A man admitted to eating at least one slice of pizza every day, yet he remains healthy and happy.

In an interview with The Guardian, Kenny Wildes, from Connecticut, revealed that he has consumed at least one slice of pizza every day for the past six years.

He explained: "My colleague and I would be on the road all day, and the quickest thing for me to grab to eat was a pizza."

Day by day, the challenge of eating pizza extended from one day to a month, and Kenny easily embraced it.

He added:  I rose to the challenge with ease. He then extended the bet to a month. By the end, I felt I could go for longer."

Surprisingly, despite consuming pizza daily, Wildes has managed to maintain a trim physique, attributing his health to his metabolism.

The challenge of eating pizza for Wildes began while he was working for a company that serviced heating and cooling systems.

He recounted that he and his colleague were often on the road, and pizza was the quickest meal to grab.

One day, his colleague challenged him to eat pizza every day for a week. Wildes rose to the challenge and continued even after the week was over.

Wildes now shares his daily pizzas on an Instagram account.

He enjoys the opportunity to travel and try pizzas from all over the country.

This spring, he had pizza in 10 different US states and even attended a pizza convention in Las Vegas.

His favorite crust is the thick, crispy, and chewy style from New Haven, and he loves eating at Sally's Apizza, a restaurant that has been open since 1938.

"It's the perfect job for me, as I can travel and try pizzas from all over the country," Wildes said.

“This spring, I had pizza in 10 different US states. I also went to Las Vegas for a pizza convention.

"My favorite crust is the thick, crispy and chewy style from New Haven. The city has the best pizza I’ve ever tried.

"I love eating at a place called Sally's Apizza, which has been open since 1938.

"The sauce is like nothing I’ve ever had, and the coal-fired oven puts the perfect char on the crust."

On the other hand, a man can't sleep due to receiving pizzas that he didn't order for 10 years.

If Wildes has enjoyed his favorite pizza for six years, Jean Van Landeghem from Antwerp has been unable to sleep as he received pizzas he never ordered for 10 years

Jean Van Landeghem, a resident of Antwerp, has been receiving regular pizza deliveries for nearly a decade, sometimes as many as 14 in one day.

However, Van Landeghem has never actually placed an order for pizza. He only buys chilled pizzas from his local Aldi.

The mysterious deliveries began nine years ago, and despite turning the delivery drivers away each time, the influx of takeout deliveries has not ceased.

These unwanted deliveries have caused him stress and sleepless nights, and he laments the waste of food and money.

He said, “I cannot sleep anymore. I start shaking every time I hear a scooter on the street. I live in fear that someone will come to drop off hot pizzas yet again.”
