About one year into the pandemic, Chris Sandberg decided it was time to get serious about losing weight — by turning his health journey into a TikTok challenge. In January 2021, Sandberg began exercising every day until Taco Bell brings back his favorite menu item, the Grilled Stuft Nacho. The 37-year-old has continued the challenge for more than 480 days — shedding approximately 87 pounds in the process.
… Sandberg said he wanted his weight loss journey to be fun and to have a goal of something that he wanted. And for some reason, “the first thing that popped into my head was the Grilled Stuft Nacho, and I just ran with it.” On January 4, 2021, Sandberg posted his first video for the challenge. At the time, he weighed about 275 pounds.
… Taco Bell first introduced the Grilled Stuft Nacho in 2013 and was discontinued by 2015. While Dolly Parton recently encouraged Taco Bell to revive its Mexican Pizza — which it is — Sandberg is still waiting for the fast food company to bring back the Grilled Stuft Nacho.
