A man who ate nothing but eggs for five days has revealed the surprising effect that it had on his body.
Joshua Allard, 25, from Oklahoma City, challenged himself to consume 150 eggs – 30 a day – as part of an extreme diet experiment.
The content maker, known online for promoting so-called ‘Lookmaxxing’ techniques that were designed to improve the physical appearance, documented the process in a YouTube video placed on June 16.
Allard bought a box of 15 dozen large eggs for $ 36.45 from the American warehouse chain Sam’s Club and described it as a ‘murderous deal’.
He ate five meals a day, each consisting of about half a dozen eggs, without other food or supplements.
Towards the end of the five-day challenge, he said that he had become ‘very, very slim’ and shared photos that shock his dramatically closed physique-a lot of viewers stunned.
In the comments, one fan wrote: “Amazing video Josh”, while the other joked: “I want me to see a whole cow eat in a week.”
Thinking about the experience, Allard said: ‘Well, first, I survived. I didn’t died. Thank goodness for that. I became very, very skinny. I didn’t take a creatine during this time. I wasn’t really supplemented or something. ‘

“I have not even supplemented vitamin D3 plus K, which is usually one of my favorite supplements – strictly egg,” he said.
Despite how debilitating the diet could sound, Allard claimed that he actually had trouble limiting himself to eating 30 eggs a day.
“It almost became addictive. It’s crazy, “he added.
He speculated that the intense craving for the ‘fairly significant’ calorie shortage he was.
Given the high fat content of eggs, he was not convinced that this was the full explanation.
Descriptively the mental effects, Allard compared itself with a bear prepared for hibernation, comparing his egg-heavy diet with a carnivore: “Very fat, moderate in proteins and not carbohydrates.”
“It turns out that my body prepared to go into hibernation,” he joked. “That is actually how I felt – very, very tired at night.
“I slept amazingly. My stress levels were a lot, gone, gone down. And my body became extremely lean in a matter of five days. ‘
The Content -Maker shared the results on his body after the challenge that surprised viewers surprised
Although he no longer eats 30 eggs a day, he said: ‘I eat a lot of eggs. I still like eggs. They are a superfood.
He praised the eggs for their healthy fats that ‘are great for your hormones’, the high protein content and amino acids.
High protein food helps your body to build and repair tissues such as muscles, bones, skin and hair.
In the meantime, eating foods that contain amino acids helps the body to build up muscles and break down food, as well as stimulating the immune system.
‘They are one of the best nutrients there are. So it’s something I would definitely recommend, “he said.
Nevertheless, he does not recommend others to eat 30 eggs a day – but rather six in the morning and four in the morning to give you energy.
The biggest problem about the challenge, he did not share a natural source of creatine that provides energy to your muscles and promotes brain health.
So he recommends also eating fish and red meat that are rich in creatine, and if you are not a carnivore, fruit such as strawberries and vegetables such as sweet potatoes.
Professor Tom Sanders, a food and nutrition specialist at King’s College London, explained what the huge number of eggs would probably have given the content maker
Professor Tom Sanders, a food and nutrition specialist at King’s College London, said MailOnline: “The eggs would offer about 2000 calories, 195 g protein, 135 g fat, of which about 35 g saturated fat, and it would also offer about 10 g of cholesterol.”
For most people, consuming cholesterol -rich food is harmless.
However, consuming excessive quantities can be risky – especially for people with certain genetic variants.
“It can lead to ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol increasing in blood,” he said.
High LDL cholesterol is considered an important risk act for heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.
Allard added: ‘Boys don’t forget to chew on the eggshells for calcium. Just kidding. If you want, you can watch a video that I made about it. ‘
That video followed a Tiktok clip, which has collected more than 600,000 views, from which he showed that he was eating ground eggs -something that he called a ‘forbidden bone mass supplement’ because of their calcium content.
The commentary part was quickly filled with viewers who question the safety of the stunt, in particular around the risk of Salmonella.
Others claimed that they had experienced side effects after they had tried it themselves, although it was unclear whether this was before or after seeing the video.
“I tried that and then I had diarrhea,” wrote a viewer. Another claimed: ‘I tried. Unfortunately I received (a) kidney stone after a week that I had done it. ‘
In response, another user replied: “You can’t get them so quickly”, a comment that Allard liked.
To clarify, Professor Sanders said: “About the issue of kidney stones – a day of 1000 mg calcium would have no effect on kidney stones.”
