    Oregano?

    Herbal Magic? That might be the answer.

    Well given this is an MFP post someone has to make a snarky comment about feasibility and throw in some back of the envelope math to back it. So here goes. It is not possible to eat 20 lbs of pizza between now and Christmas. Christmas is only 4 days away so you would have to eat 5 lbs of pizza a day. Your body cannot do that. I encourage you to adopt a more sustainable goal like 1 lb of pizza for the next 20 days. You will find that by doing so your body will also have a better assimilation rate, giving you more effective weight gain from that pizza.

    I could easily eat 5 pounds of pizza in a day.

    Ha.... I scoff at your rEdiculous logic, and broscience. A large pizza is 3 lbs. So says Ask.com.... if you include today and Xmas day in his goal.... that's 5 days. 5 days to eat 7 large pizzas, which will put him over by a lb. If the pizzas are sliced into 8 slices, that's 11 slices per day, which is easily attainable. 5 small meals of 2.2 slices each... that's the way to do it. Or intermittent fasting, he can eat 14 slices per day for 4 days and fast on Xmas.

    Well I am intrigued by the math. I'll give benefit of doubt on a five day window, but anyone joining now would not have a full day today so the window is still about 4 days. Have you ever tried to consume 4-5 lbs of anything other than water in a single day? Energy density of food determines stomach emptying time and gut passage rates. Hence fiber will speed you up and cheese tends to slow you down. We also need to consider the volume of soda or beer that must accompany swallowing so much pizza and to offset the thirst of that much salt. In the end, I still question if it is doable for most normal humans. I think the diet you propose might work for one day, maybe even two but the sheer mass and constipation would likely become limiting well before 4 days.

    Let's just say that empirical data is what is needed. I want to see the experiment...I just don't want to do it myself.

    How do you know he hasn't been training for this. Also, the man is freakishly tall. Wouldn't that stand to reason that his capacity load is large as well?

    I just wanted to quote this. Otter probably can guess why.

    But everyone, please, carry on.

    That is funny. I must admit, you got me. Congratulations! You did a fine job of advertising....getting attention.
    So how are you doing with this goal? Actually, it may not be all that ambitious. What does a large pizza weigh? 2-3 lbs.? More?

    Ask.com says 3 lbs.

    Arguments?

    You can't just come up with a number. There are so many factors involved. Is it small, medium, large, family size? What are the toppings? What style of pizza (Pan, thin crust, deep-dish pie). I have personally hefted some pies that are about 10 pounds before.

    An easy answer would be:
    Cauliflower crust pizza.
    (Cowers and covers head to avoid object being hurled)

    I'm not in on the pizza challenge. I'm doing a booze option.

    Not only is this possible, I have found someone who eats 5 pounds of pizza a day. He does this as part of his training so that during a competition he can eat much more!

    Here is the YouTube video about his story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5y8r6oxtlE

    He is not alone. There are MANY people on YouTube who have performed something similar:
