The Man Who Escaped Death by Not Eating for 382 Days

[@ChazzleDazzleVideos]

This chick claiming she doesnt eat food but is drinking smoothies? Im pretty sure fruit is considered food.

[@talkingbirb2808]

it's more like a juice diet...

​@@talkingbirb2808 Liquefing an entire piece of fruit before drinking it and calling it 'juice' is a cop out. That's like throwing an entire salad into a blender and claiming it's a keto smoothie.

[@LeekedBeats]

Fasting has many health benefits. He must’ve been huge to be able to go a whole year without eating. 400+ pounds sounds about right. The body used his fat for fuel.

[@OctoBear88]

Tell me more 🧐

[@Fluffykunn]

If I remember right he was like 450-500 pounds? But literally he just did what animals do for winter, minus the hibernation.

[@_s_9920]

likely he was just very low calorie intake, supplements and beverages tend to contain quite a few kcals that aren't listed on the packaging - especially supplements like fish oil and sugar bulking agents used in tablets. Being British he was likely consuming tea and coffee with milk - albeit only a little milk is added, many working class Britons especially back then could be drinking more than 4 cups a day - more at work to take advantage of tea/smoke breaks between jobs.

[@WhittaII]

Wow I did not know I actually did a method of fasting by not eating for 16 hours of the day. Less by choice, more because I don't eat breakfast which in its self is equally bad I imagine.

[@ChazzleDazzleVideos]

Yeah I have to force myself to eat something before noon even if it's like literally a piece of bread or else my meds ruin my stomach. I also just can not eat right when I get up so I usually end up eating like a handful of peanuts or something around 11 am and then eat when I get home in the evenings on days I work.

[@LeekedBeats]

Not eating breakfast isn’t “bad”. If you’re not hungry it’s totally fine. We’ve been programmed to over eat anyways.

[@jimdandy8996]

I do that too... it doesn't do anything for me. Its just my natural feeding cycle.

[@Crawfishness]

Not eating breakfast can be good or bad depending on your lifestyle. For example, if you have a job that's very physical, eating breakfast is probably important to give you the energy you need for the first half of your day. If not though, I won't worry about it.

[@aComedicPianist]

Technically, breakfast means to “break fast,” so your first meal after waking up is technically your breakfast. We associate breakfast with the morning because it’s assumed most people wake up and eat in the morning.

[@androgynylunacy]

I wish I had the will to do that, man. Nothing could distract me enough to not eat. Food touches upon your serotonin receptors, and I have little joy in life. I also can't see anything magically making me feel more joyful. I've also been on just about every antidepressant that there is.

[@phyrhfbr1819]

buproprion... it's also very stimulating with effects similar to amphetamines... the doctors let me keep it if I maintain a healthy weight... it's the only thing that makes me be able to be happy... so I force food down 😶

[@NorseCrusader1]

I went for 7 days in 2023 and then another 4 days about a week later. Each time for 3 days I felt hungry and then from the 4th Day on did not feel hungry but actually felt pretty decent. The only thing that made me feel bad for say was people constantly pushing food on me which is nothing new to me because I grew up in a family that was constantly pushing food on me like it was the Great Depression which is why they were pushing food on me because my great grandparents Survived the Great Depression. And I did have some sort of supervision which was my brother who qualified as a Marine Corps field medic and I wasn't just going cold turkey I was drinking a Gatorade once a day along with a multivitamin and at least seven glasses of water a day. I forgot to mention that I also work for a hotel and I'm kind of surrounded by food. That was the other tough part, other than that once you stop feeling hungry and don't use the bathroom as much you find that you have tons of free time and then realize that when you did eat when you had free time.

[@brett8940]

This video reminded me of Linda Hazard, who ran a "health" retreat in the Pacific North West in the begining of the 20th Century. Her guests often starved to death--but not before giving up valuables.

I did the 8/16 fasting few years ago BUT of course my eating window was full of essential nutrients and good food and did some excersice. My body transformed completely. There is truth in the saying you are what you eat.

