I ate nothing but cheese for a week and it was horrible

Cheese is amazing! But is it amazing if it's the only thing you eat for an entire week? Answer: no.

This new editing approach to these "less content" week ons are amazing. I really thought I'd miss the daily uploads, but I actually really prefer this almost mockumentry approach to editng. Keep it up!

[@MikeJeavons]

Thank you!

[@jamesbamborough9140]

@@MikeJeavonsyeah, this is an elite KZbin video.

[@poeterritory]

Agreed. More engaging and easier to, um, digest.

[@soundscape26]

Yes, I wrote a similar comment. And I think this compact format will serve him better in terms of views and engagement.

[@stevenham1937]

Grilled Halloumi, Jarlsberg, Edam, cottage cheese, quark, smoked cheese, mozzarella, feta, Gouda etc etc most of those are mild cheeses with new textures and flavours. You went from 0-100 with the blue cheese instead.

[@dganet]

Sorry Mike, agree with @stevenham1937, I was screaming to myself at one point.... eat grilled halloumi as its texture is like steak.... quark is like yoghurt etc etc. Love the new editing, makes a much funnier watch x

[@mokarokas-1727]

Same, I was ASTONISHED that halloumi wasn't considered. There's a lot more diversity to cheese than demonstrated in this video, and it clearly wasn't hard-line for hard cheese anyway.

[@box_of_paperclips]

Yes! I'd have been absolutely smashing balls of mozzarella for the difference in texture.

[@harjoat]

Yeah I'm very surprised these cheeses weren't considered. They would have made this challenge far more enjoyable for him.

[@Shazia44]

Classic Mike move

[@maxproudlock7962]

Hi Mike, long term subscriber and despite the challenging and frustrating week of cheese just want to say I love this format of a week on. The narration gives you more chance to bring out your personality which is the main reason I subscribed all those years ago. All the best

[@Helios2737]

This editing style is fantastic, honestly prefer it to the regular Week On format, usually i end up skipping around the video to just see the meals, and sometimes for basil segments, but with these they keep my attention better

[@tableandchairs4]

Loving the new editing style! Super engaging, and lots of fun. Keep it up 😊

[@MikeJeavons]

Thanks so much!

[@soundscape26]

Enjoyed the editing on this new more compact format. You get more creative and makes for a much better viewing experience. Well done.

[@MikeJeavons]

Thanks!

[@kurtismuzio7436]

Loving the new format. Don't even give Edam there's no daily vids for a week on anymore. The editing is a Cracker barrel of laughs. Cheddar days ahead for the channel. I'll certainly brie back.

This deserves top comment for being so punny

While I was watching this I ended up going to the fridge and eating a chunk of parmesan in solidarity. Great video Mike, this format is great. Some laugh out loud moments, "eating cream cheese in a way thats not shameful" 😂

There's loads of cheeses you could have gotten for variety's sake instead of variations on cheddar. Mozzarella, Havarti, Danablu, Brie, Feta or Cottage Cheese to name a new. I can't believe you didn't have cottage cheese, simply for the fact that it's basically a meal in itself. But I suppose maybe you wanted to keep it Brit-centric.

[@justine8387]

Cottage cheese is an abomination

[@mgthestrange9098]

I used to take little tubs of cottage cheese in my packed lunch at school to just eat with a spoon and my pals would freak out saying it was minging and looked like sick. I loved it though.

[@tomkrawec]

@@mgthestrange9098Cottage cheese is great, and you can make low-carb pancakes with it.

[@slickmick1902]

The cheese with the wax round push on the sides near the top and the top pops off it will keep your cheese fresh for longer

[@Pandaemiation]

Do you think you could take the "week on cheese" and run with it a different way? I think it would have been nice to see you actualy enjoy this week of cheese! So having fondue, making cheese crackers, doing those weird little cheddar and pickle in the frying pan things, a charcuterie board, a baked camabert in puff pastry? all kinda stuff!

[@Terrelli9]

I’ve been watching this channel for many years and this is the first week on that genuinely alarms me. Glad you lived to tell about it! Unless Grace uploaded this in your honor… 😱

[@MikeJeavons]

I alarm myself sometimes

[@mgthestrange9098]

At least it didn’t end with Mike in a hospital bed with a doctor saying ‘good god man, what were you thinking about!?’.

[@chap1400]

Love the new style Mike! Been watching your channel for years and you definitely needed a bit of a refresh. Also cool to see a bit more of a narrative approach to the week ons. I'm looking forward to the next one 🙂 keep it up!

