Re: Fasting for Gratitude

I finished reading the first article link you gave. I was just confused over how many days to fast, and it gave me the answer. It said that one day gives the body rest, three days is minor breakdown, and five to seven days is overhaul. Then I'll go for the five to seven days. I also like the idea of doing something weekly and monthly. I am going to fast every other week from Thursday to Sunday. Four days. Monday to Wednesday, I will eat one-half of a meal a day. Then on the other every other week, I will fast Wednesday to Sunday and eat Monday and Tuesday. It also said in there that three days offsets the immune system, but I think you're on to something when you said eating after three days stops autolysis right when it's starting.

But I disagree with the author that low metabolism is bad. Yes, it will make you fat if you revert back to eating more, but you shouldn't do that. You should eat less. Low metabolism actually makes you live longer. So why wouldn't you want to eat less?

I am only halfway through the second link, but its description of plants and animals going through autolysis while being a pupal, seed, embryo, or regenerating or absorbing a tail is pretty interesting. I'll take a break and read the rest later. Hit me with more links to read or watch, kmg4! I'm loving these!

I did some research and found that what I am going through is called postural hypotension. I ate like 1,500 calories today with lots of sodium wanting to correct that, but no, I still get it after eating for eleven hours and sleeping after each time eating! I just woke up and saw stars and black again! I'm really afraid of them! That's why I ate so much. Do you think this is detox? Tweet
