Lemonade diet?

Before our last BCA (Body Composition Analysis) a guy in my unit stopped eating for two days. He passed. Barely. I've also heard of the tuna diet, which I think consists of canned tuna and little if anything else.

I'm curious about the 10 lbs of glucose thing. What I just read on wikipedia was that muscles can store up to 2% of their mass as glycogen, with another 120 grams or so stored in the liver. For a guy my size that works out to a maximum of something like a pound and a half.

Side note: I just made my second attempt at a coffee mug microwave poached egg. It came out pretty nice.
