It;s now a little more than 3 months since I halted my starvation project. I’ve regained 30 lbs, some from bulging thigh muscles from all the cycling I’m doing and some from other not-so-firm bulges, the result of my body panicking and storing fat in case I decide to be an idiot and starve myself again. A bike store near me called Bike Doctor equipped me to speed my recovery and help me rebuild muscle and cardio capacity through low-impact [...]

Our stomachs growl for a couple of reasons, but according to gastroentologists it’s mostly because our stomachs move and they contain different amounts of air & water. When full, your stomach is kind of like [...]
“It’s important to watch what you eat. Otherwise, how are you going to get it into your mouth ?” ~ Matt Diamond 221.4 lbs I got into this project voluntarily, choosing to starve myself for 100 days to show the physical effects on the human body and make people think about body image issues. This comes with a lot of mail from readers saying I won’t understand the true nature of it as the emotional aspects are far worse. This is [...]
