A 456 lbs. Man underwent a clinically supervised fast for 382 days. He took multivitamins and lost 275 lbs.!
His case was part of an experiment made by the University Department of Medicine, Dundee, Scotland. It was carried by W.K. Stewart and Laura W. Fleming. What they were trying to prove is that fasting therapy for the obese is one of the best treatments that medicine has to offer.
The 27 year old patient weighted 456 lb. (207 kg). During the 382 days of his fast vitamin supplements were given daily as a ‘multivite’, vitamin C and yeast for the first 10 months. He was given supplements throughout the rest of his treatment in order to compensate what his body needed.
They were able to make him lose 275 lbs. Which brought him down to 181 lbs.! And proving this way that fasting (combined with clinical supervision of course) is a great way to help obese patients.
But remember, eating healthy and exercising regularly will make you avoid obesity at all times, so once you are done with reading OMG facts, get up, turn off your computer and go out for a nice run!
