The average guy eats about 2,500 calories (10,467Kj) a day.



So what would happen if you ate more than double that amount for a week straight? Some seriously scary stuff, according to new research published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Researchers had six otherwise healthy guys chow down on about 6,000 calories (25,120Kj) per day - which included pizza and burgers - and stay on bed rest in a hospital’s research unit for seven days.

At the end of the week, they had gained an average of 3.6 kilograms. Not surprising.

But here’s where the results become alarming: After just two days, all of the men developed insulin resistance - when your cells are unable to take glucose from your blood and use it for energy - which is a precursor to diabetes.
