My husband who doesn't require the protein I do has always stopped eating when he doesn't feel well. I just eat less if I can't taste it because of congestion or sense imbalance but never stop eating. My only familiarity with fasting is most Native American tribes do fasting during celebrations, then feast after. Longer water fasts are only for male initiation into manhood or ceremony at a specific age where a vision, indication to life purpose is hoped to be learned. Nature gives females, womanhood with first menses, moontime. There seems to be gender as well as spiritual reason here just like there is reason for you and my husband to fast and maybe even finer distinctions between herbivore, omnivore and carnivore humans. I find human carnivores are best off fasting all the time from some more historically modern foods that herbivores and omnivores can eat without issue.

I might eat less, but I still eat plenty, whereas Binky, who seems to be of a somewhat different metabolic type, will pretty much entirely lose her appetite and stop eating. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny because whenever I think of animals fasting I always think of carnivores. It never ocurred to me that herbivores fast. Dogs fast and they primarily carnivores. AFAIK, wolves fast too and they ARE carnivores. I can't find my copy of " Wild Health " but I'm sure the author covers the topic there. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

I just eat less if I can't taste it because of congestion or sense imbalance but never stop eating. >>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Wanita and , I'm actually one of the ones who just cut back when I'm sick too. I'm not sure if it's good or bad I just never seem to lose my appetite for food. Psychologically I look to food as a cure or source of energy so it's hard to turn it down. Anyway, a couple hours ago I drank the Kombucha tea, had a couple of VSL3 packets in water, took extra vitamin C and used the Netti pot. I went back to sleep until a little while ago. When I woke up my sore throat was almost gone, glands were less swollen and sinuses are clear. (wow) I was hungry for soup and my bone/bean broth was thawed. I heated up the stock (with roots that included burdock and galangal leftover from a KimChee-making weekend) I added a raw egg and some South River 3 year barley Miso (that stuff is so good!) I feel a whole lot better now. Not perfect but well on the road to being cured of this pesky thing; It seems everybody around here has it right now! By the way, on the subject of Fasting, I just remembered that broth " Fasting " was the way I got through my rough spells the past year. (There were times when my digestive tract just wouldn't function and that's when I started the habit of making huge batches of bone and root stocks and then freezing it in quart size containers.) I think a cleansing fast with a good potassium-rich stock would be something to consider... It would certainly be more grounding than these sugar fasts. ~Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves can have days on end when food can't be successfully hunted after becoming hungry again. Snakes go long periods until they want more. Don't see that as choosing to fast. Pretty sure some carnivores will nurse and feed their sick or injured young. One metabolic typer found dogs and cats to have different levels of protein to carb requirements. Our female mastiff needs more protein than our male lab/springer mix, could be breed difference. Herbivores and omnivores have majority of their diet more available and accessible, depending on location, season. Can eat all day long, every day if they wanted. Of course, all wild animals know the time of year to overeat so they can make it through to the next time of more availability. Wanita -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Despite the name, coconut > water is effectively a fruit juice. It doesn't affect me in any way like fruit juice does when I fast. That may be because it does not effectively operate as a fruit juice since it is a whole food in liquid form. Below are some of the medical uses of coconut water: 1. Good for feeding infants suffering from intestinal disturbances. 2. Oral rehydration medium 3. Contains organic compounds possessing growth promoting properties 4. Keeps the body cool 5. Application on the body prevents prickly heat and summer boils and subsides the rashes caused by small pox, chicken pox, measles, etc. 6. Kills intestinal worms 7. Presence of saline and albumen makes it a good drink in cholera cases 8. Checks urinary infections. 9. Excellent tonic for the old and sick 10. Cures malnourishment. 11. Diuretic 12. Effective in the treatment of kidney and urethral stones 13. Can be injected intravenously in emergency case. 14. Found as blood plasma substitute because it is sterile, does not produce heat, does not destroy red blood cells and is readily accepted by the body. 15. Aids the quick absorption of the drugs and makes their peak concentration in the blood easier by its electrolytic effect. 16. Urinary antiseptic and eliminates poisons in case of mineral poisoning. http://coconutboard.nic.in/tendnutr.htm " I feel sorry for all those health food people.

