frmr0317 and I have decided to run a test on survival tabs. We think they show great promise as a survival supplement and in extreme cases where no food is available, they should be able to sustain us without too much weight loss.

The recommended supplement dosage is 12 tabs per day (240 total calories). In a survival situation, it says to increase or decrease intake to compensate for the abundance or lack of food.
There was a gentleman that claims to have survived on nothing but 18 - 20 of these per day for 7 weeks with only 4 lbs of weight lost. The reason for the small amount of weight lost is supposed to be due to no loss of calories or nutrients to waste. They claim they are 100% absorbed by the body.
The current plan is to start this test on Wednesday February 15th and run for 7 consecutive days. I am 38 and he is 25. We are both in good health with no issues to report. Before we begin we will provide weight and waste size.
Starting at 6 am on Wednesday, we will consume 24 tabs per day (1 every 40 minutes). The only other thing we will be allowed to consume is water and coffee.
We will both make daily entries in this thread to report how we feel, the difficulty of going without eating, hunger levels, any weight loss and of course anything unusual (like the expected stoppage of bowel movements since nothing is wasted).
If there is anything else you would like us to measure as a baseline before starting please let us know. Any questions you have about our condition or reports, please feel free to ask.
One thing to note as well. frmr0317 began P90x last week and plans to continue uninterrupted during this test. I plan on doing nothing unusual in my activity. He will report if he skips workouts due to energy levels etc. I may or may not try to increase my energy output halfway through the experiment based on how I feel. Look for more posts to come.
