I did 5 days and I could have gone for longer but I had bought ingredients for a restorative re-feed bowl on the 3rd day and I didn’t want the food to go to waste.

I had zero calories and just drank water; supplemented with creatine, packs of electrolytes, and methylene blue.

There was an article published or study that said he didn’t have any loose skin. I wonder if the fasting caused his body to produce extra collagen?

I remember a podcast on this guys story. The most fascinating part of this fast was that he still routinely had bowel movements, despite no diet.

Turns out his bowel movements were the passing of internal cells that have died.

Biology is disgustingly interesting.

people still piss while dry fasting because fat metabolism produces h2o

I've read about this guy before and I recall his doctors giving him vitamins

Yes. The article said doctors were feeding him multivitamins, which explains why he didn't develop scurvy.

What is the longest you think you could go without eating?

We can all get a bit hungry if it has been hours since we last ate. But spare a thought for how hungry Angus Barbieri must have been after he went 382 days without eating.That’s not a typo. In 1965, 27-year-old Angus really did fast for one year and

The story of Angus Barbieri, who went 382 days without eating​

It s obviously impossible. These stories always have some „but he ate fruits though“ component

Did he develop photosynthesis(?) ability? I think the Roswell deathbed leaker said the alien didn't have mouth, sex organs, etc. so maybe alien gets nutrients from sunlight.

 

[GSP_37]

Yeah like.... did he use the sun to get energy. The body is gonna deplenish all protein and fat storages. Might be really fake. Or we can use the sun for energy like plants.

I read red light therapy gives energy to the cells via red light, but there's a limit on how far the light will penetrate the skin. I also read it helps hair growth.

I used to go 5 or 6 days without eating one single nibble when I was on meth, once went 11 days when I was in the hospital

When I stopped smoking piece I lost my apetite and lost like 10-15 pounds really quick. Gained it back soon. Piece is Hash. Joining you in confessing so others feel better about their problems. Which we all have at some points.

I complain just fasting for 23 hours! I'm a wimp. Incredible story.

I can recall a few years ago a lady in Seattle tried to not eat any food. She said she was going to survive on water and sunshine. She didn't last long. I knew that wasn't going to work, as the sun rarely shines in the Pacific northwest. She should have moved to Florida, the sunshine state, to give that crazy idea a try.

By far the most notable thing here isn't that this dude lost 276 pounds in a year. Lots of folks lose weight on starvation diets and other unhealthy shit and within a year fall back into old habits and put it all back on and then some. This dude apparently was 196 lbs 6 years after the fast, got married, had kids and maintained a healthy bodyweight for the next 35 years before he died of an unrelated illness. THAT'S most impressive.

Weighing 456 lbs at 27 takes some serious dedication to being a fatass. Apparently "to avoid temptation, he quit working at his father's fish and chips shop, which closed down during the fast." LOL no shit it closed down when its only customer staged a boycott. But the caloric deficit required to lose more than 20 lbs every month for a year is going to fuck over your metabolism. So on top of permanently changing his lifestyle, diet and exercise habits, his body would have been in starvation WTF mode for at least a year afterwards, trying to hold onto every calorie he consumed and store it as fat.

After almost 30 years of unhealthy lifestyle habits, it must have taken herculean discipline to maintain his new bodyweight. Props to this eye of the tiger having MFer.

when you are that fat, you can kind of take a few days off and your body will be ok, who the fuck is that fat to begin with though is the real question here...and i kinda know the answer

 

[Kassitus]

He was drinking tea and taking vitamins, but year still incredible. I went 10 days without food due to burst appendix. I lost about 25 lbs.

I've done eight days, it actually gets easier after the first four days, I didn't even have the urge to eat again, I just wanted to do eight days and then go back to eating.
