Re: anyone who has fasted please help!

also wouldn't fasting HELP deal with eating disorders?

Eating the wrong kinds of foods could hardly be classified as an eating disorder in the true sense of the word. You can fast and lose weight, but if you go back to your old habits of eating fattening foods all hours of the day and night, you will gain back what you lost. Better to change the eating habits first.

might i remind that any of us who engage in fasting would probably get labelled with an "eating disorder" if we were to confide this to a mainstream doctor.

I think most here on this forum have had enough of what main stream doctors have to say. That's why we're here. That's not to say that doctors don't have a place for traumatic situations, but most stick pretty much to what they learned in medical school, just recently accepting accupuncture, and chiropractic health systems.

After as many fasts as I have done I wouldn't care if they thought it was an eating disorder. I know better.
