A woman has said she was hospitalised after attempting the viral “75 Hard” social media challenge, which involves drinking a gallon of water a day.

Michelle Fairburn, who’s based in Canada, shared a video to TikTok on Monday about the challenge, which was first started by YouTuber Andy Frisella. In addition to drinking a gallon of water a day for 75 days, the other tasks in the challenge include following a structured diet with no alcohol or “cheat meals,” two 45-minute workouts a day, reading 10 pages a day, and taking a daily progress photo, according to Frisella’s website.
