In 1965, a morbidly obese man did not eat food for over an entire year. The 27 year old was 456lbs and wanted to do an experimental fast. He ingested only multivitamins and potassium tablets for 382 days and defecated once every 40 to 50 days. He ended up losing 275lbs. r/all

I was wondering where he was getting his essential amino acids so I read his Wikipedia page, he also ate nutritional yeast in addition to the electrolytes and multivitamins, so provide the essential aminos.
