A Life-Changing Decision
In 1965, Angus Barbieri, a 27-year-old man from Scotland, weighed 456 pounds (207 kg) and sought medical help to lose weight. Under the supervision of doctors at Maryfield Hospital in Dundee, he made an extraordinary decision to embark on a medically supervised fast.
382 Days Without Solid Food
Amazingly, Angus fasted for 382 days, from June 1965 to July 1966. He lived on water, tea, coffee, and occasional vitamin supplements. Despite not eating solid food for over a year, he continued with daily activities, visiting the hospital regularly to monitor his health.
A Stunning Transformation
At the end of his fast, Angus had lost a staggering 276 pounds (125 kg), bringing his weight down to 180 pounds (82 kg). He returned to a normal diet cautiously and reportedly felt well. His case remains one of the most extreme instances of a medically supervised fast.
A Remarkable Achievement
Angus Barbieri’s fast is recognized in medical history as one of the longest recorded periods a person has gone without solid food. His story gained attention worldwide and still fascinates people to this day for its sheer determination and medical significance.
