You told me before you had a piece of swamp land to sell to me, which implied it was impossible. Now you're telling me it's simply impractical. Which is it? I don't do the whole changing goal posts thing very well. Why is this Scottish man special?

And if they did lose a big unhealthy amount of weight in a short period of time it would be gained right back after the fast was broken.

The gentleman in question gained back 7 kg only, if you bothered to look up.
"His weight dropped from 207 kilograms to 82 kilograms. Some five years later, he had regained only 7 kilograms."

Also, why is losing that amount of weight unhealthy? Did some mainstream quack tell you in some hand waving explanation that it's "too fast"?

Hanging your hat on one study involving one person is not exactly a sound decision. But hey, go for it.

You are backpeddling quite a bit. First it was impossible, then it's impractical, now it's the n=1 argument. You missed the dozens of people on that page who've done the same thing. Since the guy sells nothing, what would be his angle if those before and after pictures were somehow untruthful? He even pays people to lose weight, at $5 per lb. This is what happens when you judge rather than read.
