have you ever fasted?

Question

i only ask because geneticaly speaking they say our bodies have not adapted yet to constant feeding

its to do with famine and feasting kyle

Answer 1

If we starve, then our body will store food.

Our bodies are not going to adapt with having a constant rate of food, there is simply no reason for this.

In evolution, if we don't need a gene it isnt going to go away, unless it is destructive.
since this one is clearly beneficial it isn't ever going to go away, it may have some mutations but i don't think it will go away.

If being fat had actually made you less attractive in terms of evolution and not pop-culture it still wouldn't matter because humans can choose to run, bike and do other things to lose weight.

Interesting question however. I have not fasted for a deity lol but i have starved myself while working in my laboratory or in a long car ride :)

Answer 2

I have fasted before but not intentionally. I only eat when I'm hungry. There are some days when I eat nothing. Then there are days when I eat excessively. I've always been like that. I rarely snack. I guess I am an extremist as far as food is concerned. For me, it really is feast or famine....lol

Answer 3

particular I fairly have fasted. oftentimes I rapid for twenty-four hours. My fasts selection, each from time to time I do a entire rapid with in basic terms beverages to drink, different circumstances I do a rapid the place i'm abstaining from something. those are very non secular circumstances. I fairly have heard of people and church homes that rapid for 40 days with an wonderful non secular blessing poured out. i prefer to do a rapid for 40 days, yet have not yet reached the factor the place bodily i'm waiting to realize this - my actual wellness isn't the ideal precise now. We do get super advantages bodily from a supervised rapid, too, yet looking somebody to supervise a rapid this is medically qualified is probably no longer uncomplicated.

Answer 4

I do the Catholic fast during Lent - instead of three meals a day, you limit yourself to eating one regular meal per day, plus two light snacks in place of your other two meals, and then nothing else in between.

It's a trial, but it's not that bad after a day or two. You get used to it.

Extraordinary eating habits - constant feeding or constant no-food fasting - may not be that good for you in the long run. I'm thinking they could wreak havoc with your blood sugar levels, if for no other reason.

Answer 5

Ya i do the 24 hour fast every year with the past 6 years for trocaire!

Answer 6

Fasting helps focus one's energies on the resources available in our great God. I fast at times of confusion or when I am not able to determine which direction I should be going.

Answer 7

It's all in the genes, thank god I've been blessed with good ones, I'm 65 and am the same weight as when I was 25, it's not all in the same place as it was though!

Answer 8

i kept away from food in a horrible way. nothing but one or max. 2 slices of puffed rice and water/day for 5 days. and then i got really really sick, if you ask me, i'm not sure i could try even a more balanced fasting for more than one day.
then again, i used to fast for religious reasons. my family is eastern orthodox, and i used to keep away from animal protein in the requested periods of time.

Answer 9

Yes but only before some tests for blood work

Answer 10

I am Catholic and there are 2 days in the year I fast and they are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
