Benny Blanco wanted to prove that losing weight does not always require giving up pizza.
The music producer documented himself eating one pizza every day for five consecutive days as part of an experiment shared on TikTok. At the end of the challenge, Benny claimed he had lost nearly five pounds.
“Today’s Day 1 of only eating pizza for five days straight to prove you can lose weight eating literally anything,” Benny explained at the beginning of the video.
The 38-year-old started the challenge at 152.5 pounds and confidently predicted the number would drop by the end of the week.
Benny Blanco Ate One Pizza Every Day
Benny began his experiment with a large, thin-crust pizza from Domino’s. He kept eating similarly sized pizzas for the rest of the challenge.
His enthusiasm did not last long.
By the third day, the “Eastside” producer admitted that he was already tired of eating pizza. Still, he continued the challenge to see whether his plan would produce the expected result.
When Day 5 arrived, Benny joked that he could barely remember what life was like before pizza. Despite growing tired of the food, he said he felt good and had a “spring” in his step.
Then it was time for the final weigh-in.
Benny Blanco Revealed How Much Weight He Lost
At the end of the five-day experiment, the scale displayed 147.5 pounds.
Benny said he lost 4.7 pounds while eating only pizza. He used the unexpected result to promote his upcoming memoir, “F*** Failure.”
However, Benny did not reveal whether he exercised during the challenge or made any other lifestyle changes that could have affected the number on the scale.
The brief experiment also does not show that eating only pizza is a healthy or sustainable way to lose weight. A person’s weight can fluctuate over short periods, and health professionals generally recommend balanced eating patterns rather than restrictive single-food diets.
Benny appeared to approach the challenge as an entertaining promotional stunt rather than serious nutritional guidance.
Benny Blanco Has Always Loved Food
The pizza experiment fits naturally into Benny’s public love of cooking and entertaining.
He released his first book, “Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends,” in 2024. Benny described the cookbook as a helpful guide for people who find cooking or hosting dinner parties intimidating.
He is also known for preparing meals for his wife, Selena Gomez, whom he began dating in 2023. The couple married in September 2025 after two years together.
Benny previously described Selena as his best friend and said he realized early in their relationship that she was the person he wanted to marry.
Now, Benny is preparing to release another book while proving he can turn even a week of pizza into a promotional opportunity.
Whether his followers attempt the experiment themselves is another matter. Five straight days of pizza left Benny nearly five pounds lighter, but also more than ready to change the menu. Safe to say, he may not be ordering another pie anytime soon.
