FYI: This review article cites the study. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

Bull****? Pretty sure he'd be dead, besides no one has the willpower to not eat anything that long or am I missing something and he was fed?

220lbs (of fat) over 382 days is roughly a 2000cal day deficit. Interesting....
I'm curious as to how his hormones were affected.

Heard about this before, I'm sure the taubsians wish this case didn't exist. Also very impressive that 5 years later he had maintained most of his weight loss.

He wasn't the first studied and many after him - do a tiny bit of research and learn.

I doubt he lifted or did any exercise at all.

Which may be compatible with healthy weight loss at 400+ lbs, but I feel as if the jury's out for sub-200.

This would end terribly for you. Why not just try the Auschwitz diet? it worked for 6million+ people in Germany back in the 30's and 40's. Not quite a fasting diet and there is exercise involved.

If everyone at the camps had lifted and somehow gotten shredded, would the Nazis have gotten upset and fed them more?
