    This guy fasted for a year but consumed some essentials.

    I think if you consume nothing but water you will die at some point.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri's_fast

    For 382 days ending on 30 June 1966, he consumed only vitamins, electrolytes, an unspecified amount of yeast (a source of all essential amino acids) and zero-calorie beverages such as tea, coffee, and sparkling water, although he occasionally consumed small amounts of milk and/or sugar with the beverages, especially during the final weeks of the fast.

      VERY important to note that he did this while in close communication with a doctor, consuming vitamins and other essential nutrients. No one should try to do this alone.

          there’s a good chunk of hateful losers on the internet who just like to blame weight struggles on people’s “failure mindset.”

          not only are they assholes ignorant of basic medicine they are also fucking dangerous because they essentially encourage eating disorders.
