Yahoo Lifestyle 'Bachelor' Alum Nick Viall Unveils Questionable Health Update
Nick Viall is starting off the new year feeling mighty "hangry" amid a questionable new diet.
The Bachelor alum is starting off 2025 exceptionally hydrated, if nothing else, as he does "a water fast" to reset himself, detailing the less-than-fun side effects on the most recent episode of his podcast The Viall Files.

To be fair, he explicitly pointed out that he "is not recommending it to anyone."
"This is not some sort of, 'Do this with me,'" he assured listeners, after divulging, "I haven’t eaten in 36 hours, so that’s fun," in the video uploaded on Jan. 9, explaining that he's having "nothing [but] water."
"It's supposed to be really healthy for you," he defended his choice. "It's supposed to, like, decrease your chance of cancer; it's supposed to be really good for inflammation; it's supposed to be good for decreasing your chance of Alzheimer's," he further claimed.
His goal is to make it four days without eating, but, "Last night sucked hard," he recalled. "They said that first 24 hours is tough. I felt really weak and tired—it was like 7:30, I was like, ‘Can we go to bed?’”
His wife, Natalie Joy, "is also suffering" as Viall becomes "the hangriest person [she's] ever been around."
"He's so mad, he's so angry, and I'm like, 'You can stop whenever you... want!" she continued to call him out. "You can't complain when you're doing it!"
"It was a tough first night!" he emphasized, "And I was fine."
Joy joked that she's "suffering" in even more ways because Viall is the chef in the family. Without him eating, she's left to fend for herself, even though she "can't cook for s--t."
“I needed a cleanse,” Viall defended. “I’ve been eating way too much sugar lately these days and I think my diet has relatively not been where I feel like it could be or should be.”
Before the segment ended, he once again assured listeners that the dietary shift was "temporary," emphasizing that he didn't want anyone to take his choice as a health recommendation.
“I’m doing this for me. I don’t need feedback from any of you listening—good or bad,” he added.
