In 2022, I ate nothing but Taco Bell for 30 days straight to see if I could actually become healthier while doing it. A year later, I'm taking a look back at the experiment, sharing some never-before-seen footage, and talking about my journey as a content creator.

Hey Sam, you should make a video of some of your favorite custom concoctions at at taco bell. my local TB probably hates me because of some of the wild things i order at the kiosk. it is fun though. the menu gets a little boring.
I’m glad the redditors didn’t get you down Sam! That video is how I (and many others) found your channel. I was astounded by your attention to the details - especially around your health metrics and Taco Bell’s nutrition stats. It really shows how dedicated to your craft you are. Keep it up!
( ps excited to see where you end up getting wings in Alabama and how the south ranks overall)
Literally just found his channel today because of this video. All the people accusing him of copying because someone else already did it seem to not understand science. Usually even if you complete one experiment you still need to retest that experiment multiple time to see if it works again.
I teach high school health and this video has earned its place in my curriculum! It is factually accurate, encourages a healthy relationship with food, and is entertaining! 10/10 my favorite video I show in class.
One of the biggest things I took from the Taco Bell video was Katie’s interview. Particularly something she said about having a healthy relationship with food. It is the best advice I tell people who want to start a diet and exercise.
Katie's the best!
IMHO your entire 30 days was 1000% better than Morgan’s. Sorry, not sorry. You put in so much work, made every effort to make it all transparent… your series should have been the movie, not his. You killed this, bro!!!
Thanks for saying that!
Well unfortunately Spurlock fabricated a lot of his info and lied about his health history to sensationalize his doc. Sam was honest about his process.
Also he's not a lying alcoholic unlike Morgan
@@chavaspadarip
Anytime sam posts I drop everything and watch. My baby does not like this.
I do the same thing. Don’t worry about the baby, they usually forget after enough drops
😂
I dropped the bomb I was holding unfortunately, my legs are gone but hey it’s worth it for a Sam video 😂
😂
Huh?
That Taco Bell video was the reason I subbed. Gotta admire a humble youtuber like Sam. I love how you showed the video to your friends first before releasing straight online. Shows you have great priorities. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Dude I started with that taco bell video and since then have loved all of your content. You are one of the most wholesome and genuine creators out there and I look forward to whatever it is you put out! Cant wait to see the wings location for Georgia!
sam, you're definitely one of my favorite content creators out right now!! Your positivity, transparency, work ethic and creativity when it comes to videos (not to mention how good your technical editing and storytelling ability is) is amazing. Can't wait to see what you have coming up :)
You are so resilient! funny how some would consider a silly journey, having so much history and learning behind it, and you of course tell your story so well! Love your videos and will be here for awhile☺️
That's so kind of you to say! Thanks for being here
Your meticulous work with the details really show in the final product. It was a very well put together video to watch.
Hands down, favorite content creator. Always a good day when you post a new video!
I am so impressed by the work that was put into the challenge! And it wasn't even monetized! It was really cool to see how the experiment turned out and to see all of the behind the scenes stuff! Its always a fun time watching your videos :)
can't believe it's been a year, still love your content
another great video Sam! I enjoyed the behind the scenes takes! Glad you didn’t let the podcast putting you down, keep you down! Keep going man! Love you and the channel!
It’s funny after those 🤬 said stuff about his kick starter look at him now. Has way more subscribers than them and is still popping off now. Proud of you man congrats 🎉 also you got a new sub
Keep making great videos man! I love the concept and how you actually enjoy making art. One of my favorite channels.
Dude, your channel is great. You're gonna blow up soon.
Also love the difference between the typical "suit videos" and this more laid back video. More of these!
Not only was this compelling, but it was beautifully done. Thank you, Sam. Your steadfast dedication is a breath of fresh air, and the honesty you envelop each upload with truly can’t be ignored. I am excited to see what you do next, and can proudly say I’m eager to experience it. Sincerely, you’re unique. Keep up the exemplary work!
i love how real your are!! and your dedication to youtube is also amazing i will continue to support you i love your vids!!
