An American couple, both high school teachers, decided to try an experiment for a month – they wanted to see how they would fare spending only $1 a day per person on food.
For breakfast they survived on plain oatmeal every day. For lunch they had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on homemade bread. Dinner comprised just beans, rice and tortillas. They couldn’t afford fruits and vegetables and other fresh food.
The guy lost 14 pounds in 30 days and the lady said she felt ‘tired and drained’ and rather ‘cranky’ pretty often.
This is one experiment I wouldn’t even bother to try ‘cos I wouldn’t even survive one morning! And realistically, it’s not doable in Singapore. I can’t see how really.
