Woman eats only noodles for weeks, ends up in the hospital

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | A young university student who ate only instant noodles for three weeks straight in order to save money for Singles Day – China’s version of Black

Friday – ended spending all of her savings on medical bills after her unusual diet made her sick.

Instant noodles are standard fare for many university students. They’re cheap, easy to cook and they fill your stomach, but they’re definitely not the most nutritious meal.

Hong Jia initially made news at the start of November, when her plan was revealed and how had managed to save 749 yuan (Approx. Shs400,000). Sadly, Hong Jia never got to buy all the discounted items she had her eyes on. Instead she ended up spending all the money she had saved on IV drips and medicine.
