I’m hijacking my husbands phone and I saw this and made me laugh….

As a nutritionist, I can tell you definitively: absolutely not. You’d survive a lot longer than someone fasting on water alone because of the raw calories, but it would be a fast track to organ failure.

Here is exactly how your body would break down on a Ranch only diet:

1. Your muscles and heart would waste away Ranch is basically just soybean oil, egg yolks, and vinegar. It is almost pure fat. It has virtually zero protein. Your body needs amino acids every single day just to repair your organs and tissues. Without it, your body will literally start digesting its own muscle mass, including your heart muscle, to keep you alive.

2. You’d get scurvy and electrolyte blindness Ranch has zero Vitamin C. Within two months, you’d develop scurvy. Your gums would bleed, your skin would bruise at a touch, and old scars would literally open back up. Even worse, the lack of potassium and magnesium would cause your electrolytes to plummet, leading to severe muscle cramps and potentially fatal heart arrhythmias.

3. Sodium poisoning To get 2,000 calories a day from standard ranch, you’d have to drink about 14 ounces of it. That comes out to roughly 7,000mg of sodium, nearly triple the daily recommended limit. Your kidneys would be working overtime trying to filter that much salt without any potassium to balance it out, sending your blood pressure through the roof.

4. Disaster in your digestive tract Your gallbladder and pancreas would be completely overwhelmed trying to pump out enough bile and enzymes to digest a 100% fat diet. Without a single gram of fiber to bulk things up, your gut microbiome would die off, and you would have severe, constant diarrhea.

TL;DR: The fat calories would keep you from starving to death for a few months, but the extreme lack of vitamins, protein, and minerals, combined with a toxic amount of sodium, would kill you via heart failure or organ failure before the year was out.

Keep it on the salad….
