14 DAY TRIAL // 25-year-old Gary Watkinson of Huddersfield, UK, claims he's eaten nothing but baked beans on toast and chips his entire life.
In fact, he says that his usual daily diet only includes baked beans on toast. The chips are for when he goes on vacation and cooking his usual meals can be a bit of a hassle.
“Ever since I can remember, from when I was a kid, I have only eaten beans, toast and chips,” young Gary Watkinson insists.
Unusual diet aside, the man is in perfect shape
Seeing how he eats three servings of baked beans on toast on a daily basis, you'd think that 25-year-old Gary Watkinson wouldn't exactly qualify as fit. Still, medical experts say that tests show him to be A-OK health-wise.
He's not overweight and his body doesn't seem to have trouble surviving on such a restrictive diet. In case anyone was wondering, this beans enthusiast weighs 11 stones (70 kilograms / 154 pounds) on the dot.
Mind you, Gary Watkinson doesn't eat just any kind of baked beans. Instead, he can only stomach one very specific brand: Branson. As for the toast and the chips that he indulges in, the 25-year-old isn't this demanding.
He can't even stand the thought of other foods
Gary Watkinson remembers that, when he was a child, his mother tried to trick him into eating other foods. It didn't work. Instead, he would knock over the plates.
Even now, the young man admits that his friends keep hoping to persuade him to take at least a bite or two of a slice of pizza, a hamburger and some other dish that isn't baked beans on toast or chips.
The 25-year-old claims that just the thought of trying other foods makes him sick and that there is no way he will willingly change his diet anytime soon, Yorkshire Post informs.
Restrictive diets are bad for the body, doctors warn
He might be healthy now, but medical experts warn that, probably sooner than he thinks, his diet will likely cause Gary Watkinson to experience all sorts of health trouble.
“There are no antioxidants in his diet, no fresh vegetables and fruit so he will probably have a very low immune system, so fighting off disease and colds and flu will obviously be a problem going forward,” said specialist Yvonne Wake.
These days, however, the calories and the fat in the baked beans, the toast and the chips he eats appear to be enough to keep Gary Watkinson alive and even sustain his rather active lifestyle.
