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

Fasting: the history, pathophysiology and complications.
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.

Uh.. are you?
i saw this on reddit
1 case reported in march 1973....sounds legit.
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.
brb lifting, taking a multi, and never eating.
Will report back in a year.

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?
Someone took the intermittent fasting consept a bit too far...
Interdasting read, OP. Thanks for posting.
