THE CHUBBY KID DIET CHALLENGE! | Eating Everything We Ate As “Fat Kids” | 28,000 Calories

For this week’s Takedown, we took a trip down memory lane and devised an entire food challenge featuring a variety of items we ate in great quantities and frequency as a couple chubby kids! While attempting to eat 28,000 calories in a single sitting may not have been a practice of ours as the little chubsters we were, these appetites have been roaring since the very beginning and, much like our younger selves, we did not hold back when diving into these nostalgic foods. Obviously managing our total weekly energy as adults who perform crazy food stunts on a regular basis requires a significant amount of intention and discipline, nothing was quite as fun as reliving our childhood through the foods that kept us going long enough to become the two idiots we are today! We hope y’all enjoy this week’s video and we’ll catch ya again in the next one.
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.

Okay, so it seems that we need to address the fact that this is supposed to be a bit of an over the top, absurd representation of our childhood and not meant to be taken SO seriously. Although all the foods on this menu ARE true to being diet staples of our younger years, many of our meals were homemade (as mentioned a few times in the video) and there were nutritious elements incorporated like apples, bananas, oranges, carrots etc. on the day to day, as well as some healthier homemade dishes that would not have been conducive to trying to tackle in a 28,000 calorie challenge lol. Anyways, we clearly learned how to eat nutritiously and take care of ourselves at some point, and those lessons were taught to us by our parents and healthier habits were encouraged as we all grew older and more educated together. We all evolve and grow as people, and what may have been a “less than ideal diet” was our parents doing their absolute best. So no hate against the way we were raised please 🙏 Much love!

[@ElWanders]

lol, I got that. You guys look healthy and happy now, so I guess your parents must’ve given you a good start. Super active myself, and my teammates and I sure have some crazy meals sometimes 😅

[@deecohen1383]

When I think about some of the stuff that I had when I was younger and how it evolves as I got older mostly because my mother started to cook healthier and shop healthier and wouldn’t let us have a junkie stuff even when we were little kids it was very rare if there was a junkie cereal in our house I mean she was a working mom so yeah we had frozen food and tuna noodle casserole and stuff like that when we were super young but the kitchen got healthier and healthier as we got older too and then I just took it next level myself and went vegetarian and started running. I’d be interested in some story times about your running and racing

[@claire778]

Seriously? Some (too many) people🙄

[@jasminejames5272]

Yea shout out to parents doing their best!

[@alisachamoy225]

So sweet of you to dedicate this video to your mother. I work so hard to keep my son fed - it's a neverending battle lol.

[@hikingismytherapy]

Life Cereal....as soon as you started on that I could taste it. Such a childhood favorite.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

INSTANTLY transported us back to our childhood! That’s gotta be one of the top items here in terms of nostalgia

[@123Rockchild]

Awwwwwww….the final ending with Nathan coming back to the table all by himself to finish the rest of his bowl is both sweet and funny at the same time. You two are SO DEDICATED. We appreciate your devotion.

Side note: do NOT watch this on an empty stomach

NEVER a good idea to watch hungry 😁

Thank you for the shout out to all the parents trying to feed their kids, especially during this pandemic. ❤️

[@TheTakedownTwins]

🙏🙏 the appreciation is REAL for all the parents out there doing their best to keep their kids happy and healthy. HEROS 🙌

[@maeleedevries1811]

This is great guys! I appreciate all the stories and childhood memories! Also, do what you love! Keep doing the food challenges and keep the creative juices flowing! Thanks guys! 😊

[@TheTakedownTwins]

🙏🙏 SERIOUSLY appreciate the love and encouragement there 💙 People often don’t look at things through the creators/artist’s eyes, so the understanding and support there means a lot 😎 Much love!

[@AnywhereGoes]

As much as I miss the synchronized eating, really liking the commentary and getting to know you two! Also, loved the secret scene at the end haha

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Well, we technically are still eating in sync in this vid (taking all the bites at the same time) but just not being very dramatic with it like we used to 😁😁 Really glad you’re enjoying the commentary and other additions to the vids though!! Thanks so much for the love 😃🤘

[@sammanqueros8654]

I had the open face fluffer butter sandwich as a part of my cheat day today, and it was absolutely incredible! I didn’t realize that you all were chefs as well as doing eating challenges😂awesome video!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

YESSS!! So stoked someone actually tried it and experienced it in all its glory 😆😆 Happy cheat day, Sam! Stoked you enjoyed the vid and the open face fluffernutter 😁🤘

[@anac.j.martinez379]

Those intros and commentaries through out the videos are becoming epic fellas! 🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love many of the items on that table,i used to eat the cheddar cheese ruffles s/c with actual sour cream and tapatio hot sauce! 🤤😁 That Life cereal one of my favorites even now 😋 But i must admit i’ve never had a fluffernutter anything 🙈🥺 and i’m 38 years old lol 😅 You definitely made me salivate on that french toast combo,will definitely have to try it. In my opinion another great takedown challenge fellas! 🤗🥰😉

So happy you’re enjoying the videos, Ana! Those are all such excellent options right there 😁 Definitely have to try the fluffernutter and let us know what you think! Honestly, such a banger 🔥 Much love!

