>In medieval Japan, this tradition developed a process for Sokushinbutsu, which a monk completed over about 3,000 days to ten years.[4] It involved a strict diet called mokujikigyo (literally, "eating a tree").[6][5] The diet abstained from any cereals, and relied on pine needles, resins and seeds found in the mountains, which would eliminate all fat in the body.[6][7] Increasing rates of fasting and meditation would lead to starvation. The monks would slowly reduce then stop liquid intake, thus dehydrating the body and shrinking all organs.[6] The monks would die in a state of jhana (meditation) while chanting the nenbutsu (a mantra about Buddha), and their body would become naturally preserved as a mummy with skin and teeth intact without decay and without the need of any artificial preservatives.[6][7] Many Buddhist Sokushinbutsu mummies have been found in northern Japan and estimated to be centuries old, while texts suggest that hundreds of these cases are buried in the stupas and mountains of Japan.[5] These mummies have been revered and venerated by the laypeople of Buddhism.[5]

they don't "eliminate" the fat.
they are pretty much eating nothing so their body uses up what little fat they have.
it's just anorexia but they eat fucking trees for no reason.

Spend enough time in isolation on an island and weird shit starts happening.

The guys that properly mummified have a lot of poisonus deposit in their bodies. Something from their water source, I can't remember what.
Anyway, it's not DNP, it's a slow starvation and pickling your insides in pine oils and who knows what else to kill bacteria.

I know pine needles have lots of vitamin C, and pine nuts are also pretty nutritious, but they are basically just giving themselves just enough to stay alive while starving themselves. I don't think any of those things will help "burn" fat.
