Music producer Benny Blanco has turned his love for pizza into an unusual five-day experiment. The music producer ate only pizza to test whether he could lose weight while eating his favourite comfort food. His surprising challenge not only left him nearly five pounds lighter but also sparked plenty of curiosity about his unconventional approach.
Music producer Blanco recently took part in an unusual diet experiment, eating only pizza for five days to see whether he could lose weight. As he explained in a TikTok video, he wanted to prove that "you can lose weight eating literally anything." By the end of the experiment, he had lost nearly five pounds. The 38-year-old began the challenge weighing 152.2 pounds. His pizza of choice was a large thin-crust cheese pizza from Domino's.
On the first day, Blanco held up a slice and explained that it accounted for 1/16 of everything he could eat that day. By the fifth day, Blanco appeared to have had enough of the unusual meal plan. "I don't even remember who I am as a human being. Like, what was life before pizza?" he said in the video.
At the end of the experiment, Blanco stepped on the scale for his final weigh-in and found that he weighed 147.5 pounds. "I just lost 4.7 pounds in five days eating only pizza," he exclaimed, adding, "Nothing matters. You can do whatever you want."
Taking to the comments section, a user wrote, "I can do that!!! LETSSSS GOOOO!" While another mentioned, "Wait... does ANYONE actually think Benny Blanco weighed 152 lbs?" Another user commented, "It's a slice of pizza a day. Of course he lost weight."
Blanco is no stranger to a pizza party, as he and Gomez celebrated her birthday in July with an Italian feast during a cooking class in Tuscany, where they made pasta, stuffed zucchini flowers and eggplant parmigiana.
Selena Gomez started dating record producer Benny Blanco in June 2023. She formally announced their engagement in December 2024 following a period of media rumours. The couple were married on September 27, 2025.
Benny Blanco has revealed that his mother encouraged him to marry Selena Gomez years before they even started dating. The music producer recalled how Sandra Levin predicted their romance during a 2019 video shoot, saying Selena was exactly the kind of person he should be with.
He recently released the album's latest single, "Joven y Salvaje," in collaboration with Bb trickz.
