I'm sure there are lots of other ways to say this.

no one can sustain that.
These are my two cents. I think you could phrase it in different ways, just ensuring you get the point across--this is not sustainable.
- No one can sustain that.
- The body can't handle that.
- Nobody can sustain that lifestyle.
Good luck, let's see what other posters have to say.
