How long can my roommate survive on this diet?

Question

My roommate does nothing but lay around all day. He doesn't even leave the apartment except to pick up a few things of egg nog and tomato soup and thats it.

He does no physical exercise and lives off eggnog and tomato soup. How bad can that be for you?

Answer 1

Sounds ok to me.

Answer 2

Eh, while that is a very unhealthy diet, from the standpoint of continuing to breath he may be getting enough nourishment from those two foods to avoid starvation.

He'll be horrifically overweight, have awful colesterol & be an overall model of poor health, but he'll likely still be on that couch and carrying a pulse this time next year even if he continues to do this.

Of course, the hundreds of reasons he shouldn't do this are somewhat obvious, but some people can't be saved from themselves.

Answer 3

HE WILL NOT SURVIVE VERY LONG. His body will shut down all functions that it can to keep his body alive, but there are limits, plus he is loosing brain cells, by the minute. You need to notify his family that he is killing himself.
· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

Also, a quick weight loss is usually a water loss and that loss will come back ASAP. You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)

AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and B-12 and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

He is not going to be getting the nutrients his body needs.. and most likely will become malnutritioned. Why is he doing that? I mean he needs protein and fruits and vegetables.. what a weirdo!
