Vice article about taking on unhealthy challenges for money

Earlier in 2019 Vice published an essay from someone who tried an extreme diet & lost close relationships as part of it, but there was also a section about being beholden to continue because he needs the money. What was the article?

The writer was male, possibly British, and he lost his girlfriend over it. He did lose weight but the diet itself seemed to make him ill.

In the essay he talked about how the main reason he continued with the diet even though it was clearly bad for him was because he pitched it to Vice and he needs the income from the publication of the essay. It wasn't the main thrust of the essay, but it did stick to me.

This would have been published online early 2019.
