Woman Drinks Olive Oil Daily for Two Weeks — Here’s What Really Happened

Curious about the viral olive oil shot trend, writer Lynsey Hope decided to drink two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil every morning for two weeks — and the results were surprising.

Often hailed as “liquid gold,” olive oil is a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, linked to lower risks of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. But could drinking it straight live up to the hype?

“After the first shot, I felt nauseous and dizzy,” Hope admitted. The taste was fruity yet burned her throat — a normal reaction, she later learned. By day four, her stomach struggled, and she craved plain foods like toast.

Around day eight, she began taking it after breakfast, and things changed. “My gut felt better, my energy rose, and I stopped snacking so much,” she shared. By day 14, her skin glowed, cravings dropped, and her weight stayed the same despite the added calories.

Hope’s verdict: “It’s not for everyone, but the benefits shocked me.”
Experts advise moderation — too much may cause digestive discomfort.
