“The Fasting Fatman”

I recently came across a youtube channel called “The Fasting Fatman” with a man claiming he’s 130 days into a water fast. He seems relatively sane and looks mostly healthy so I’m wondering what the deal is. It seems like it has to be fake but the audience is buying it. Thoughts ??

    The Fatman is the first recording Fats Domino ever made. The very best cover (far better than the original) is by a Swedish band called The Refreshments. Johan Blohm is beyond cool.

    From memory the Irish hunger strikers only lasted something like 60 something days before they died....

    Fake news me thinks and its utter madness anyone promoting this.

    Did you actually read this? Yikes!

    He did this under close (almost daily) hospital supervision and was given vitamin supplements and plasma concentrates all along.

    No thanks.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if this thread gets locked. Such a weight loss is beyond insane.

    Yeah he very easily could have died from cardiac arrest, stroke etc even while under medical supervision.

    But it's not impossible, just a really bad idea.