Thanks for the deep dive Sam, and thanks for making the video in the first place which allowed so many of us to discover your wonderful content.
The original video got recommended to me as I was JUST getting into the gym seriously for the first time in my adult life last year. It weirdly motivated me to take my health more seriously and also really entertained me (enough to sit and watch THIS whole video now and really appreciate it). Glad I found your channel man!
That's awesome - appreciate you sharing that!
Keep it up Sam, you have great content. I’m sure that 100k award isn’t far away.
Watching you grow from 1k subs to almost 75k is both amazing and inspirational!!! We have been growing from 100 to 600 and it’s a rush. I can only imagine what’s going on for you! Good luck Sam Reid!!
That's amazing. I was in the same spot a couple years ago - rooting you on!
Sam is the goat, got me feeling inspired man!
Keep killing it!!
Dude I love you and I love your channel. Just wanna say that watching your videos just brings me this unexplainable joy. Keep doing what you’re doing; I, and I know many others, really appreciate you!❤
I’m getting sucked into your videos, you’re a really naturally likable dude and someone you just want to root for. I really liked the doc
stuck at home with covid constantly refreshing my yt homepage for something to watch.
thanks sam :) this'll eat up a good hour of my day
@@xploration1437why
@@xploration1437 I already did last night, thanks for the advice though!
@@xploration1437 sorry to hear that! Hope everything got better for ya!
Thanks for watching - I hope you feel better!
@@therealsamreid on the upswing, great video loved the behind the scenes of the movie magic!
Keep grinding fam we got this 100k is right around the corner 🎉 keep pumpin that content out and we get it ez gg
Loved the behind the scenes content, awesome video as always bro
That Taco Bell video is how I found you (or you found me) and you immediately became one of my favorite creators! I hope your channel continues to grow 🚀
Dude thank you for making such awesome content. I always watch your channel when I’m on the elliptical and it really helps pass the time 😅 That Taco Bell vid is how I found you and subbed! I’m glad that it went viral and the underdog beat the odds against that vitriolic podcast. Bravo! 🎉
Another great video, Sam! Thanks for continuing to share with us
Sam, stubbled across your channel through the TB doc and have watched most videos since. Love the content and keep going man!
When I stumbled across the video the quality of the content has been unparalleled I honestly couldn’t believe this style of content created by you comes from an under 500k subscriber count channel, only a matter of time before you hit that milestone! Keep up the work 💪🏻
It is interesting to me that you bring up the video being a form of art for you because when I initially watched it it felt like art and not just that it felt like something you were truly passionate about. I feel that a lot of videos on this platform are made simply to be mindlessly consumed with very little passion and while I do enjoy that the passion you put into your tacobell video took me by surprise and is ultimately what led to me subscribing.
I cannot believe you did the Rhett and Link song…great call not including it in the actual documentary, but such a nostalgia moment for this behind the scenes video
I was skeptical at first when i heard of this experiment but I was blown away by your approach and results. You are the real deal, Sam.
I love your videos. You are criminally underrated
Legit I think the Taco Bell or your fast food videos is how I found you. And I think you can have a similar idea but it’s what you do and take with it that really matters.
Also it’s nice how they were proven wrong; it didn’t suck, it actually succeeded :)
Absolutely love your work Sam 👍
I love you so much bro! This will forever be ICONIC!!
I remember finding your channel right before the Taco Bell video, and (people say this all the time) but you were truly a diamond in the rough RUclipsr. High quality, lower sub count. I think some people don’t watch channels based on perceived quality and subscribers is one point to that.
I appreciate you saying that!!
Sam is a revolutionary!!! Keep up the great work!
Love your tribute to Rhett and Link’s song 🔥🔥🔥 It’s fire!
whys this guy not at 100k yet? Found ur channel below 10k subs soon after ur taco bell video. No doubt in my mind you will surpass well beyond 1 million subs one day.
I remember finding your channel from the Taco Bell video and I love your stuff!! I watching it all. Signed, a JMU Duke
Go Dukes!!!
underrated channel, great video
dude i watched your 30 day challenge a year ago but i loved this videos more your a good content creator *sub*
I respect you so much. Thank you for everything you do.
absolutely love this!
