My mom did that too. And my kids mom is putting that on my son right now. He isn't even fasting. He is 15, and he is wanting to be healthier so he is cutting out crappy foods. I think it's natural for mother's to want their kids to be overfed. Your uncle in law sounds cool.

Just water and cold brew. I think I tried a mixed salt water a day or two but it never seemed worth the hassle.

When you were young, did people project the idea of anorexia on you? Or where did that belief come from?

My mom would call me anorexic when I wasn't eating, but I was never super duper skinny or anything. I put on mass really easily.

Now when I do it, it's more about my spiritual health.

When I was doing my 21 day fast my uncle-in-law who is a great burner kind of dude said "ohhhh cooool, it's like you're living off your soul."

What's the longest you have gone without food, and why?
