>>444913 sure, i agree with people taking an active interest in alternative diets, and giving it a good effort.
For a random, fit, member of the general populous/and or aspiring Buddhist monk, sure, whatever, likely wont create much of an impact either direction. but for an athletic crowd, this just d/n work. for fat people, this just d/n work. sure you will lose weight during the starving times, but your body is fantastic at adaptation, and will adjust by lowering your own metabolism and derive energy from muscle tissue, as it is a source of calories AND reduces total metabolic demand, making your body even better and more efficient at starving.
still, how can 'eat nothing for some large amount of time' be better than just eating fruits and veggies over the same time period? both are low/non existent in calories (not going to make you fat). but one has nutrition and maintains the metabolism, while the other is pure catabolism, with metabolic reduction, in both the short term and long term (through muscle tissue catabolized for energy/efficiency)
and I havent even touched on the systemic processes that occur once food is reintroduced into a starvation state body or the elevated catecholamines and stress hormones.
