Obligatory: The guy who did it did an AMA and says you should absolutely not do it ever and it was a bad idea. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1o5ndh/ia

  I think that's a different case than the one Ellyagg was talking about. I can't find a link, but that fellow spent most of a year living in a hospital, under daily medical supervision, with a careful ration of vitamin and protein supplements and maybe small portions of gruel or other minimal food, I forget. It sounds like the guy in your link was just straight-up starving himself at home, which seems like a much worse idea. It's an interesting story, though, so thanks for sharing it!
