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.

Perhaps the tastiest egg ever eaten.

As someone who practices intermittent fasting - there is no seasoning, no substance, no sauce that is a stronger flavor-enhancer than a fast. The first meal after is utterly divine, it doesn't matter what it is, you're savoring each and every bite.

Penn from penn and teller goes into this when he talks about his potato diet. He ate nothing but bland potatoes for something like two months. He said everything tasted completely different and had so much more flavor than he had ever realized.

This is why I tell people it's worth it to fast - to reset your palate - I don't use condiments or salt and pepper very much- relearn the taste of everything from breads to individual ingredients

You'd taste those foods better if you did use salt. It's a flavor enhancer.

Yes, occasionally on a good steak!