[@f.m848]

The 16/8 fasting works sooo goood! I've been doing it for 3 years now with regular exercise (nothing special), I lost 20kg in the first 3 months(I went very hard on exercise the first 4 months) and haven't gained the weight back yet. I eat 1 meals a day(mostly a very large lunch and a big fruit shake(with yogurt and fresh or frozen fruits) at night and light snacks in between usually around 2000 to 2500 calories) I don't even feel hungry during the 16 hours and I don't deny myself any fast food cravings(with moderation of course). I snack on cheese puffs, chips, pop corn, and chocolate, there's really no restrictions, but if I have potato chips for example it's mostly to satisfy the craving and I don't need it for another month or more. don't get me wrong at the start it was hard, the craving is always there, but 3 years later It's barely there like an old friend who calls onces in a while. I used to count calories very very strictly at the start, but now I just have a feeling when it's enough. you'll eventually get used to the amount of food and calories by looking, plus going over or under a little isn't going to hurt you. I look good, don't have to stress over what I eat and my huge lunch is always super satisfying, the fruit shake satisfies my strong sweet tooth as well. not to mention one meal a day is so easy to maintain!

[@volbia12]

hold on, this guy who was working an average job with no higher education requirement could just frequently visit the hospital and be kept overnight for monitoring? Where the heck was the money for this coming from? Edit: He's from Scotland apparently which had enacted national publically funded healthcare around 19 years earlier.

[@_s_9920]

I mean it tells you its the UK in the first few minutes mate. Most modern countries allow working class people to access medical services, many have tax funded free-at-the-point-service healthcare and more have semi-subsidised paid healthcare that is affordable and guaranteed for serious issues. Both paid and "free" healthcare can work well in countries with lower corruption and vaguely competent public sectors. The US is a bad example of paid healthcare, the UK is a bad example of "free" healthcare.

The best diet I've found so far is called Natural Hygiene, from a book called Fit For Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. It works by rearranging the way you combine foods, not by calorie restriction. The weight comes off fast, and you feel really good. When you reach your ideal weight, you just stop losing weight, you never have to quit the diet. As a bonus it's also known to promote longevity.

many supplements contain oils and sugars as bulking or carrier agents. Something like fish oil is very calorie dense, I think its likely he was still getting a couple hundred or so calories a day through drinks and supplements

[@NovaAge]

It's a Small Plate, a little text of spiritual guidance. It's written by a monk called Four Cabinets, Eleven Hatchets. It's old, several ages before the Void Fluid revolution. Like most writing from this time it’s quite shrouded in analogies, but the subject is how to shed one of the five natural urges which tie a creature to life. Namely number four, gluttony. It is basically an instruction on how to starve yourself on herbal tea and gravel, but disguised as a poem. Now of course when Void Fluid was discovered these methods proved obsolete, as it was more easy just jumping in a vat of it to effortlessly leave this world behind. There were some horror stories though... That if your ego was big enough, not even the Void Fluid could entirely cross you out, and a faint echo of your pompousness would grandiosely haunt the premises forever. So even when the Void Fluid baths became cheaper, some would still starve and drink the bitter tea.

Now let’s do communion and celiac disease.

[@thedude5295]

I was doing intermittent fasting and went glucose free for years. I felt great and I had a very physical job at the time. Then I started shedding a ton of weight one winter. It got to the point where I was eating over 4,000 calories per day and still losing weight. I was going through Diabetic Keto Acidosis without even knowing what that was. No history of diabetes in my family, but I am now a Type I LADA diabetic. I don't know if my fasting had anything to do with it. I'm just mentioning that these events all happened at the same time.

[@JapaneseAnimalover]

I have always struggled with my weight, but when i finally got my own house i dropped over 50lbs in a year. Turns out eating on my families time instead of when I was hungry and probably stress from a (now realized) toxic environment was why i couldnt lose weight. I do have to be careful however because now i dont have food effectivly on a timer and if i dont pay attention i will just not eat for days which is extra bad because i have reactive hypoglycemia. ( like diabetes but your pancreas is over enthusiastic about its job) so if i do anything strenuous whipe forgetting to eat it will trigger an episode and i can end up bed ridden for the rest of the day after triggering an episode

[@nekomasteryoutube3232]

with my lack of calorie intake the last couple months, I wouldn't be surprised if the only think keeping me alive is 210 lbs or 95 kg of body weigth I dont want to be like this, i dont have issues with my body or throwing up, Im just... not very hungry. and this is playing havoc on my stomach. I now have an ulcer from drinking, taking too much asprin over the years, and now not eating. I've had two ulcer attacks this month.
