and suffering!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

FAQ’s:
Q: How do you not gain weight?
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training tossed in) and extreme discipline & sacrifice with our daily diets is how we manage not to gain weight. We eat mostly vegetables, fruits, some whole grains and low fat dairy on the days outside these challenges. The calories consumed in a food challenge are the only calories consumed that day and sometimes the day following as well seeing our appetites are typically shot from so much food and the thought of eating is very off putting. Two days out we are back to large amounts of vegetables and increase to maintenance from there. We also often eat most of our days calories in a smaller eating window (we frequently bounce between intermittent fasting & OMAD diet as it just seems to work with our lifestyles and eating preferences). Anyone with a larger than normal stomach capacity like us, the drive to push through the discomfort of a challenge like this, and a basic understanding of energy balance (calories in vs calories out) can do it with enough disciple and intention (not that we recommend it).
Also worth mentioning is that we do not exercise to burn the calories consumed in a challenge but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our love for endurance sports and said discipline with our daily diets.
Q: Can you make a “What I eat in a day” / fitness focused video?
A: While we’re sure that type of video will eventually make its way out there, we are only able to produce one piece of quality content with our current schedules. We’re still in the very early stages of establishing ourselves within the food challenge genre and we’re constantly experimenting & trying to improve upon our style to make our channel/challenges a unique experience. This channel in particular will most likely always primarily revolve around food challenges but, if this ever became a legitimate source of income and we were able to focus our full attention towards creating content, our goal would be to start a second channel to offer more of a look into that side of our lives. So, for now, food challenges are the name of the game.
