Chris Stewart, 37, used to drink 12 cans of Mountain Dew a day and eat large McDonald’s meals for lunch — until he saw a photo of himself at his dad’s funeral that made him feel “sick.”
“Who is going to carry my casket?” Stewart recalled to SWNS. “I thought if I didn’t change something I’m going to die.”
The Illinois forklift driver weighed 400 pounds at his heaviest, wearing a size 5XL. He would consume two cans of Mountain Dew each morning when he woke up and two McDonald’s cheeseburgers, a McChicken sandwich and fries for lunch.

My ex drank up to 4 liters of “super Dew “ (Mountain Dew with some of the fast food syrup added - we had access in high school) daily. He crashed hard after having to quit. Stuff was gross.
Mountain Dew was my favorite drink until I started having hypoglycemic rebounds. I felt fine shortly after drinking a can, but 20 minutes later, my sugar crashed and I was shaking. It just didn't match well with my job duties that included updating floor layout drawings for a central office and neatly printing engineering specs for Western Electric.
Many years later, I developed a bad habit of drinking Cherry Coke. My trip to the dentist ran up a whopping $1500 to repair all the spots where the acidic Coke had leached the calcium from my teeth. I switched to unsweetened ice tea. My teeth stabilized and I loss excess weight from the sugar.
I dimly remember an episode about age 16 with Bacardi White and something that made me ill to see a bottle for years.
These days, after discovering Meyers, Kraken spiced rum, bar the door.
People done need park, sidewalk, gym all they need is to get creative with what they have. Walk around insidethehouse, standup andsit down in a chair slowly and repeatedly, gots steps? Use them often. Pushups, jog in place, etc. Plenty ofways to workout cheap rightwhere a Person lives.
I don’t think that’s the reason she had it done.
He said he had McDonald’s and frozen meals.
#4 my younger sister drinks coffee and she is wired too and just talks and talks.
I wonder how much the tattoos weigh....?
I would argue it's the high fructose corn syrup in the drink in this instance.
It tells you right in the name...high - fructose (or fruit sugar)
That means...it's got LOTS of CORN sugar in syrup form.
The caffeine hooks, the corn latches.
Lose self control, you can't fit through hatches.
A forklift, of course.
That thought weighed on me and, after a few days, I switched to unsweet green tea and never looked back.
Oh, that soun6d just awful! Never had Mountain Dew, but I recall I liked Southern Comfort about 40 years ago. And is there a better name for any beverage than “Southern Comfort”?
I didn’t see a Mountain Dew culture until I lived in Wisconsin and Minnesota, in Texas, California, and the Southwest it was just one of the lesser soft drinks that one saw occasionally.
I don’t drink 12 cans of soda in year and don’t do fast food.
A big fat slob who is also a forklift driver, big surprise!
Many on FR constantly obsess over McDonald’s too. It seems to be bipartisan to bash McDonald’s for some reason. I enjoy McDonald’s sometimes and I am in great shape.
Of the past 17 seasons (2006-2022), only 1 ended with a national champion outside the southeast: 2014 Ohio St. All the rest were either SEC schools (Florida, LSU, Bama, Auburn, Georgia) or ACC schools residing in the southeast (FSU, Clemson). And the national champion from the year before that (2005 Texas) is joining the SEC next year.
The Big 12 is finding itself on the outside looking in.
“In the late 90’s I drank 6 cans of Mountain Dew in a day. I was jittery for the rest of the day.”
When I worked space missions and had to stay up for 5 days in a row with just 20 minute catnaps, Mountain Dew replaced my blood.
Everything in life is cyclical. Where is the once powerful Big East basketball conference? Now, the once-lowly Big 12 leads the nation. It wasn’t that long ago that Rice and Army were good in football. So was Norte Dame and Michigan.
