Thanks @chuck2u32! :)
Fasting is a huge deal and can solve a lot of problems for many other people like yourself. I typically fast until about noon or 1 P.M. while only drinking water, coffee and/or tea as well.
I'll also have to check out Dr. Fungs books, I haven't read them before! I've done a few extended fasts as well (more so for curiosity and other benefits than for diet) and I've had a lot of friends say they work as well. As long as it's done with care, I think it can provide a lot of great benefits! Thank you for reading and leaving your thoughts and experience, it's great to hear from you!
Thank you for the reply and upvote! Most people fear missing even one meal yet the longest supervised fast without calorie intake was 382 days by Angus Barbieri in 1965-66. Take care, sir!
Anytime my friend, it's great to hear your thoughts! I agree, people have an irrational sense of when we actually need to eat. David Blaine also did a public stunt where he had nothing but water while suspended in a glass box in a public area for something like 33 days (I forgot the exact number)
I remember Blaine's stunt. There were many stunt fasters in the early 1900's. They charged admission. I'll bet those were exciting events watching people do nothing ; )
