We Tried Eating As Much Diet Junk Food As Possible **BAD IDEA**
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2023
- We set out to determine whether diet-friendly junk food alternatives are just as easy to overeat as their infamously indulgent counterparts.
With over 20,000 calories worth of sugar-free, Keto, high-protein, vegan versions of popular treats like Reese’s, Doritos and ice cream sandwiches, we began the food challenge that would later leave us questioning every decision we’ve ever made.
After consuming nearly 17 days worth of dietary fiber and enough sugar alcohols to plant a 350 pound gorilla on a toilet for 24 hours, we must plead with everyone watching to never attempt anything like this and to enjoy your diet treats in moderation as to avoid extreme discomfort!
With that being said, we hope you enjoy this week’s episode and whether you’re here looking for which Keto diet snacks are half decent per our review or just wanted to see us do the stupidest thing imaginable, please give the video a Like and Subscribe to our eating show!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

FAQ’s:
Most of your questions were probably answered in this video:
• The Longest Mukbang Ch...
Extremely insightful video into how it works:
• How Matt Stonie stays ...
Q: How do you not gain weight?
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training) and extreme discipline & sacrifice with our daily diets is how we manage not to gain weight. We eat mostly vegetables, fruits, some whole grains and low fat dairy on the days outside these videos. The calories consumed in a food challenge or mukbang are the only calories consumed that day and sometimes the day following as well seeing our appetites are typically shot from so much food and the thought of eating is very off-putting. Two days out we are back to large amounts of vegetables and increase to maintenance from there. We also often eat most of our days calories in a smaller eating window (we frequently bounce between intermittent fasting & OMAD diet as it just seems to work with our lifestyles and eating preferences). Anyone with a larger than normal stomach capacity like us, the drive to push through the discomfort of a challenge like this, and a basic understanding of energy balance (calories in vs calories out) can do it with enough disciple and intention (not that we recommend it).
Also worth mentioning is that we do not exercise to burn the calories consumed in a video but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our participation in endurance activities and said discipline with our daily diets.
Q: Can you make a “What I eat in a day” / fitness focused video?
A: While we’re sure that type of video will eventually make its way out there, this is not a health and fitness channel and we intend to primarily focus on indulgent food entertainment. We’re still in the very early stages of establishing ourselves within this genre and we’re constantly experimenting and trying to improve upon our style to make our channel a unique experience. Food is our passion while fitness is our discipline so, while we currently only have the availability to produce one quality piece of content a week, fun food-centered videos is where we’ll be focusing our attention (and trust us, it’s more fun for all of us this way). That’s not to say it will never happen, but it’s not a top priority for us.

as often as you guys say “we’re such a small channel” only having around 30k, idk if you really understand the quality of your content. i have no clue whats wrong with the youtube algorithm because the stuff you put out is worth millions of subscribers. you and erik are literally on the same level of amazing to me and you guys have impeccable humor too its insane. i really hope more people get to know you because they need to understand the pure excitement that rushes through me every time you post and the laughs when you put cream cheese and reeses on everything. never stop for as long as you possibly can!!
i will add that the smaller following is an upside for us because there are replies to our comments a lot more 😂
Please shut up loser
It's a small niche
RUclips is shit at reccomending good channels
Agree, I just now stumbled across this channel and wow! The editing is just as good as every other large RUclips channel. The quality is sublime!
OMG RIP! I've definitely overindulged on diet foods before, but I can't imagine how rough the next day was for you after eating THAT much 😅
Better than the real stuff
no lmao the real stuff atleast has sugar these have god knows how many paragraphs of chemicals and they still taste like shit @@benjaminpaz3526
Coach Greg is out there somewhere screaming “BUY MY FREAKIN’ COOK BOOK!” 👀
🤣🤣👨🍳
He's also about to start talking about how artificial sweeteners ruin people's lives... *sipping my diet soda*
@@andeatit2no coach Greg actually promotes low calorie sweetener alternatives. Not sure if you knew who he is but his cool book is basically full of sweets and delicious food that is low calorie high protein and high fiber
@@jasonyoung-lalumiere4828 I know who he is, I just got his stance on artificial sweetener wrong cause of this one video where he says it ruined his life. Sorry!
