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...?

OP, I have crisp issues too.

Obviously its not sensible but it is funny so I say go for it. If you do die please let us know.

I still haven't looked a jelly baby in the eye

What crisps would you eat though? Surely there are so many different shapes and flavours you wouldn't be able to get sick of them all?

'Die from crisps'

Yes I will ask DH to update the thread.

I've thought of a problem.
I love wine (I've tried living on that for a week, definitely nearly died, definitely didn't put me off) would this then mean having to give up the wine during Crisp Week?

As long as I drank a fuck load of water before and after the wine I think that would
be ok?

Wine is a liquid so it doesnt count.

I would stick to regular flavoured crisps because I'm not fussed by all those fancy kettle chips and stuff.
They are nice but I don't want to go out and buy them and eat them and roll around in them like I do with 'regular' crisps.

Right, I'm buying a fuck load of crisps on Sunday and starting Crisp Diet on Monday.

I think you have to give up the wine or it might invalidate the results. It's crisps and water, don't back out now.

I'm now considering this for my mini cheddar obsession.

Do a pre and post weight, you might get a book out of this yet

Looking forward to the results. I can’t see it taking a week. Surely two or three days will do it. Although I too know the draw of a walkers 24 pack.
If you had squares you could have four packs for each meal and only be on 1200 cal days. So that's slimming. I might try it too...

That's a good question - will I gain or lose weight?

I will definitely be going over my calorie limit and my WW points that's for sure.
But it's worth it just to get over the crisp obsession.

Although I too know the draw of a walkers 24 pack. 😂

Oh I do love a square.

I also have a crisp addiction
I think I’d keep eating them after the week.

Crisps are my weak point too. I just cannot get enough of them. I've been doing low carb boot camp so haven't been having crisps for a while now and while my self control had surprised me I could still murder a few family packs in one sitting

This thread doesn't make me want crisps but it has made me extremely thirsty.

I also keep thinking about how well you would float after a week of crisps if you stay hydrated.

Do report back if you go for it.

Watching this developing experiment with interest.

Would water retention become an issue with so much salt and no fibre to push things out?

I imagine if all you could eat was 16 packets of crisps a day you would be very hungry.

I’ve just had McCoy’s ridge cut cheese and onion 25g pack from a multipack (only crisps left) and 16 of those equates to 2,128 cals. So you would be eating a lot of calories but would still be hungry.

So I could eat 16 of those before I reached my salt limit intake.
So perhaps I wouldn't die.

If the guy from supersize me could eat McDonalds for a month without keeling over I’m sure you will be fine if it’s just a week. When you have bought all your crisps please post a photo of your potato pile

Me too with Bacon Tuc

Posted too early!
Really interested to see how this works out for you!

Remember this woman?

I've often wondered where my 'cake limit' would be. I reckon I could do a week, easy.

You have to do this thing OP. We're all invested.

Not what you plan to do.
But as a student I went through a phase of eating a multipack 6 pack every day.

Still addicted to crisps.

Please keep us updated!

I can't have multipacks of crisps in the house as I give each DC one packet and they I scoff the rest of the packets in pretty much one sitting. So I'm curious to see how it goes.
