Breatharianism

[lilith]

Hi! I am wondering does anyone here have an experience with breatharianism, and would you please be so kind to share it with us?
I feel very drawn to it, but I'm miles away from being capable of trying even anything similar to it. I've read things on the internet of course.
I haven't found a thread on this forum about it and I'm very interested if any sf member has a personal experience. I would very much appreciate details and techniques you used. Maybe just doing some of that would be very beneficial. Why did you do it, how did you prepare, how it felt and where it went to?
I'm not advising anyone to do it and it's not a thing to joke about. Just to be clear about it...
Thank you so much for your time. Blessings.

Hi lilith. This topic came up a couple years back; it was the first I had heard of it. So I researched it a bit. I found an interesting video of a couple who practiced this. I incorporated one of the tips they offered into my own daily life. They mentioned slowly watering down fruit juice until they were drinking just water. I did the same to cut down on my fruit juice consumption. I now drink juice that's watered down with a liter of water. It's actually a great way to ensure one drinks lots of water each day, it's yummy. I eat very little now, but I do still eat vegetables and fruit. And I fast and cleanse several times a year. It's a facinating topic, as I have learned from my own experience how little the body actually needs as far as food goes. I probably eat 1/4 of what I used to eat years ago. The key for me though is drinking lots of water; I can't imagine any diet that would allow one to survive without drinking water.

Baile, I ate an entirely raw diet and stopped drinking water altogether, but did add a cup or so to a green smoothie I ate every day.
All the water I got was from the fruit, vegetables, and lettuces I ate and I was completely hydrated- I ate a high volume to be sure.

I could conceptually understand a breatharian diet from an intellectual standpoint, but I couldn't map out moving toward that from a raw food diet..
The high physical vibration that I was operating at was just this side of unbearably uncomfortable as it was. I didn't seek discipline that may have eased this phenomenon, but I imagine that it exists.

I ate a raw vegan diet for a year-and-a-half, and economic conditions made it unsustainable, but I would encourage anyone who has the means and desire to eat a revolutionary diet to give it a try.

The results of really turning into a "breathatarian" and eating nothing are the same as those who go on a hunger strike in prison....they lose weight till they either DIE .....or start eating again!

Hi Fremen. Wouldn't eating vegan be easier economically? I used to buy packaged organic soups, and now make my own. By making my own homemade soups, I save around 80% of what I used to spend. (Plus my soups are way more thick and hearty and filling.) I agree with your revolutionary diet comment, it really is a paradigm-changer. I for example would never have believed how much a simple glass of water can rejuvenate and fill one up, once the body becomes acclimated to eating just whole foods, and very little.

Hi Lucky. Tobi asked you in the Vegan thread to please not post if the topic was of no interest to you, and if all you had to add were negative responses. I'm going to ask you to please honor that request, otherwise I'll ask the mods to get involved here. Thanks.

For starters...this is NOT the vegan forum...which I try hard to stay out of....this is the health forum...something I'm quite interested in.

And my comment wasn't so much negative as it was a warning about the consequences of trying to survive on NO FOOD!!!!

You want to tell the mods....feel free.

It's a good question, Lilith. I have only heard that word on sit-coms or movies and it always is used as a joke - why? Because it's an extreme thing. Fwiw, something extreme like that can't help but be met with derision but I do admire your openness to at least ferret out what you can - human curiosity is one of the best things about us.

If you do find out information that encourages you to try it, I'm sure you'll use your own best judgment to know if it's good for YOU. Good luck!

P.S. Here's a link from what it says about it on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inedia

...which basically says it's a lethal pseudoscience. Buddha gave up his fast when his health became so bad that he could barely move around because he was so malnourished. fwiw.