[@christinadavis3174]

Always look forward to Tuesdays for the Takedown! Even though it took me a week to finally watch, it was well worth the wait! I love a good fluffer nutter too. Glad to see those made it to the table 😋

While we still can’t count it as a ‘win’ it seemed like a strong move 😆😁 So stoked you look forward to the vids and can’t wait to have it out for ya! 🤘🤘

[@thectk1000]

Oh man. Nothing like nostalgia. Amazing effort. You got thrown some curveballs in this one. I notice it's all about the types of food you bring. Like with your 300000 in 30 minutes, you had a lot of easy to swallow, extremely calorie dense things. Here there were more filling things. And I caught you at the end! Lol. Had to finish what you started huh? Can't wait for next week!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Definitely nothing like nostalgia - especially when things live up to the memories! 😃😃 Yeah, it’s definitely all about the types of foods! The 30k in 30 min we were very strategic in terms of weight, volume, and easier to swallow items for the calories where as this had plenty of bready foods and just generally more filling! Even our Cheesecake Factory Challenge had a more “even” ratio to carbs and fat than something like this being extremely carb heavy. Anyways! So glad you’re enjoying the videos and look forward to them! Much love to you! 🤘🤘

[@xzerorin]

This was such a sweet video! 😊✨ I could actually feel your nostalgia through the screen! Looks like this was a super fun video to film for you guys and it was lovely to watch. Those chocolate eclair pies reminded me of a pastry I loved as a kid and now I'm seriously craving some! 🤤 And double thumbs up for the very end 👍👍

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed it! It really was a whole lot of fun for us 😁 we’ll definitely be remembering this one for a while and will have to do a “childhood favorites” at some point in which those eclair pies will certainly be making an appearance in! Might somehow have even more fun with that one 😆😆 Also stoked to hear you enjoyed that ending lol! We know few people will actually catch it, but you’re a real one for it 😎🤘 Much love!

[@xzerorin]

​@@TheTakedownTwins YES, I'm all for more of the childhood favorites! When you two are having fun, we are having fun 😊 It would be amusing to watch you make another monstrosity with those pies. Maybe an "epic sandwich"! 🤭

[@TheTakedownTwins]

😃😃 stoked to hear that, John! They certainly have grown a bit in length, but that’s what we get for bringing more food AND talking a bit more than we used to 😆 we refuse to do camera cuts, so whatever happens in the moment gets put out whether it works out to be 20 minutes or 40 lol! Much love and appreciation for ya, John! You rule 😎🤘

I always look forward to watching your videos once i get home from a long day at work. I love your positivity. What made you guys want to start being eaters like this??? Love you guys cant wait till you reach 30K subs yall deserve it!!!!! Much love from Tennessee

[@TheTakedownTwins]

🤩 SO glad we give you something to look forward to! Thank you so much for the sincere comment and support 🙏 You’re the best! And to answer your question, we just started doing some cheat days and making cheat meal videos for fun and eventually decided to start testing ourselves because we knew we could eat a lot more than the average joe. Eventually we got obsessed with becoming better at it and here we are still working on that very thing every week and seeing where it takes us 😆 This channel is a fun way of us documenting the process and giving us a creative outlet at the same time 😎 Much love!

[@laloc7332]

what a fun video! it would be cool if you guys could do a video explaining your fitness journeys. how your lifestyles changed from growing up, when and how you discovered fitness, what kind of sports you do, how your diets changed over time, if you ever had struggled with disordered eating, etc. also, on a side note: feeding kids a diet full of junk food (even with well intentions) is extremely harmful and can set them up for a lifetime of diseases. it's very important that parents teach their kids a healthy lifestyle early on, with mainly healthy food, occasional treats and lots of activity.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks for the love! Have talked A LOT about being runners, our journey with finding running after high school as a way of staying fit, falling in love with it, having done many marathons now and even a 50mile ultra, our diet changes (being unhealthy, implementing better decisions over time, then becoming vegans and insane health nuts, then loosening up and becoming vegetarians, and now approaching our diets as really healthy and vegetarian 6 days a week and one day of pure insanity where we do our challenges) and orthorexia in many pieces of content and throughout various videos... So we’ve kinda already done those things and will continue to tell stories and mention them within many commentaries over time we’re sure. Additionally, on the topic of your side note, maybe we should have mentioned (hard to fit everything or remember to in one video) that our parents taught us to implement healthier decisions and make smarter choices as they learned themselves. Growing up in households and school systems that didn’t teach the importance of making healthy choices, they were simply a product of their environments. We clearly know A LOT about health and fitness now, and that can be attributed in part to the healthy decisions they helped us learn as we all grew older. So no hate 🙏🙏 They did their best and kept us healthy, growing, learning, and changing as we all got older, wiser and more educated together. This video is also obviously an excessive and over the top version of things that isn’t intended to be taken so seriously 🙏

