Whoa. Not at all what we expected!

How difficult could it be to give up sugar, alcohol, unhealthy foods, and artificial additives for a month? It turns out it's a lot more difficult than you'd expect.

For the Dutch online show Life Hunters, Sacha Harland from The Hague, Holland , attempted to live for a month without consuming sugar, alcohol, or processed foods.



He had to avoid processed food like pizza, burgers, beer and wine, chocolate bars, and popcorn. It shouldn't have been to difficult, right?
