Call them wacky or smart; you have to hand it to these people who lived their lives in the most usual way possible. While some like the children without internet access could be a good thing, others hoped to achieve some form of personal satisfaction in leading their lives in contrast to the modern world. These little self styled experiments have also gone on to inspire others to do the same although not all are recommended to do so. Here are 10 people who abided by unusual life experiments that changed their lifestyle completely.

And she wore it for 3 years continuously. But before you go ughh, did she wash it? It wasn’t the same piece of clothes but the same outfit much like a uniform which she chose for herself. Matilda kahl purchased several white shirts and pairs of black trousers which she wore every day to work. In this way, she solved her daily routine of deciding what to wear.
She only kept the fancy stuff for socializing and on weekends when she went for a night out. For Matilda, there is no time wasted in the morning pouring over a wardrobe, the experiment helped her save a lot of time and energy to focus on other things like a healthier breakfast or meet with the family.

Andrew Taylor became a potato guy eating nothing but potatoes for a year. He went on to show the world what happens when your diet consists of nothing but potatoes. Taylor from Victoria Australia told reporters that it was his desire to lose weight that made him go on the extreme diet. He actually lost 50 kgs in 12 months. Previous to starting the diet, Andrew weighed 151 kg and ate a lot of junk food including ice cream and pizzas. Once he started the potato diet, he would take his own potatoes to parties, ordered only potatoes in restaurants and also microwaved potatoes in hotel rooms.
Although no doctor will recommend such an extreme diet and will always advocate a healthy balance of carbs, protein, and fats, some experts feel it wasn’t all that bad. Taylor ate 3-4 kgs of potatoes every day. Although potatoes are a rich source of vitamin C, carbohydrate, protein and amino acids to fight disease, they also contain a carbohydrate that causes spikes and drips in blood sugar levels creating a strain on insulin and inviting a risk of diabetes.
