fast every other day
Fasting 3 years ago

I fasted every other day for three to four months without fail in 2003, eating only a meal and a half on days I did eat. Was on the “caloric restriction” fast, less calories, longer life. Lost 30-40 pounds, was then put in the psych hospital and put on a regular diet.

Would like to fast every other day for eternity, starting sometime soon but I get too much flack from other people when I do it. If humans didn’t need to eat, If humans didn’t have the biological necessity of eating, I’d never, ever, eat.

interesting...

I don’t do it because I hate eating… I do it because food tastes better when you are really hungry. That, and weight loss. In high school I had an eating disorder and fasted often.

I recently decided I need to lose the weight I gained after high school. I’ve actually started on this goal – I’m on my third fasting day of the cycle. What sucks is when you don’t drink enough water. I woke up yesterday and was unable to see, for all of the spots in front of my eyes… and my ears buzzed. I had to grope my way to the kitchen to drink water & then lie down on the floor and wait for it to stop.

booksbooksbooks is feeling very lucky

i think

that aside from that being a troubling side effect, your body is telling you it might not be such a great idea. you need to intake some calories and fats for your body to function. you can still fast with liquids- juices and broths- and raw fruits and veggies as your primary source of food on non-fasting days. more troubling to me is your reference to your past issue with an eating disorder. doesn’t this behavior seem a bit alarming to you as well?
