Afegbai said that she only lasted for 24 hours before she started to feel unwell. She said that she had to be rushed to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

“I was so close to death,” Afegbai said. “I’m sharing my story to warn others against trying the No Food Challenge. It’s not worth the risk.”
