Fitness Coach's Tragic Death After Extreme Eating Challenge
A 30-year-old Russian fitness coach and influencer has died tragically after attempting an extreme binge-eating challenge meant to promote his upcoming weight-loss program. Dmitry Nuyanzin from Orenburg suffered cardiac arrest in his sleep after consuming up to 10,000 calories daily for weeks as part of his marketing strategy.
The Dangerous Weight Gain Experiment
Nuyanzin's challenge involved consuming massive amounts of food every day with the goal of gaining over 50 pounds, then publicly losing the weight to showcase his fitness program's effectiveness. According to reports, he had already packed on nearly 30 pounds in just one month when tragedy struck.
His daily meals were extremely heavy and included pastries, half a cake, nearly two pounds of dumplings with mayonnaise, constant snacking, and fast food for dinner. The fitness coach last updated his followers on November 18th, announcing he now weighed over 230 pounds.
Final Days and Health Warnings
The young coach began feeling unwell and canceled his training sessions, telling friends he planned to see a doctor. Sadly, he never made it to medical attention and died in his sleep after suffering cardiac arrest.
Before his passing, Nuyanzin had been actively promoting his upcoming fitness program and even promised cash rewards to followers who could lose 10% of their body weight by New Year. Tributes have poured in online, with many describing him as "an incredible person" and expressing shock at his sudden passing.
Health experts continue to warn that rapid weight gain puts intense strain on the heart, forcing it to work harder and pump against more resistance. This risk becomes even more dangerous when done in extreme bursts like Nuyanzin's challenge.
The tragic incident serves as a stark reminder that extreme dietary practices, whether for weight loss or weight gain, can have fatal consequences regardless of one's fitness level or age.
