Earn £5k to eat foods like pizza, chips and pasta for a month

A multi-vitamins manufacturer is recruiting people who exist on a less-than-healthy diet - and they will be paid £5,000 to stuff themselves with so-called 'beige foods' for a month.

Successful applicants will also need to take regular doses of vitamins during that time.

On the menu are things like white bread, eggs, pasta, chicken and rice - although there's a qualified nutritionist and doctor on hand to make those involved get enough nutrients.

This is the new British Nutrition Foundation portion size guide

You need to be over 18 years old, and can't have any underlying health conditions or be undergoing any form of medical treatment - as well as confirming you're not allergic to any of the ingredients in the product, MirrorOnline reports.

Vitamin brand Feel is keen to point out it doesn't want to encourage replacing a healthy diet with vitamin supplements, which is why only people who already eat a poor diet will be considered for the role.

The firm will then test the nutrient levels of the three successful applicants before and after they spend a month trying out the one-a-day vitamin to see if it's helped them out.

Feel co-founder Boris Hodakel said: “We in no way want to encourage people to use our multivitamin as a substitute for a healthy diet, the purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of our product, outside of a lab or controlled environment, where results don’t reflect reality.

"We want average members of the public to eat a version of the modern Western diet - under the watchful eye of a doctor and nutritionist, to see whether Feel is as good as we think it is, in the real world.”

Those who are interested can apply to be a tester here.
