The total calories he consumes in a day is huge: around 6000 calories per day. He also has special water daily. This water is cleaned through a complicated filtration system before he consumes it. On it, he said:
“I have also started to filtrate my water a bit. I think it can have great benefits for my body.”
The cannibal diet
In the series, there are revelations about his eating habits. He states that he looks at the sun in the morning after waking up. Erling says:
“The first thing I do in the morning is to get some sunlight in my eyes — it is good for circadian rhythm.”
He shows off pieces of liver and heart got from his butcher and says:
“You (other people) don’t eat this, but I am concerned with taking care of my body.”
“I think eating quality food that is as local as possible is the most important.”
