After his bodybuilding show in May, Will Tennyson noticed the scale climbing fast. Instead of guessing what works, he committed to a one-week experiment. He tested seven popular and extreme weight loss methods to see which ones actually helped control appetite, calories, and habits, and which ones were pure hype.
The week started with OMAD, one meal a day. The first half felt productive and focused. The second half felt unhinged. Hunger peaked hard, grocery shopping felt dangerous, and the final meal turned into a massive binge. OMAD worked when food quality stayed high, but it demanded discipline. Will rated it 7.5 out of 10.
Next came an electric fork that buzzes if you eat too fast. It doubled his meal time and made him feel full sooner. Slowing down changed how much he ate without changing the food. Simple but effective. Score, 7 out of 10.
Then came the treadmill sauna. It looked intense and felt brutal. The machine claimed huge calorie burn numbers, far higher than his Apple Watch. It was harder than normal cardio, but the calorie data felt inflated. Hard to access and hard to trust. Score, 4.5 out of 10.
Hypnosis surprised him. The session focused on reframing sweets as artificial and fruit as desirable. The result was real. Donuts felt greasy and unappealing. Fruit tasted better than ever. It didn’t control him, it shifted awareness. Score, 7 out of 10.
The IV metabolism drip crushed his appetite and boosted focus. He trained fasted, worked near food, and felt no pull to eat. It worked, but the method felt impractical long term. Score, 5 out of 10.
The mono diet was the low point. An all-watermelon day sounded easy. It became miserable fast. Hunger, bloating, bathroom trips, and almost no protein made it unsustainable. Score, 2 out of 10.
Finally, laser fat reduction showed visible short-term changes, especially in the abs. The science made sense, but results felt temporary without repeat sessions. Score, 4 out of 10.
The takeaway was clear. The methods that worked changed behavior, awareness, and pace. The ones that failed relied on shortcuts. And somehow, donuts ended the week barely worth thinking about.
