A Russian fitness influencer has died after attempting to consume around 10,000 calories a day as part of an extreme eating challenge he was documenting online. The man, identified as 30-year-old trainer Dmitry Nuyanzin from Orenburg, had shared regular updates on social media as he pursued what he described as a rapid weight gain experiment.

Local reports say he had recently complained of feeling unwell and told friends he intended to see a doctor. He was later found dead at home, with early assessments pointing to cardiac arrest linked to the abrupt dietary changes and significant rise in bodyweight.
