Some interesting thoughts on fasting. In India the old Sadhus who live in the mountains and who many claim to be well into their 90 to 120th year look extremely young. I have done a lot of fasting and look at least 10 years younger than my age. In reading a book recently on growth hormone the doctor stated that fasting increases the quantity of growth hormone in the body. This may have something to do with it besides the old idea of cleansing and purification.
A good way to do a fast is to have a good size meal at mid-day then eat nothing the rest of the day. When you wake up the next day you have already gone almost 24 hrs. At this point ketosis begins to kick in which is a natural appetite suppressant. I always find the first 24 hrs the most difficult. After that its easy. Dick Gregory the black comedian went 5 years on liquids and routinely ran the Boston Marathon race. He has written a number of books on the subject.