@@jasonyoung-lalumiere4828 loooves that diet pop! 🎉
This was my first time round your channel and I had to subscribe. I always get nervous about trying new foods and I feel like hearing two reviews of a product is really helpful. Thanks.
i love how sarcastic u two can be😂😂 also it’s embarrassing how excited i got when u two pulled out the magic spoon cereal bc i just felt like every1 was LYING abt how good it was, now ik they weren’t😭😂 great (but crazy) video! rip to ur insides lol
Happy New Year Pete and Nate! This video was great, loved the comparisons and stats which could be very helpful to those trying to diet, and kudos for the safety warnings just in case people aren't aware of the dangers 👏 Let us know as soon as you restart your patreon! Much love to you both ❤️❤️
Happy new year, Caroline! So glad you enjoyed it and appreciate all the feedback as always 😃
We definitely will :) Thanks for all your support!
Much love!
Diet or not you're always wholesome 🙂
Thanks for the love! 😃
Happy New Year 2023 Nate and Pete! Great video to kick off the new year! I love your channel! 😀
Lily's and the sugar free Nutella are the best!!! Thanks for another good one my friends, although it looked painful!! happy New Year!! Much love!
Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting guys, now we have a good idea of what to get when we have a urge for something somewhat good on those New Years resolutions. 😊 thanks and keep up the great work, Happy New Year!
Oh good lord. My stomach bubbled and churned just watching this.
Impressive performance after a break in challenges though.
If you can find it, the lilys filled caramel bar is certainly the best of them.
My thought is, if you cant have the real thing, these replacements arent going to fully scratch the itch most times. So you're probably better off going without.
A real banger to start the year with! Great job!
“Bubbled and churned” is the PERFECT way to describe it 😅 Not fun.
The lily’s caramel is definitely their best filled bar! Their caramel standard bar and baking chips are actually our favorite as well - they just do caramel pretty good!
The alternatives definitely don’t always scratch the itch which, while just being a ridiculous food challenge, hopefully offers insight into a few products worth trying as a replacement (like those quest birthday frosted cookies!)
So glad you enjoyed it and we appreciate the love!
1:47 I’ve seen this over 10 times now but I can’t just get over how synched you guys are eating that diet Oreo
Edit; they’re always in synch apparently
The regular core vanilla (26g) is MUCH better than the elite version - definitely suggest you give that a try sometime! Killed it as always guys, can’t wait to see what madness you think up for 2023!
Literally the best food chanel on RUclips!!!! Love you guys
Happy New Year, Pete and Nate‼︎
New Year's Day is a big event in Japan✨
One diet food is not enough, so I eat a lot😂
Happy new year guys!! Love the vids.
Happy new year, Michael 🎉
Appreciate the love and support!
this video was so funny, I loved it as always. I always enjoy your humor and honest opinions and how those two work together to produce such a hilarious and enjoyable video. I had a single bag of sugar free werthers original soft caramels not long ago and let me tell you. I was in the bathroom for hours that day 😂 TMI.. sorry. And that was off a single bag, I am PRAYING for you guys right now after that.
Oh there’s no such thing as TMI in this comment section 🤣 loving hearing other peoples aftermath experiences on their sugar-free adventures 😂 As you can probably imagine based off your situation, we’re never doing something like this again LOL!
So glad you enjoyed the video and we appreciate all the love, Jeremy!
Only a few minutes in but damn... that's a lot of fiber... RIP is right 😂 Another great video as usually but hopefully the recovery wasn't too rough! The texture is always what gets me on some of those foods so I'm grateful you guys mentioned that!
We’ll be real… the recovery was definitely too rough 😆
We got what we deserved…
So glad you enjoyed the video, Katey!
Much love!
RIP, thank you for your sacrifice!
another awesome video, thanks so much guys, oh and please keep us upated on the patreon! :)
So glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate the love, Hayley!
We’ll definitely be updating ya’ll SOON on that. Thank you so much for the support 🤗
As someone who’s currently doing keto and lost 60 pounds on it I loved this!
As always , your videos brings joy!! awesome videos guys!❤
Means the world to hear this! Thanks for the love 😃
i've never understood why they don't just split one thing or try a bite or two and instead each eat an entire product. doesn't that make everything way more expensive and also harder on their stomachs?
When Pete said "Oookay" and then you both start laughing was hilarious hahaha
With love like always, from Canada xx CATCH UP WORLD!!
I definitely enjoy seeing you guys ‘in a more true light’ 😂😋 Awesome video per usual guys, praying for your stomachs!! lol 😮💨🙏🏽
just like last year starting the year off with a crazy challenge😂 cant wait for whats to come this year!
