endorphins
Why do you say that as if it negates the experience? Yes, our moods are tied to brain chemistry. That's why drugs work. What's your point here?
that your body is releasing endorhins to cover the pain of fasting
if im starving in the mountains for a week-- this is good for me? i don't get it... so far nobody has offered evidence to the contrary
i said i wasn't criticizing
i like to do healthy things for myself
but so fr all i see is the logic that i should smoke crack (because it feels good) (massive generalization)
What's the problem though? If people want to do it, that's fine.
Don't you think its good to do things that test your resolve and self-control?

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FASTING AND STARVING!
I think fasting is a great experience
and endorphins are released moreso when eating chocolate or drinking coffee...

Personally, I would start eating more broccoli if I ate badly for a while instead of fasting... Seems easier.
Get a doctors opinion before you do that...

Yes. Everyone should try just 1 hit of crack. 
Seriously though, passing out from low blood sugar levels is no joke. Sure, your blood sugar will correct itself. It's what breaks your fall that sucks.

If you pass out from fasting, you need to see a doctor. You got anemia or some shit.

I'm not really going to argue this issue.
But having a drop in blood sugar when you haven't eaten in a long time is very common. And low blood sugar can most definitely cause you to faint. It's really just something to be cognizant of.

Apparently, anything who experiences hypoglycemia also "got anemia or some shit."

good luck man -- the 1st and last days were the only ones where i actually experienced hunger pains.
just keep your fluid intake up and a positive attitude and i think you'll enjoy it!

Unless you have a lot of body fat, you'll probably be emaciated. I never understood fasting. It isn't remotely spiritual. Neglecting your body is the complete opposite.
