Fasting in order to purify the spirit and increase one’s spiritual powers, apparently works.

Christians have been known to fast for 3 days to 21 days or even longer, although with water.

Some of the most powerful conversion stories came from revelations received only because a person purified themselves via fasting. Not reading the bible or talking to preachers, just fasting. No food for 1 day. Then 3 days. Working at it like a martial artist or athlete. All the way to 7 days. With water or juicing only.

Others are no water fasts of 1-2 days. Not sure which one hurts more.

My latest diet consists of coffee and heavy whipping cream. I make about 25 oz of coffee in the morning, which I used to drink black, and mix in about 1/4 cup of the heavy cream. It absolutely kills my appetite until two or three in the afternoon, when I have a snack and start thinking about dinner. My HDL has gone up about 30% in the process, although I don’t know if the diet is the cause.

I have always found a “fast” diet very effective. I can lose over a pound a week no problem with it. Wnen doing it I might eat only a small sandwich for lunch and reduce dinner to half my normal, effectively reducing my intake to a third of normal.

But going without food has never been much of an issue for me. I sometimes forget to each lunch (and I never eat breakfast),

Just renew their Federal grant applications. That gives them their salaries, enlarges their c.v. s, and makes tenure more likely.
From the ‘heart’ link: flies with hearts are heartless, viz: “Insects don’t even really have a circulatory system. They have no blood vessels. Blood just squishes around the hollow places in their body. When necessary, it is forced to move from one area to another by a large central tube, which is the equivalent of a heart.”
