With help from doctors who made sure he still got proper vitamins and such
“Hey Angus, wanna grab some lunch?”
“Oh no thanks, I ate last year”
“..he consumed only vitamins, electrolytes, an unspecified amount of yeast..”
I bet it was like 250kg of yeast
This is what Dr. Now means when he tells the 600 pound people they’ve already eaten enough for the next year and don’t need anymore
He’s Scottish. Little known fact; a Scott can hybernate for years at a time, sustaining themselves only off the hate for the British in their hearts.
If you fast, make sure you know the risks of the type of fast you’re trying to complete.
If you’re going for a prolonged fast… it’s important to do your research and to make sure the water you consume has sodium and potassium mixed in it, or else you can literally die.
Talk to a doctor, research your subject as this isn’t for that faint of heart, and even when you do it the correct way, you still feel like you’re dying of hunger.

Well he died at 50 so I dunno if this was the best solution
under supervision of doctors and supplements essential Vitamins
While consuming vitamins and minerals necessary for such a fast, yes
He survived only because he didn’t have to eat Scottish food.
Reverse the pictures and it’s ‘feasted’ for over a year.
I think he had an advantage to start
He’d eaten a years worth of meals in advance.
I misread fasted for farted
I don’t know man, I’d consider being hungry as fuck for a year as an “ill effect.”
surely there is no way his fat is enough to last whole year?
Don’t fast while drinking alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scottish food can’t be that bad
I admire her willpower.
Any person who has gained enough fat, can indeed survive off of said fat… You’ll have to regain muscle when you’re done losing said fat though, muscle goes first…
Looks like it did him some good
Amazing
Doctors hate this one weird trick.
1kg of fat yields approx 8,000 calories. Typical daily requirement is 2,000 but let’s say that with minimal activity, you could survive on only 8,000 a week.
Wait it’s actually looking plausible ( not likley at all but borderline plausible) on paper because 52 weeks , 52kg of fat
I thought I would do some quick clacs and reveal this to be implausible but here we are.
Did he still have to shit while fasting? Imagine not having to shit for a year and then suddenly have to do that again.
Died at 52, cause of death was never released
The godfather of vitamin girls them girls didn’t know they have.
Thought he looked like Phil Dunphy in the second photo and now I can’t unsee it
Imagine the money you would save!
What an amazing indravidual
Me, it’s what’s for dinner.