The quality of this video is awesome!
First video of you guys I would never even think about trying... not a chance! great job tho, just awesome
Great video as always! I gotta say everything looked pretty good but those Quest birthday cake bites looked amazing! 👌🤌🏼
One of the few HIGHLY recommended products we tried in this one! So glad you enjoyed it!
Great content this week! Actually as always
Seriously appreciate the love!
You two are funny and genuine. I'd definitely be a Patreon member
It was fun and interesting to see and hear about the general confusion of healthy. Loved the comment about people talking about chemicals not being healthy but accepting and loving the sugarvideos😄 also being on Keto the confusion of clean or not clean was so much fun😄 That made me think of an interesting theme...Just an idea if you could use it. Many eats a lot of chemicals, bad fat as palm oil and corn oil and sugar hidden by other names. All the hidden bad "food"(don't know how to describe them all in english:). It could be fun with a video eating different items but instead of listing calories etc. than be listing all the bad stuff hidden in the food. Don't know if it is possible to make it work, but could sure be fun and interesting 😊
Lol, we’re so glad you found the video fun and some of those points quite entertaining!
We personally believe everything in moderation is okay and don’t prefer to demonize foods and categorize them as “good” or “bad”. There are loads of great channels out there who can help educate people on being aware of how to keep an eye out on what ingredients they put into their bodies but, again, just our opinion that everything is okay in reasonable doses 🙂
I forgot, you actually said that in the video as well, sorry for not remembering that. And yes their are many ways to find the information needed. It was more the fun part I was thinking of. The surprise of what is put into foods, and what we consume. But I get it. It would probably have to be done in an attitude of right or wrong in some way. 😊
R.I.P to your taste buds and gut Pete and Nate😫I can't imagine how awful you must have felt after this and I commend you both for going through it all 🤢 interesting way to start the year, but hopefully next week you'll treat yourselves BIG TIME and get all the goodies you deserve 😋Take care and rest up Takedown twins ❤
Awesome channel! I am also from Prov, RI! Love your content!
Just come in from work, got my breakfast and watching your videos what a great come down now relaxxx 😌😌
Missed the food challenges, What a nice surprise!
I love yours food challenge videos also, but I can imagine what's gonna happen after the challenges from story on IG🚽😅😂
Have an amazing new year💙
Happy new year 🎉
Lol yes, post-challenge was a gnarly time for sure. Luckily that was a while ago at this point 😅
Fantastic video guys! Well done Nate and Pete!
So glad you enjoyed it! Happy new year, Alison 🤗
@@TheTakedownTwins Happy new year Nate and Pete 🤗
i thought i was watching a channel with at least 1m subs lol, this is such good quality content.
Not the best product but the best content and creators!!! You both are awesome!!
I bet the Amazon reviews for Haribo sugar free gummy bears are very similar to what you actually experienced after this video.
R.I.P!! What a creative concept for a video! And I never heard of Catalina crunch before! Will look for them.
So broad you enjoyed, Alisa! Catalina Crunch seems to be known for their cereal options (we’ve never tried) but apparently do more as we found out shopping for this! 🙂
@@TheTakedownTwins I had been looking forward so much to a new video from you and this did not disappoint:) you guys are so much fun to watch. (and similarly I also have been disappointed with the small amount of quest potato chips in a bag). Happy new year! Thanks for making my Friday!
I am watching you guys for a week. I have one question. How do you guys eat all the things with such ease and passion? Love your content.
Love from Bangladesh.
I hope your Toilet has a seatbelt man that was probably rough one the next day... Awesome vid twins.
We were holding on for dear life, my friend. Bracing for impact nonstop for 24 hours 😅😅
Bit of a Devon vs Cornwall moment there with the spruced-up Quest "cookies" 😂
I use premier protein shakes to create my own. I add peanut butter powder, a bit of cocoa powder, and some ice and throw it all in a blender. I turn it into to something much better 😁
new subscriber here!!! love the content :)
The slim fast chocolate mint cups are so good!!