When I lived in Tokyo in the 70's I remember hearing about a pretty severe protocol where hospital supervised Fasting was used to try to cure cancer patients.

Yes (though I think ketogenic diets have a more varied history than that) but my point is that since the benefits accrue via either fasting OR a ketogenic diet, it doesn't seem to be fasting that's the cause at all, but the removal of sufficient carbs. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of data is certainly interesting, and your interpretation is far from unheard of, but the problem is that it can also be interpreted in several other ways. (Just one, for an example: when fasting, the body is no longer under assault by various toxins and thus can heal itself.) There's not really any way to decide which is correct without further investigation and more information. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I read the book but I recall being unimpressed by the level of support that Wolcott presented for his assertions and I was also mystified as to how he (and Dr. Kelley) figured out which foods were appropriate for which type of metabolism. It all seemed like voodoo to me back when I got my first diagnosis of being a Protein Type and I didn't really get a solid grip on how to actually apply the principles until I started working with Dodie of Metabolic Ed. I still have little understanding of how to figure out on my own why one food or the other will cause my metabolism to work properly or not. You, OTOH, seem to understand all of this very well.

I have a strong suspicion, now that I have seen the results of my 4 liver cleanses, that a lot of what I experienced as detox overload during the first 4 fasting cycles and my 12 colon hydrotherapy sessions was actually toxic bile from my liver being dumped into my digestive tract. We'll know better over the next year as I continue to eliminate stones during cleanses. My next one begins next week. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 One of my favorite books on fasting, juicing, detoxing, etc., is by Dr. Don Colbert, " Toxic Relief. " In it he discuses all types of fasting and detoxification methods, and even gives some basic protocols, depending upon your goal. I know that Jordin Rubin endorses his methodology. However, even though he (Colbert) is an MD (his other stuff is rather like Dr. Weil's as far as diet recommendations go), he is a Christian, so there is some mention of his faith in the book. That might bother some people. He does cover what he considers spiritual benefits of fasting, but also covers the benefits from a medical/physiological point of view.

I used to have panic attacks until I added a pancreating enzyme supplement to my meals. Presto, no more panic attacks. On a juice fast you wouldn't have that problem because you'd be eliminating virtually all fat and protein. >How so? I'm interested in your thought process here. Inasmuch as carb cravings come from adrenal axis malfunctions, your fasting appears to have dramatically stressed your adrenals. Also, your body responded to your fasts by dropping LBM and adding stubborn fat, and ending the fasts and working out didn't remedy the situation. This tells me that you've damaged your metabolism, perhaps permanently, by fasting. The first symptom, the binging, was due to direct adrenal stress (and nutrient depletion generally, I'm sure) and the second, the LBM loss and more importantly stubborn fat gain, was due to a long-term alteration in your metabolism brought about by the famine condition of fasting. >So a 15 pound loss of muscle may well >have been correct and a corrective action by my body given where I started. ly I think that's a crock, unless you were some sort of hyper-muscled freak like those bodybuilding grotesques you see in bodybuilding competitions. If you stress your muscles with proper exercise, you're going to strengthen them and likely add muscle mass.

In the appendixes of Metabolic Man, 10,000 Years from Eden, Abravnel's metabolic body types lists the thyroid dominant type as desiring sugar, carbohydrates, caffeine, uses coffee and danish to stimulate thyroid. Needs, high protein (adrenal stimulants), minimum carbohydrates. Must admit, still can't kick the coffee but it's always black, organic and through unbleached filters. If you're juicing, veggies alone even, you're still keeping that carbs and glucose energy base going. Brain fog, disoriented, real yukky with fasts sounds like Heidi giving up gluten. Bone broths as Robin brought up would be a better choice if you feel you must fast. Carbohydrates are metabolizing and burning off too quickly and kicking in craving for more. is right on thyroid and adrenals. When the carbohydrate energy base gets replaced with the protein your hunger, metabolism changes so you don't crave the carbohydrates anymore. Wanita -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
