Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleBenny Blanco is no stranger to unconventional ideas, whether it was using a ship to visit London or cutting his hair to promote his work. However, his latest experiment may be one of his most surprising ones yet. The music producer recently decided to put himself on a pizza-only diet for five days. Benny tried to find out whether eating only his single favourite dish makes a difference. Result? He claims that he lost nearly five pounds. As he documented his journey, his wife, Selena Gomez, cheered for him.
Benny Blanco recently shared the details about his new experiment in a TikTok video. It has quickly caught the attention of his fans. He revealed that his new goal was to prove that people can lose weight while eating food items they enjoy. It also means that they don't necessarily have to follow restrictive diets.
The music producer started the challenge by stepping onto a scale. He recorded that his weight at the beginning was 152.2 pounds. Eventually, he ate only one large, thin-crust Domino's pizza every day for the next five days. Throughout the video, Benny recorded himself following the routine and consuming pizza for every meal.
Although the challenge sounded fun at first, he realised it was more difficult than he had initially thought. Over the next few days, Benny seemed more exhausted by his limited menu. Eventually, on the third day, he admitted that his excitement had ended as he joked, "I hate my life".
It was clear that Benny had become fired from seeing pizza for every meal. Still, he set his frustration aside and continued the challenge for five days. When the experiment ended, the music producer's comments were even more dramatic.
He looked back on the time when he only ate pizza for nearly a week and joked that he could barely recall what life looked like before the challenge. In his words: "I don't even remember myself as a human being. What was life before pizza?"
But despite the monotony, Benny Blanco claimed that he was feeling surprisingly good physically by the final day. After completing his challenge, he stepped back on the scale and shared the result. His final weight was 147.5 pounds, which meant he lost nearly 4.7 pounds in five days. So, the music producer celebrated the occasion and said:
"I just lost 4.7 pounds eating pizza. Nothing matters, do whatever you want."
It is important to note that nutrition experts would likely warn people against relying on these results from a short-term experiment. But Benny's challenge sparked a new debate online about how dieting, calorie intake, and weight loss don't always mean you have to give up your favourites.
Meanwhile, fans couldn't help but notice Benny Blanco's wife, Selena Gomez, in the video. When Benny was in the middle of his challenge, he attended a dinner outing with his wife at Los Angeles' famous Sunset Tower Hotel. However, instead of ordering from the menu, Benny stuck to his experiment and brought pizza with him.
The incident amused fans because Selena enjoyed various delicacies at the restaurant while Benny, beside her, ate slices of Domino's pizza. She was also seen kissing her husband's neck, which gave an insight into their playful dynamic. Soon, the brief interaction was admired by fans.
Incidentally, Benny conducted his experiment while promoting his upcoming book. F–k Failure. It is scheduled to release on September 15, 2026, according to publishers. Simon and Schuster: the book explores how setbacks, mistakes and failures can be stepping stones to success.
When Benny promoted the book, he explained how, throughout his career, he had learned from failures. He believes that learning from mistakes is the key to achieving long-term goals. The music producer also mentioned how he had experienced both everyday failures and big disappointments in life. But life also taught him how to turn the same moments into opportunities for growth.
Selena Gomez tied the knot with Benny Blanco in September 2025. Given her popularity, their bond made headlines right from the beginning. The duo had known each other for years through their shared professional circles, but they did not begin dating until 2023.
Since then, they have often shared some honest glimpses of their life, including their collaborative projects. Early in 2026, they released their joint album, I Said I Love You First. Whether it is about planning surprises for his wife or spending five days eating pizza, the pair has stayed by each other.