Lol @ the Magic Spoon part 😆
10/10 video. “Still not worth it, because I imagine that is the exact texture you’d get if you bit into a candle” 😂😂😂
Oh my giddy aunt! I hope you two didn't have to share a bathroom the next day! That must have been ROUGH. I hope you at least managed a couple of 'safe farts' during the aftermath LOL. Seriously, though, thank you for doing this vid in the new year because, like you said, some of us are trying to eat a little bit healthier after all the gluttony of the holidays, and so having options to try (in MODERATION ha ha!) is really useful. But, boy oh boys, that was going far and above the call of duty. I'd actually think massively overindulging on sugary full-fat goodness would be less uncomfortable afterwards than overindulging on sugar-free, synthetic sugar-alcohols, sweeteners and the like would. I sometimes think diet foods are worse, but in that quantity, they must be. Please look after yourselves. 2023 is going to be the year you hit it big on here. I can feel it in my water :) Stay safe. Love Keira
Haha, we are truly blessed to have two toilets in the apartment because one of us would have been using a bucket otherwise 🤣
We’re so glad you found the video somewhat helpful and we wish you nothing but success in finding the perfect balanced diet you can stick with this year 🙂 Some of these are definitely worth trying in MODERATION 😁😅
Thanks so much for the love and kind words, Keira!
Did you guys load up on the Xmas clearance candy? 50% off after the holidays in many stores. Xmas leftovers candy challenge? Love all your stuff!
We did not! But there will be plenty of Valentines candy to stock up on over the next month 😁
So glad you’re enjoying the channel, Johnny!
Who knew a pair of twins could have such good chemistry
I just found your channel, I am a runner so I have eaten diet junk food, but mine are mostly similar to the 90s like low fat frozen yogurt and low fat muffins : )
I’m having flashbacks to when the Olean potato chips debuted… eating a whole bag and then not being able to leave the bathroom for two days… that was about 20 years ago!!!!
Magic spoon is so expensive but is good, should be a part 2 video the aftermath of eating diet food! Lol great video
Definitely not bad! But quite the hefty price to dish out for “not bad” lol.
The aftermath video would be a 24 hour static shot of a bathroom door and not much else 😅 We’re better off without it.
So glad you enjoyed the video!
Good mythical morning vibes
I wouldn't wanna be The Takedown Twins' toilet after this video was done being recorded 💀
FYI "Sugar free" can mean maltodextrin combined with NNS (e.g. monk fruit or stevia extracted sugar alcohols, etc.), so....
RIP😵Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Underrated channel
In the first fifty seconds of the video what blew my mind is when they sped up the footage of eating the ice cream sandwiches they both took bites and finished at the same exact time 🤯
"it looks pretty loaded in the back" the best line 😂😂😂
I thought it was hilarious how you guys kept referring to the products as “diet foods” versus using the description of “reduced calorie”. 😁
I can look past the texture of Quest chips because they’re higher in fiber and protein than the Atkins chips.
i'd rather eat the regular in moderation too. most people who buy this stuff think its a sub for overreating the regular so they overeat the diet food defeating the point of buying it. if the chemicals in processed food is killing us, the diet food industry is pulling the trigger while the full fat versions are keeping us alive longer.
Lol, haven’t even started watching this yet but WHY would someone do this… the sugar alcohols will destroy your gut, even after a couple pieces. Prayers up for my guys.
Your gut, your tastebuds, your insulin resistance, your heart...
You guys should you take down the menu challenges
I love this channel
I love power crunch bars and premier protein shake RTD!!!
i am all too familiar w the high fiber/protein diet food stomach pains the next day or two😭😵💫🥴wishing y’all well!
Hola chicos 😘👋. Happy new year!! Que este año sea mejor para todos..... thankssss 😃😃😍😍🙏🙏
🤗🤗
Those Atkins chips are actually amazing, have a bag everyday!
Who doesn’t love when that thing is loaded in the back? Lmao! Wishing your tummies a speedy recovery!
As a guy who eats diet foods daily, this was very entertaining
Plot twist: they’re sitting on toilets. 😂 great vids!
how is this even possible like seriously how
RIP! Wow great video
MY TAKEDOWNER BUDDIES ARE CRAZY DUDES , LOVE YOUR VIDEOS , ONE THING FOR SURE YOU GUYS ARE NOT GOING TO NEED A PLUNGER AFTER THIS 😳😛😂😂
Haha, we appreciate the love, Jim! And you got that right 😂
That fibre intake 💀 RIP to you both and also to your toilet.
(Nice Video though, as always)
LOL! The combo of the fiber and sugar alcohols was every bit as bad as you’d assume 😅
Thanks for the love! Appreciate you 🙏
This may be the first video without a single high-five, for obvious reasons.
How much y’all eat on a typical non challenge day? 1000 or less?
