Some stories remind us how quickly a risky choice can change everything. That’s what happened to fitness influencer Dmitry Nuyanzin, who tried to push his body through a “food marathon” that ended in tragedy.

Dmitry, only 30, set out to gain weight fast so he could later show dramatic results in a new weight-loss program. He began eating nearly 10,000 calories a day, filling his meals with pizza, burgers, pastries, dumplings, and snacks. His plan was to gain over 50 pounds and then lose it all with his followers watching.

At first, he treated the challenge like a bold adventure, sharing videos and daily menus online. But the turning point came when he began feeling unwell and canceled his training sessions. Friends said he planned to see a doctor, yet his health declined far faster than anyone expected.

Dmitry died in his sleep, with loved ones believing his heart simply gave out. He had gained more than 25 pounds in just weeks, putting enormous strain on his body. His final post showed him eating crisps with a proud caption, unaware of the danger building inside him.

Fans and friends have been left shocked, remembering a young man full of energy and big plans. His story has sparked new conversations about rapid weight gain, extreme diets, and the hidden toll they can take.

In the end, Dmitry’s journey is a sad reminder that our bodies need care more than they need challenges. And sometimes the bravest choice is simply choosing balance.
