Extreme personal experiments dominate top performers, with creators documenting radical protocols over specific timeframes. "I Ate 1000 Sardines In A Month" transforms the creator into a test subject for curious viewers.
Visceral fat appears repeatedly as a specific target rather than general weight loss. This scientific precision makes promises feel more credible and measurable than vague health claims.
