Moscow, November 28: Russian fitness coach and influencer Dmitry Nuyanzin (30) has tragically passed away after taking part in an extreme binge-eating challenge intended to promote his weight-loss programme. According to reports, Nuyanzin died in his sleep while he was in the midst of consuming over 10,000 calories a day, a routine he had adopted for weeks to rapidly gain weight before demonstrating a dramatic transformation.
Nuyanzin’s goal was to intentionally gain 25 kilos, believing that shedding the weight publicly would inspire people and prove that transformation is possible through his programme. In just one month, he had already gained 13 kilos, reaching a weight of 105 kg. His Instagram posts during this period showed a drastic physical change — from a sculpted, muscular frame to significant fat accumulation around his abdomen. In one clip, he even grabbed a packet of Lays chips while showing viewers the newly gained fat around his belly.

His self-imposed diet was shockingly high in calories. For breakfast, he consumed plates of pastries and half a cake. Lunch consisted of nearly 800 grams of dumplings drenched in mayonnaise, and his dinners included a burger along with two small pizzas. Throughout the day, he snacked on crisps to keep the calorie intake soaring. Nuyanzin openly described this routine, admitting to eating junk food consistently as part of the experiment.

A day before his death, Nuyanzin reportedly told friends he was feeling unwell and had planned to visit a doctor. He even cancelled all his training sessions. Unfortunately, he passed away in his sleep before he could seek medical help.
Nuyanzin, a graduate of the Orenburg Olympic Reserve School and the National Fitness University in St Petersburg, had spent over a decade coaching elite Russians. His shocking death has sparked conversations about extreme fitness challenges and the risks of pushing the body beyond safe limits.
