Jimmy Donaldson alias MrBeast participated in a fasting challenge, in a video posted on his channel on 2nd July, 2022. During the course of this challenge, he was not allowed to eat food for thirty days, in which he lasted fourteen days. However, during the challenge, he was seen in a video making a chocolate factory, quite similar to the Johnny Depp starrer Willy Wonka, but the catch was that he couldn't eat due to the fasting challenge.
In fact, he even met Gordon Ramsay, during his challenge. Now it's completely understandable that he lost the challenge, because of the smell of chocolate and with Gordon Ramsay himself making food for you, nobody can resist that.

Regarding Jimmy’s health, he is fine, but has lost around 18lbs in two weeks. Jimmy revealed in a video that he suffers from Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation. Thus, he participated in the fasting challenge, so it was a good arrangement for him on either side.

However, Dr. Gary Linkov posted a YouTube Short, explaining that maybe MrBeast is trying to hide his receding hairline, to which Jimmy didn’t reply.
