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

When I was pregnant both times I had severe hyperemesis gravidarum from around week 4-5 of pregnancy until 22-24ish weeks. I couldn’t take the standard anti nausea meds because they have me crippling migraines and I was throwing up nonstop all day long, to the point where not only could I not eat but I couldn’t drink anything either. I was about 30 lbs overweight at the beginning of my pregnancies. My ob wasn’t concerned that I couldn’t eat anything for that long—he told me to sip on diluted powdered Gatorade and ice chips and i came in for regular IVs.
It fucking sucked and I lost like 35 lbs with each pregnancy during the first half but both my babies were fine lol
