Whoever came up with the concept of a 'balanced diet' must have been a seriously dull person.

Sadly, however, they were also probably onto something, in terms of being healthy and actually not, y'know, dying too soon.

If you're anything like us, you dream of being able to indulge purely in the greatest of God's creations - bacon - eating it for every meal, morning, noon and night.

But what would actually happen if you attempted it - could the dream become a reality?

Handily, the good folks at Life Noggin have taken a look for us, examining the possibility of existing solely on bread, steak and, finally - the king of meats - bacon.

Spoiler: it's probably not a goer guys. But would it hurt to try?
