However, the fitness community unanimously disparaged the 48-year-old formerly enhanced bodybuilder.

Not everything about the diet was pleasant

The bodybuilder explained that he started the 11-day pineapple diet after a water fast. While Kirkendall only drank water, he didn’t lose any weight. Instead, Kirkendall’s feet became slightly swollen from water retention. So, the fitness influencer hopped on the 11-day pineapple-only diet. for 11 days Kali Muscle only ate cubed pineapple and pineapple juice.

The first day didn’t go too well for the 48-year-old. Chewing the pineapples scratched the roof of his mouth. The fitness fanatic also had trouble with bowel movements. While things got slightly better, his bowel movement issues didn’t improve a lot. However, the bodybuilder spoke about a lot of positives. Kirkendall felt energetic, lost 17 lbs and his water retention issues disappeared.

Kali Muscle said that while everyone had told him it was a bad idea to only eat pineapples, he felt great after 11 days. However, the fitness community wasn’t impressed. They bashed the influencer in the comments.

Klai Muscles diet hack didn’t convince fitness enthusiasts

Netizens didn’t seem convinced by the purported benefits that Kali Muscle touted. “Don’t listen to Kali. You will destroy your whole metabolism, your nervous system will crash and you will feel depleted, depressed, and lost… Kali is promoting nonsense and some young uneducated kids will believe his nonsense. He promoted and sold ‘Hyphy Mud’ which was absolute poison,” wrote one fan. Another fan also pointed out what Kali Muscle did in the past. “Kali comes up with all these hacks just to get likes and money. Remember he had a heart attack because of the ste***ds,” the follower wrote.

Others called weight-loss claims into question. “If you starve yourself you’re obviously going to lose weight. This isn’t healthy bro. Stop starving yourself,” wrote one fan. One follower explained how he believed eating so much pineapple would cause harm. “All that bromelain in the pineapple will melt your insides. Pineapple is literally a meat tenderizer,” wrote the individual.

While the fitness influencer might have experienced multiple benefits, his diet challenges are getting a lot of backlash from the fitness community.