Goated channel. You will be over 100k shortly man
I hope so! Thanks for saying that
I loved the original Taco Bell documentary, and I love this too. Thanks for the fun behind the scenes stuff. You truly are Virginia's creator on the rise! Lol
Proud of you sam!
Baja blast hockey jersey is 🔥
This channel is so underrated ngl
Sam your videos are so awesome, keep it up!
Thank you!
Amazing work! You’re so methodical about how you thought about this project, thinking about the potential impact the video would have. Love the behind the scenes!
Well done Sam! Well done!
Keep doing great work!
YOURE AWESOME SAM
Dang, I've listened to Your Kickstarter Sucks a few times and found it funny. I'm sorry to hear of your negative experience with that. Anyway, great video. Felt like one of those DVD extras that I used to love watching.
Good stuff Sam!
I enjoyed this and the original video. It popped in my feed and I was all in to see you gain 20 lbs. Boy was I wrong. Great job.
you already know i watched the entire 46 minutes. This was awesome
🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
That was my first Video
And this is amazing the sequel definitely pulled a Shrek 2
46 minutes later waiting for the next video! Keep it up!
It's an awesome day when Sam uploads
Do you have a patreon or some other way for us to support your content? Im super excited for the next wings episode.
Right now it's just merch, but I'll be sure to let you know if anything changes! I really appreciate you saying that!
Your wife works at Rockbridge?! I used to be a volunteer young life leader and went there a couple times. So cool!
How can you not like this guy
My cousin did the Chicago Bulls wedding party intro, too. It was pretty fun. We did Monster Mash for our wedding.
Love it!
You are living your best life right now (yes, I know this video is a retrospective). You will continue to live your best life, even if it looks different from these days. Be easy, fellow Virginian.
At the end that sounded like will Ferrell at the Catalina wine mixer 😂😂😂
Yes!!!
this is bigger than the jordan documentary
please sing more. this is awesome
Hope you get famous soon
Sam is officially on a 75k sub count watch 😎
In a world of content creators who blow up Lamborghinis, thank you for being you.
This is high praise. Thank you!!
I used to work at taco bell right out of highschool and I unintentionally did this challenge for like 3 months straight😂 them free/discount meals + all the random shit i ate on shift really kept me from starving😂
You put a ton of work into the video and it shows
How annoying it must be to set up cameras for some of these angles then have to go get them
Really like your content! I think you should have way more subscribers! And you will achieve it too! Happy for your success! I think you should make more content around maintaining healthy lifestyles while balancing realistic habits we modern people have. AKA fast food, partying, not getting much physical activity.
top 5 youtubers of all time fs
Haha you are too kind
Taco Bell menu collab WHEN!!!
I know I’m late but it’s crazy to see the boundaries you pushed. As a person who’s always been intrigued by the possibility of filming videos as a lifestyle… this really shows the jumps and attempts to make it to that point. Congrats on the success you deserve it after the risks. loved the original.
3:15 I remember that when he said something like that
I wish I could find the video! Might have to rewatch all the vlogs...
Crazy that the Taco Bell video got so many views and you still only have 74k subs.
It's been a year already?!
Just thought of TB Saga by Tyler Joseph. If you haven’t heard it. Take a listen
Congratulations on making RUclips your full-time job!
Thank you! That was a huge milestone for me
Love recreating the Taco Bell folk song 🌮
Dang Sam has a great voice 😊
That podcast you mentioned from Reddit sounds like it sucks 🤣🤣
SAM WE LOVE YOU. Please start a patreon! ❤
No plans to start one at the moment but if anything changes I'll let you know! Appreciate the support 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
Great video
This is fantastic :)
we love sam reid bell-posting
this is what i want to see RUclips😭 my recommended has been so bad..
nah no shot its been a whole year since the original video lmao
Right?? Although it took a few months for it to blow up - so most people saw it in like February of this year
My health/cooking class in middle school too we would watch Super Size Me
