Angus Barbieri's fast

He subsisted on tea, coffee, sparkling water, vitamins and yeast extract while living at home in Tayport, Scotland, frequently visiting Maryfield Hospital for medical evaluation.

[2] Agostino “Angus” Barbieri was born in Tayport, Scotland to Italian parents who ran a fish and chip shop.

When Barbieri traveled to the 1960–61 British Home Championship at Wembley Stadium in April 1961, he needed a group of people to push and pull him through the door of the bus.

[4] For 382 days, from 14 June 1965 through 30 June 1966, he consumed only vitamins, electrolytes, an unspecified amount of yeast (a source of all essential amino acids) and zero-calorie beverages such as tea, coffee, and sparkling water, although he occasionally added milk and/or sugar to the beverages, especially during the final weeks of the fast.

After 1 year and 26 days without food Angus Barbieri ate his first solid meal at 10 AM on 11 July 1966: a boiled egg and a slice of buttered bread.

He celebrated his achievement by going on a vacation in Spain for three weeks,[3] and a 1973 study found that Barbieri maintained a healthy weight of 196 pounds (89 kg).
