To eat nothing but crisps for a week? Would I die?

[DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou]

I bloody love crisps. I hate chocolate. Crisps are my Achilles heel.

Anyway, when I've over indulged in a particular food, I can't face them for a long time afterwards.
I didn't eat mince pies for 3 years once.
I still haven't looked a jelly baby in the eye since I was breast feeding ds2 and ate packets and packets of them.

I'm constantly sitting on my hands trying not to eat crisps.
For years I've been wondering whether I should just eat crisps and nothing else for a week and get over my blood obsession.

I can't eat 'as many as I want' as part of my normal diet because I would be eating way too many calories and I've got down to a good weight after having DS3.

Would I die from all the salt?

It's only a week so I think I wouldn't die from anything else.

I know it sounds ridiculous but it might just work...?

Delurking to say I’m eating my way through a ‘share bag’ of salt and vinegar crisps. crisps are the best snack.

I recently ate a whole family bag of Kettle Chips and I felt so ill afterwards that I haven’t had any crisps since.

Six packs of Square Crisps? What flavour? I am definitely following this thread as I too am a crispoholic.

Total respect for you op.

I honestly believe I could live on beef flavoured monster munch. I love the beef dust on them.

Remember the London riots? We did back to back shifts (police officer) and the team lived on chips during that time
My whole inside of my lips was one huge ulcer. I was convinced I had scurvy. My mate didn’t poo for a week.

Sorry but LOL.

@LarryGreysonsDoor - love it.

Tesco cheese and onion - yes! 100% better than walkers cheese and onion, people won't believe me but I've seen about 3 taste tests on TV programmes in past year or so and Tesco cheese and onion always come out on top...took them about 10 years to catch on to my findings 😁 but I'm glad they finally have and are trying to spread the word 😂

its a good job we got shopping from Tesco this week or I'd be craving now 😂

What a great experiment !
Good luck op

Be true to the crisp !

I totally get where you are coming from OP. No it won’t do you any harm, probably no good either though. Can you buy the kids crisps you don’t like? That’s what I do, I buy wotsits and quavers and bacon frazzled and mini cheddars etc. Ones that aren’t proper crisps and have no appeal.

It's also great when you go on holiday and have access to brands and flavours you cant get here.

UNEXPECTED HURDLE NUMBER 2!

And this is a biggy. An end game.

ds was being horrific last night. He woke every 30 minutes ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
Worse than it's been for a long time.

But during the tiny snippets of shitty sleep that he allowed me - I was being woken by the horrible digestion/chest pain.

I cannot cope with DS awaking and being woken by a second thing.

I'm so tired this morning I want to use the crisps as punch bags.

But I'm sorry all that followed, this is where the experiment ends.
In hindsight my digestion probably wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't started the diet the night after a massive dominos pizza. I think that wasn't my downfall of falling so early on.

I lost 4lb of water though. I was 10stone 8 yesterday and this morning I'm 10stone 4lb.

Sorry it was such a quick failure but really I think we should place all blame on 6 month DS.

I. am. gutted.

We need another volunteer.

Is there anyone brave enough to put there hand up?

Well done.

Go ahead and try it. It might not even take a week to be completely sick of them.

Well I can't do it, I'm calorie counting as it is (and also have memories of a week in Spain with a six-year-old who was a fussy eater and ended up living off patatas bravas and crisps, and leaked oily poo into his underpants as a result) (I didn't mention that earlier did I )

We definitely need a volunteer.

I'm sorry to have let everyone down.

I think it would have worked had it not been for the chest pains.

Talking of poo though - it didn't make me constipated in the least.

Oh no sorry to hear that . I think I mentioned earlier in thread the heartburn would kill me with this . I would have needed a box of gaviscon .

Has it put you off crisps though ?
Well done on weight loss though

No, you wouldn’t die but it’s not advisable. I don’t buy crisps anymore because if they’re in the house, I’ll easily eat three or four bags in a row.

Are you going to get the pain checked out?
Hi Doctor. I ate 7 bags of crisps and nothing else yesterday and now i have a pain!
Seriously, maybe get checked out

You didn't keep at it long enough for constipation OP. Or maybe you drank enough water for it not to matter? Suspect my son wasn't drinking enough when we were in Spain actually.

Oooh nooooooooooo how disappointing!

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm not a fan of crisps else I'd volunteer to take over.

I wish I could volunteer oh how I wish I could...drool but I don't fancy putting on 3 stone in a week 😂 followed by a steady stone every following week as my habit becomes out of control 🤣🤣

It wasn't what you were hoping for but maybe it will still help 🤔 could you give it another day (getting chest pain checked whether you do or don't) as two hellish nights would work better than just getting bored? Purely for you, not in the interest of the thread
