The seven sins of greed and amazing diet plan and crack me up Peter Kay 🤣😂👍

[@mossy642]

If we look at the weekly calories, considering he doesn’t eat everything on the table, and the highly processed and calorie dense nature of the food, he could, if he ate exclusively for that day, and stopped when it became painful, take on 15-20 thousand calories, gaining around 4.5lbs if he doesn’t exercise at all, and is fully sedentary. He is in his late 50s, and seems to be at about the 325 mark in terms of weight, so we could say that his BMR is abt 3000 calories with minimal exercise, I.e walking from room to room. Burning approx 2950 6 days of the week would allow you to lose 5.05lbs a week. Taking away the weight gained on the single day, we can say that in the course of a week on the Brian Butterfield diet, Brian loses 0.45lbs, 1.8 in a month and just over 23lbs in a year (weeks and calendar months being independent of each other). Of course, for a normal person, with a BMR of abt 2000 calories, and a TDEE of 2500, you would gain 0.3lb a week.

[@pankajojha1438]

Bruh

[@rozb554]

yeah but it would be a binge-restrict eating disorder cycle

[@LTPottenger]

calorie counting is pure bs, your body ups your metabolism over time or turns it down based on how much you eat. And he'd never eat 20,000 calories unless he had a disorder. He would lose a ton of weight. But fasting that long you have to be careful what you eat when you do eat or you will drop dead. Basically little or no carbs. So this is pretty much a suicide diet as described since the other 6 days are basically fasting.

[@gunsarefun3502]
