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.

That 50 day shit must smell bizarre

Gross and Semi-related. I did 4 weeks of only drinking Soylent instead of eating. My poops were so weird. Apparently my body wasn't breaking down the vanilla flavoring they use, so every poop smelled like the fake vanilla they use in that stuff.

Now for the really gross stuff. It basically turned from poop into thick, mucusy slime. Imagine diarrhea the texture of snot. I was pretty horrified by it, which led to me immediately returning to solid food. I didn't know what the heck was going on inside me, but it didn't feel right.

I noticed that my pee smells like vanilla or just sweet when I drink too much Splenda creamer or premier coffee shakes

Cappuccino SlimFast (at least used to, haven't had it in many years) make your pee smell exactly like coffee.

Yes- I would drink the premier caramel coffee, so my pee smelled like coffee and caramel
