Well, the majority of people in the US (probably 9.99999%)and I'm sure on this site are not below 5% body fat, so I'm not worried about the people on this MB starving to death. Lol. Do you even realize how much stored energy is in one pound of body fat? The reason we store fat is so we can survive for long periods of time when food is not available, which by the way happened a great deal to our ancestors dating back thousands of years. We are digesting and breathing in toxins now that we did not have in our food and air then either. A great deal of weight we have are in stored toxins.
If you read the articles posted on the beginning of this thread, which by the way was done by doctors and dieticians under research study, you would know that it is healthy for the majority of people and you burn off bad tissue and fat before going to healthy tissue. Trust me when I say, YOU WOULD KNOW WHEN YOU WERE BURNING HEALTHY TISSUE. I would not base on the person's message about missing her cycle for a year after fasting. This is an isolated case and other things could have been a factor. At the same time, don't go by my experience with fasting to make your conclusion. Do your own research because there is a great deal of info about this subject on the internet. You'll do far more harm to your body to drink that beer than fasting for a day I believe.