Hi Peter and Nathan! You two are awesome! I love what you do! Great combination of foods! Y’all look like you always have a good time which makes me wish I could eat with you guys! Much love from me to you two!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

😃😃 Thank you so much for the kind words, Alison!! We sure do have a good time but it certainly does get tough at some point! While eating together would be loads of fun, we would never want you to feel the way we do by the end 😆😆 Thanks for the comment and the love! YOU’RE awesome 💙

Another entertaining video guys, never fails to get me excited for a bit of weekend indulging! Might skip the bowl of PB, fluff and chocolate though! Much love from Australia 🙏

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks for the love! Stoked you enjoyed it 😃 Haha! Sounds good! more for us 😆 Highly recommended to any of our PB/sweets lovers though 😁 those ingredients sing quite harmoniously and would be thoroughly enjoyed paired together if we hadn’t eaten like 12k calories prior hahah! It’s like tossing some m&m’s onto a fluffernutter! So good 😁 going back to finish it at the very of the vid there was pretty epic. Much love!

Im from new England the fluffernutter was sold down the beach loved it in the summer they grilled it too!

This channel needs to grow big! The editing, the food challenges and just their overall vibe. Now food challenges can hard to break big on KZbin as there are so many challenges but they chose a unique niche in the area. The editing and display is pro and don't look for drama for views. Lets get these channels with not as many subscribers up where they belong. Btw kids eating that kind of diet, eww parents come on!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Dang!! Thanks SO much for the love! Stoked you’re enjoying the videos enough to believe the channel deserves such recognition 🤩🙏 As for the diets, our parents taught us to implement healthier decisions and make smarter choices as they learned themselves. Growing up in households and school systems that didn’t teach the importance of making healthy choices, they were simply a product of their environments. We clearly know A LOT about health and fitness now, and that can be attributed in part to the healthy decisions they helped us learn as we all grew older. So no hate 🙏🙏 This video is also obviously an excessive, over the top version of things 😁 Much love

[@TheCazTrick]

@@TheTakedownTwins Ha don't worry they look very healthy. The bodies more resilient than most people think, however yeah can't eat like this every meal. It is times you can see that on mukbangers and food challenge eaters are in tip top shape. Plus some people genetically Blessed. Never ever will hate, not everyone can do these types of eating without being healthy outside, knowledgeable or bodies can tolerate no matter how much fitness and health. Love the channel and the style is one of my favorites atm and no doubt is gonna grow quickly. Lets get that algorithm going strong. Also they look so alike but with a few touches of their own unique style. Still love them to dress the same, look exactly same (probably need beanies), even and fool everyone! ha If they didn't have their own styles they would be hard to guess, although I noticed slight different tones in their voices.

[@TheCazTrick]

I will continue to support. At the beginning its hard to break the views in KZbin, once they do they will rise hard.

[@LadyViki6]

Meatball sandwich are so good! I think I'm going to have make them this weekend. Haven't had them in a long while. ☺ Life cereal....my favorite as a kid. Marshmallow fluff! I'm from Enfield, Connecticut so yup, marshmallow fluff was a staple in my house. YUM!🤤🥰 Great video guys!! Love it! 2000 likes! Yay! PIZZA! LOL

Congrats on getting 5 stars Pete 😂 you are high quality 😂. As a kid we had McDonald's or Quick as they were the only fast foods and i had pizzas and pastas there were my faves. I ate a looooot of pasta and lots of baguette with butter for breakfast in the weekends . Now i don't eat them a lot because of anorexia since 2010. Anyways solid video so far keeping the rest for later as usual. Much love friends 😘😘.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

😆😆 Baguettes are our mother’s fav, but we always enjoyed the softer breads a bit more 😁 Hope you’re able to enjoy them again with complete abandon someday if that’s a desire of yours 🙏 we understand that overcoming food fears is definitely no easy task, but it IS possible to get there 💙 we indulge harder than everyone and make it work 😎 Much love to you!

Loved it! Even tho I didn't know most of the items you had, because we don't have them here in Germany -.- Even tho my mom cooked fairly healthy, I still got a little chubby as a kid. But now thanks to a healthy diet, I can maintain a good physique. And I am still working on it to reach my goal.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Stoked you enjoyed it! Haha yeah, the best part about being someone who grew up like that is that it does teach a lot of disciple and encourages you to learn healthy habits 🙏 We don’t have any physique goals (obviously 😆) but love our active, healthy lifestyles 😎 best of luck reaching your goals! Much love!
