A Russian fitness trainer died in his sleep after forcing himself to binge on fast food in a risky bid to prove the effectiveness of his weight-loss programme.<\/p>\n

Tragic Dmitry Nuyanzin, a well-known coach and influencer from Orenburg, spent weeks gorging on junk food as part of a ‘marathon’ challenge he hoped would inspire his clients to shed weight alongside him.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old-who reportedly consumed up to 10,000 kilocalories a day-planned to gain at least 25kg before demonstrating how quickly he could slim back down.<\/p>\n

But the trainer’s heart failed as he slept, according to Ostorozhno Novosti channel.<\/p>\n

He had cancelled training sessions a day earlier, telling friends he felt unwell and intended to see a doctor.<\/p>\n

Three days later, he was laid to rest in Orenburg.<\/p>\n

Nuyanzin documented his dramatic weight gain online, showing his ‘daily diet’ to his thousands of followers on a Russian social media platform.<\/p>\n

This included pastries and cake for breakfast; dumplings smothered in mayonnaise for lunch; and a burger with two small pizzas for dinner.<\/p>\n

He also admitted snacking on crisps throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old-who reportedly consumed up to 10,000 kilocalories a day-planned to gain at least 25kg before demonstrating how quickly he could slim back down<\/p>\n

By 18 November, he revealed he had reached 105kg, gaining at least 13kg in a month.<\/p>\n

His challenge rules promised that anyone weighing over 100kg who lost 10% of their bodyweight by New Year would win 10,000 rubles [\u00a3100], paid directly by him.<\/p>\n

‘I am currently gaining weight for my weight-loss course, and this is my 10,000-calorie diet,’ he told followers.<\/p>\n

‘For breakfast, I have a plate of pastries and half a cake.<\/p>\n

‘For lunch, I usually eat 800 grams of dumplings with mayonnaise.<\/p>\n

‘During the day, I may snack on crisps, and for dinner, I have a burger and two small pizzas, either at a caf\u00e9 or delivered.’<\/p>\n

The trainer was a graduate of the Orenburg Olympic Reserve School and the National Fitness University in St Petersburg, and had worked as a personal coach to elite Russians for a decade.<\/p>\n

Friends described him as ‘bright’, ‘positive’ and ‘an amazing person’, with tributes flooding Russian social media.<\/p>\n

One wrote: ‘Dima [Dmitry], it’s so sad that you left so early\u2026 such an incredible person.’<\/p>\n

Another said: ‘I’m in total shock. Why does God take the best people?’<\/p>\n

His death came just months after another high-profile fitness figure, Belarusian bodybuilder Ilya ‘Golem’ Yefimchuk, 36, died of cardiac arrest in September.<\/p>\n

Yefimchuk reportedly consumed 16,500 kilocalories daily to maintain his 158kg frame.<\/p>\n

Nuyanzin, who was married and had no children, previously served an eight-month sentence in a grim Russian penal colony for drug possession in 2022, before returning to his coaching career.<\/p>\n

His heart ‘stopped beating in his sleep’, said friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Russian fitness trainer died in his sleep after forcing himself to binge on fast food in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[162856,98,337,97,3],"class_list":{"0":"post-317399","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-chinese-new-year","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-fitness","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
