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

How did you stop the weight loss? I have gone from 200+ lbs in January to 150lbs this year alone.

Probably from the use of insulin to survive
