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

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...?

Come to think of it, I did once have food poisoning for 3 days then only ate popchips for 4 days after as it was all I could face. Ready salted ones.

I took probiotics too though so no constipation.

I don't even like Crisps that much, but I'm tempted to try every time I read this thread.

Granted, I'm on medication for high blood pressure already, so that may be a complication...

Just sat down with a packet of Hunters Gourmet Jalapeno & instantly thought of this thread.

horrified to read that the experiment is on hold pending a second volunteer.

Also, OP - are you sure your pain is not heart related? Have you been checked out properly? This chest pain does not sound good, please have yourself checked out. x

I will volunteer... but after next week; Ocado is coming on Sunday.

I can't eat fatty foods but crisps sometimes overcome the knowledge that eating them will make me ill. DH has helpfully hidden the ones we have so I can't eat them.

I really miss crisps

Think you might be onto something OP. I worked at pizza hut as a student 15 years ago and haven't fancied pizza since. Not that there was anything wrong with it, just ate pizza on every shift for my tea!

I'm home alone for a week in August. Might do a Pringles week.
