CJB and most of you are dummies.Read my question again, I think it is hypocritical to say it is right for religion by wrong for non religious reasons. It is the SAME ACT but on one side ppl see you as noble and the other as doing all this harm to yourself.

1200 cals a day? WHAT?????We are not all built the same or have the same height. Are you going to tell a woman 5%26#039;1 and a different woman 5%26#039;11 to eat 1200 cals a day???

Guy who said %26quot;it%26#039;s not healthy%26quot; neither is being the fat kid and always getting picked on. That will hurt your self esteem.2 months ago
GASTRIC BYPASS SHRINKS YOUR STOMACH - yes I know, so then what is the outcome??? LESS calories consumed.Your trying to make it sound really fancy, it isn%26#039;t. It is another form of low calorie diet. So is Atkins/Southbeach etc. Low cals is what most of the diets are. Starch has lot of calories.

i think fasting is not good for body at all. why don%26#039;t you see a nutritionist for weight loss? plus one nutritionist told me no one has to get less than 1200 cals per day. means if you are forcing your self to get less than that amount you will be facing some health problems in the future.if you try too hard too loose weight in a short priod you have to work even harder not to gain it again after that. but if you wisely try to loose your weight you don%26#039;t need to worry about gaining weight again.
All i am trying to say is fasting is not a good and wise idea to loose weight but if you still want to use it for weight loss go ahead it%26#039;s your own choice after all.
Good luck. 50% 3 Votes

Fasting and dieting are different. If your body goes with out food for an extended period of time then it goes into strarvation mode which essentially lowers your metabolism to the degree that once you do eat something your body processes it slower in an attempt to hold on to as many calories as possible making losing weight quite hard. Though it does sound like it would work not eating and getting thin you cant underestimate your bodies built in survival guide.

when you don%26#039;t eat for long periods of time, your body will begin to store fat. and you%26#039;ll probably grow more body hair which usually isn%26#039;t considered attractive. kind of contradicts the whole weight loss thing.
and fasting for religion and anorexia are two totally and COMPLETELY different thing. It is a spiritual experience and not meant to encourage vanity. 0% 0 Votes -
It%26#039;s very, very unhealthy to lose a lot of weight in a short period time, and it%26#039;s a proven fact that low calorie diets wills slow down your metabolism, which will actually make you GAIN weight. You need to keep eating the same amount of calories, but with healthier foods, and EXERCISE MORE!

People have so overblown the whole anorexia thing, that they assume that you%26#039;re suddenly going to be one of them, if you mentioned skipping even a single meal.
Fasting occasionally is good for you, as long as you don%26#039;t do it for too long, or if you have a blood sugar problem. 0% 0 Votes -
all fasting for religious and political purpose lead to permanent damage to Human system --- there is no other go, ---if the fating is much prolonged more than 3 days without water even-in your fasting for weight loss it is only ski ping one meal or part of it --this type fasting leads to hyper acidity instead of taking your own decision you better consult a dieting specialist to guide you reach you purpose

Jesus didn%26#039;t fast because he was fat.
Moses didn%26#039;t fast because he was fat.
Fasting has nothing to do with weight loss and everything to do with being humble to God. What you are doing is called %26quot;dieting%26quot; or %26quot;starving%26quot;, not fasting.
You dishonor God when you claim you fast for any other reason but to honor Him. 0% 0 Votes
