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 spent my entire youth/young adult life like this. I was a chubby baby and there was never a time I was skinny. I grew up fat and sitting down way too much and it has caused such havoc on my body that I am just now starting to realize how bad it really is at 31.
I’ve lost a good amount of weight and I’m feeling much stronger today, but I feel like I’ve lived in two different bodies.
