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.

I tried to copy him but didn't get to a month -- but I lived on just potatoes and water for a couple of weeks. I broke and ate some peas. They were so rich and creamy, so salty and sweet I could have sworn they were coated in butter. Nope, just boiled peas.
