During Ramadan, people fast during the day. Note: during the day, so that is another "fasting" religion.
The point in general of fasting is to resist the spirit from bodily needs...
Seeing as the video is half an hour long, I'll mention now that I didn't watch the video.

But did he really starve himself? I've heard of water fasts lasting as long as 90 days under the supervision of professionals, but they didn't enter starvation mode either (granted, they were well over 300 lbs each case).

I know of the benefits of fasting, but unless he wanted to know the experience of what starvation is like, I'm not sure what to make of that otherwise.

vomiting once from the body rejecting certain foods (toxins) isn't that bad and is normal, like Mike Tyson says... meat is like poison to him

excessive vomiting is obviously a problem because the body should be getting rid of waste via feces


Did you know that the size of your brain and its capacity for abstract thought are believed to be a direct result of our ancestor species incorporating more protein into their diet?

Meat is not poison when eaten in moderation. How can you preach the health benefits of a fast when your other ideas about nutrition are so woefully skewed?
