How to starve in style.....kind of

[Skean Dhude]

Feeling pretty good. Is that the same as seeing the light. Your body can react in different ways. What were they like at day 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 25. I bet good dioesn't describe it.

there was the cases of the conscientious objector in WW11 that volunteered to starve ,so were put on half ration for four weeks then 1/4 ration for 20 weeks ,and they did say that there was a good and well feeling about them ,but dont think its a good idea to starve your self

Keeping warm also be needs to be factored in as the uk is not always the warmest place!

[Tartar Horde]

Once again you fellows are allowing your fanatical antifanaticism to derail an informative thread.

Almost all religions have accounts of long fasts, that is not unusual or unexpected.

We also have the documented accounts of fasts in the historical context, both voluntary and involuntary,

Gahandi endured at least one 21 day fast in protest of British policy.

Several of the IRA prisoners have fasted unto death in the past 50 years.

During WW2 the Jewish doctors kept records for use against their tormentors at war's end.

By all scientific accounts the body shuts down and goes into starvation mode after only a few days, conserving calories and operating my effeciently on the calories it has. All modern diets warn of this characteristic.

Just keep in mind that most of us are overweight. At 3500 calories per pound of fat, with our bodies needing 2,000 calories per day to sustain, we will not achieve "normal body weight" until 15 days into the fast!

Possibly longer if our bodies have gone into starvation mode and are workign more efficiently

---

That takes into account starting at ten pounds over recommended weight.

The heavier one is the longer they will last.

That is why it is easy to put on and hard to take off! Our bodies are designed for these "feast and famine cycles". Modern men simply have more feast than famine to endure.

It is a simple math calculation to find how long one would last before the body fat index started leaching brain tissue for nutrition!

---

One is in the "danger zone" at 2-5% body fat.

Figure how many calories one would have to shed before reaching that level and do the math.

Adding back in calories extends the process, naturally.

I know after the juice diet ( a diet where you only drink fruit juice) when you eat solids it shoots through your system so fast it is best to eat on the loo