Keep up the great work fellas 👏
I’m a twin also 😂
For the vast majority of people, what makes their diet/daily way of eating "healthy" or "unhealthy" is not necessarily what they eat, but how much they eat, by that I mean an energy/nutrient surplus resulting in the accretion of adipose tissue, which if accumulated to an excess is almost always deleterious for one's wellness in the long-term, resulting in many chronic, progressive disease states (e.g. metabolic syndrome, cancers, autoimmune disorders, musculoskeletal problems, sleep apnea, brain/psychological disorders, etc.). In all RCTs with human subjects, when controlling for important variables (e.g. calories equated and protein intake equated), the CICO matters more than whether someone is on some fad diet when it comes to body composition outcomes, especially. Excess adiposity (much as extreme lack of fat) drives many hormonal and cytokine changes in the body that are a problem for most people. Many people overeat foods simply because they are hyper-palatable and low-satiating, not that sugar or fat is uniquely independently fattening or addictive; it's simply so tasty/pleasurable that we are driven to overeat them. If a "diet" food is less tasty, that may help someone moderate intake. If one actually finds these "diet" foods to be hedonically rewarding such that one overconsumes them, it will be just as much of a problem as "normal" foods one tends to overconsume. There are some studies showing that higher fiber diets have many benefits, so at least these foods often have more of that going on. Obviously, the most affordable and best way to have a sufficient protein, fiber, and micronutrient intake is whole vegetables, fruit, meats, nuts, some dairy, etc., prepared simply by you so you know what's coming in. It won't be as delicious as "bliss point" designer foods and restaurant foods (they simply use the same combination of fat, sugar, salt, etc., to make their foods nummy as food factories do). Make your nutrient intake balanced with your needs, don't chronically overconsume, and you'll be good.
foods like these carry me bro swear
balancing the real thing into your diet is the way to go imo! all those lowkcal product just dont hit the spot for me haha
they are often ridiciously expensive too btw xD
I'd just like to agree. Sugar is definitely best in very moderate amounts but it isn't the devil. Artificial sweeteners however are increasingly looking really dodgy or at best just disconcerting. Hypersweet sugar dupes seem to taste wrong in some way, too and aren't fixing any issues with an over-sweet tooth...a little bit of natural for me, please. And I won't get started on low-fat; bye-bye fat-soluble vitamins👋. And low calorie being mistaken as synonymous with healthy...I f**king loathe diet culture.
Why are y’all biting the food at the exact same time 😂😂😂😭😭😭
Right 🤣
I had the Fruit Loops version of Magic Cereal's flavors. It... Was appalling. It had a nasty bitter taste and just didn't have a good mouth feel.
power crunch is so good
Now THIS is an anabolic challenge ;o)
ouch, this reminds me of the time i ate 5 boxes of quest bars in a sitting. not recommended, unless you really love them
We don’t think loving them makes those repercussions worth it 😅 ROUGH stuff
@@TheTakedownTwins yes indeed it was. And i am intolerant to dairy as well 🚽🚽
The best "protein crisp/chip" are Popcorners Flex BBQ-flavor
This will hurt ! R.I.P 😅 and much love to you ! 🤗
Oh it did 😂 much love right back to ya!
I love how you guys move in sync XD twinz
R. I. P boys. Great as ever.
R.I.P. 😂😂 I guess we won’t be seeing a new video for a while😅I hope you have more than one bathroom!!!!😮
I was waiting for you to say that the Atkins coconut bars tasted like soap! That was my thought when I tried them, really disliked them and magic spoon ughhh, hated it😂
Great job, i think i’ll try the birthday cake cookies! Keep up the good work! I think I could hear you guys farting from over here in Johnston LMAO😂😂 just kidding… see you next time👍🏻👍🏻
@33:44 😂😂 Did you total the fibre too? I'm hoping you guys are back to normal now...om!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Y'all are so dramatic. LOL!!
I don't eat sugar..... that's why I watch you so I get my sugar fix 🤣 but at the same time I also wouldn't pay stupid prices for alternative products 🤣 I make all my treats if I want any at all but I find it crazy how they can put such a high price on products like that. Your video gave me some more ideas though so thanks 🤭 great video as per 😊 good luck the next day haha 💩
Would it not have made more sense for one to do diet version and one normal and see how u felt individually?
You both have the *same* exact voice it’s crazy
I love me some Quest chips and for you to say Atkins is better..I must try them 😧