[@DurradonXylles]

"I hope nobody judges me if I pull out the vitamins, because I don't want to die." I'll be honest, Mike, I don't think any of us would've blamed you if you quit part of the way through the week, or at least cheat and justify bread or some other basic food to have with the cheese (almost like what you did making the parm crisps, honestly not a bad homemade snack by the looks of it). While these "week on" experiments are self-inflicted, you do record these for our benefit as well as your own, and this isn't the first time you scared us or gotten us immensely concerned. You are a human being, not a content dispensing bot, and as such you have your limits. If you think you can't bear going through an entire week, feel free to tap out, we'd understand.

[@carolineharry6605]

I’m watching this in bed. The temptation to walk to the fridge and get a chunk of cheese 🧀 is unbearable. 😂

[@alexmatthew4567]

Hey Mike! Really enjoyed this video (sorry i seem to enjoy when you suffer with different foods!) Loved the snappy edit and the story you showed during it. Been a fan for years and I appreciate the new approach! Keep up the good work, need to keep Basil used to his life of luxury ❤

[@wormspeaker]

Those home-made Parmesan crisps look pretty good. I'll have to make some myself.

Big respect for the dedication with this one lol unreal effort PS some suggestions for anyone wanting to play the Jeavons drinking game - drink every time: - Mike says he’s tired - Mike discusses his bowel movements in depth - Mike complains about saltiness - Mike pauses and smacks his lips - Mike wears a film/tv/game/theme park merch top - Mike wears a pale shirt that makes him look sickly - Gracie makes a guest appearance - finish your drink if Mike lost weight - IF YOU SEE BASIL DO A SHOT Love Cam n Em xox

Dietary studies have found for around 100 years that high-fat diets are better for weight loss than low-calorie diets. Also, reducing carbs is good for you.

I remember watching your "week on McDonald's" videos years ago, nice to see how your editing and all have developed since then, greetings from Germany!

[@JOBdOut]

Glad you figured out the crisps - surprised you didn't get bocconcini (Buffalo mozzarella) - you ate that on another week on not long ago as a snack and woulda given variety. Another option woulda been to microwave some cheese to change its texture and make it more..gummy

[@uutdiegodzilla3821]

I'd know a lot more sorts of cheese to bring more variety into this week, but I am not sure you'd like or even would have been able to buy them in the UK? How about cottage cheese, goat cheese, brie, or a cheese with fenugreek seeds, or mustard seeds, or sage, or cranberries in it? And how about feta, babybel or halloumi? (I know you like halloumi...) And then there's a range of cream cheeses: tomatoes and chilli, or horseradish, or herbs. Or the ones rolled in pineapple, or walnuts, or almonds. Or smoked cheese, like scamorza, or the Danish version with ham in it. Or simple mozzarella, or a nice, creamy burrata. You still would have had problems getting full and might have felt bad, but your tastebuds might have been much happier!

[@amagicallaura]

[@Josheroo]

@@uutdiegodzilla3821 yeah that was my assumption as well. The UK produces a crap ton of cheese with so much variety. Why I love our food history. It's one of the products that even the EU and US import. "Exports In 2021, United Kingdom exported $791M in Cheese, making it the 15th largest exporter of Cheese in the world. At the same year, Cheese was the 94th most exported product in United Kingdom." I have to admit that figure surprised me, nearly a billion dollars in cheese exports O.O

[@C-B-E]

Okay so this is gonna be long but worth it. I got a new cheese ive veen wanting to try and it was so delicious I ate like twice as much as I normally do. So I told my step sister (we were on the phone) "I could totally live off of cheese, or could I? I wonder what would happen if I only ate cheese for a full week. Some has to have made that video on KZbin right?" So I went down thus rabbit hole and here I am for this video. I'm fully devoted to the video so I told my SS I'd call back later. I immediately followed because I love videos like these; this video is very entertaining, it fuels my autism and I must see more now. After this video I'm definetly binging all similar videos!

[@AiamMaianaise]

I would not have the self control to maintain a food test thing like this, cause damnnn. Am a bit sad about the lack of cheese variety (though agree with your reaction to blue cheese, but to be fair thats on the high end scale of strange cheeses which most people ain't a fan of) But as someone else mentioned, theres a variety of great cheeses. Like those cheeses with fruit in them. I'm personally a feta and brie fan. But those flavoured cheeses like the roast one seemed so neat!

[@MrMetalpunx]

When you struggle to cut the cheese it is time to rethink your life.

[@dracofirex]

Entering ketosis would explain the mood, too! Withdrawal from sugars and carbs can make you feel all sorts of ways during the transitional period. I wonder how a carnivore diet would work!

Have to agree with many of the other folks here. I like the new condensed format much more, like you're telling the full story in one go.
