Re: A question about long-term water fasting. Is this alright?
The amount of meals you eat in a day is CHOICE. It is the quality of the food and the nutrition that you take in that is important. You are talking to a forum where people regularly skip 30 meals plus and up to 90 or more than double that in some cases with not only none of the symptoms described here but with the result of resuming eating with far better health than before 'skipping' all those meals.
Your message is totally irrelevant, you did not read the link given just the title and went off on a totally wild tangent based on your prejudices. This is not a dieting forum.
Fasting is an ancient method of healing, probably the very first method of healing as it is natural to all animals, or many at least I cannot vouch for all. And the concept of eating three meals a day is not natural but a civilised invention. In the wild we would most likely be eating only one large raw meal each day, such as gorillas do for example.
The only people that gain from us not skipping breakfast are industries such as the dairy, egg, cereal and pork for example. And they only gain in their pockets not their health. If you eat a big stodgey meal before bed and wake up feeling like eating again it is just a hair of the dog reflex, eating more to wake you up. Eat lightly always and you wake refreshed and certainly without any immediate hunger, and then it is more natural to not eat right away but later in the morning after doing some exercise or work and really working up an appetite.
Anyway, back to the fasting forum, I saw it around here somewhere. :p
