Anyways, the fun for us is to try to make you lose right?  EDIT: yeah the health risk probably makes this idea more stupid than the "not jack off" one. May I offer some Rhubarb pie? ![[image loading]](http://www.relishmag.com/asset/file/art/44/21644/01c216.jpg) | ||

It's a real good way to come to terms and face your desires. Hunger for food is incredibly strong. It feels like you are going insane. And it's not that the body actually needs the food at that moment. It's just your brain makes you desire it above anything else. Really, we eat to fulfill our desires. It was nothing to do with our body's actual needs. At least not in the western world. Almost nobody there eats because they would suffer damage if they wouldn't. | ||

I'm skeptical if starving yourself will be healhty. | ||

Almost nobody there eats because they would suffer damage if they wouldn't. Did you forget that humans die when they don't eat? :D It's not a western fad of luxury and convenience to want to eat regularly. Your body will actually function worse when it hasn't been fed for awhile. I would guess you have an eating disorder (or could easily develop one) based on the tone of your post, and you should be careful in the future. | ||

Your body will actually function worse when it hasn't been fed for awhile. I would guess you have an eating disorder (or could easily develop one) based on the tone of your post, and you should be careful in the future. wtf lol I am just saying fasting for a few days isn't unhealthy. And no. No normal person in the western world eats because otherwise they would starve. We eat because we are hungry. Not because we are afraid to be undernourished. Three days doesn't change anything. You will have enough glucose stored up in the form of glycogen. Then slowly you will start to use an increasing percentage of fat for energy. After only about 3 weeks without food, depending on how much fat reserves you had, your body will start to 'eat itself' and burn protein for energy. And even then you can survive for up to 70 days. But of course then with severe permanent damage. But this isn't about not eating for 3 weeks, obviously. It's about not eating for 3 days or so. Plus, after a week you will no longer be as hungry anyway. So there's no reason to continue beyond that. Just because I am fighting ignorance that doesn't mean I am supporting anorexia or something. Actually, I was disgusted by the idea that I am suddenly supposed to be an anorexia supporter. Also, there are these myths about fasting being healthy for the body. Like those detox rumours Those are false as well. As long as it's only 2 to 4 days it has little effect except that you are confronted with intense hunger. There may actually be long term benefits if it ends up lowering your average calories intake. But that's something else. | ||

I just finished a 2 week fast eating only 3 pieces of veg per day. 2 carrots and 1 cucumber. I swear I nearly fainted when I driving home from work. Don't do that. Don't fast for 2 weeks. Especially not while you are working like usual.

I know someone who fasts 1 day a week. It doesn't clean up anything according to research. Your organs don't benefit from a 'break'. Fasting one day a week, nothing wrong with that. | ||

So yeah, go for it! I used to have challenges like how many days I could stay awake, or how many days I could go in a row with 2 hours sleep (more fun than just staying awake, cause after 48 hours of not sleeping at all it's basically physiologically impossible to stay awake anymore). Go go random challenge! | ||

I didn't say you were an anorexia supporter, I said it sounds like you have an eating disorder =/ Like you're accusing westerners of being greedy pigs (not your words exactly, of course, but it seemed implied) for eating regularly lol. Sure your body can survive with no permanent ill effects if you fast for 3 days, but it won't function nearly as well as it would on a full stomach. Have you ever tried playing a sport without eating earlier in the day? You feel like you're going to pass out if you don't stop, and maybe even vomit. The fact is that it's stupid not to eat regularly if you can. The body stores fat for emergencies, not because it's practical to use them up all the time. | ||

I can at least see how you can interpret what I said wrongly and think it would support someone who has anorexia in their behavior. But this, I never ever said anything about myself. Sure your body can survive with no permanent ill effects if you fast for 3 days, but it won't function nearly as well as it would on a full stomach. Just because it doesn't use the most effective metabolism, that doesn't mean the body doesn't function properly. Have you ever tried playing a sport without eating earlier in the day? You feel like you're going to pass out if you don't stop, and maybe even vomit. The fact is that it's stupid not to eat regularly if you can. Yes And I have no problems with it. Sure, you won't perform as well as you would with fresh energy, but that's about it. Vomiting? How can you vomit without food in your stomach? Anyway, I never vomited anyway. The body stores fat for emergencies, not because it's practical to use them up all the time. The body stores glycogen and fat because it doesn't expect 3 meals a day, every day. And it can digest it's own organs and muscles after 3 weeks without food in case of emergency. You bring up sports. I never ever mentioned that before. You shouldn't fast while exercising. Our urge for food does not reflect our actual need. And that's what fasting is about. Apparently you are unaware of this. Sure, eating 3 times a day fresh raw vegetables is the best. This is not about what eating pattern is the best. It's about fasting. | ||

I heard you can only go about 5 days without water if you don't waste anything, but if it's a survival situation you can only go about 2-3 days and in a desert about 24 hours. (Man vs. Wild, anyone? :D) | ||

I mean, something that accomplishes nothing and is fairly uncomfortable I would consider less productive than accomplishing something that thousands of people set their mind on accomplishing... but yeah I can still see why it's funny. | ||
