I'm fasting today

the headache is just your organs saying thank you for the rest you're giving them.. it's all natural.

^ quack

^moo

As a man of science I expect more you you Damo.. Hang your head in shame

sorry, it's all poo and wee jokes in my head.

ha!
poo!
wee!

see?

I fasted for 24hrs once - partly to experiment, and partly because I was on reduced income support (punished for leaving a job), and had run out of money/food.

Temporarily, it did wonders for my complexion, though I expect this was also a facet of drinking a lot of water (I've never seen my piss so clear).

Farting is passing energy.

this. I'm saving it for the track.

used to do it once a week,
found it easier to start after evening meal, then youre sleeping lots, and have only the following day to go slow before breaking fast.
Definately rests all the internal systems, like a bit of herb tea just to break montony of water.
even better without any t.v, net, phone, music-actually vow of silence is really good too- you can have a full blown retreat in your own home, who needs to go anywhere to do that?
reading, slowing down, whatever practice you got all becomes better,
enjoy your experience.

I'm doing a homoeopathic fast; you stop eating for 1 second and it's 86400 times as effective as fasting for 24h.

I am absorbing the required energy from food today by aligning it with my bodies dynamic magnetic aura field. It allows me to take all the goodness needed for my cells to recharge to optimum efficiency without any of the calories or down sides such as fat.

Interval fasting. It's the only way.

sorry, it's all poo and wee jokes in my head.

Carry on Damo.. You fight the good fight.

instead of eating food, i simply leave my hand in a tub of gruel overnight and let osmosis do all the work.

I tried to make myself ambidextrous once whilst travelling in Russia
it made me keep blinking so I stopped
Found out that in the bad old days, schools would try to correct Left handers and this would often cause a form of cross eyed disfunction
BEWARE of the voices(wherever they come from)

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous

Sounds a bit sinister

ok so i've broken my fast. thanks for the support everybody. its not over, just postponed as i decided to go out with my old club tomorrow and thought a morning in the saddle wouldn't be best prepared for by fasting.

mf, i like what you say. i'm gonna pursue it.

ps sorry for letting you all down.

it wasn't that long ago.
Willsbourough infants did it to me in the late 70's (or possibly the nursery down the road instigated it).
before school/nursery i scribbled/ate/picked nose left handed.
i'm not cross eyed though.

tell M16 to stand down
Current threat level back to code orange

For what purpose other than "breaking the tyranny of food" - what tyranny of food? There is no tyranny of food!

Food's tyrannical hold over our need for food.

You fool.

Food is evil. Hunger is temptation from the Devil. Give in to the Lord like I have done. Haven't eaten in 7 months now.

I have nothing but respect for you Brother Pifko, keep it up, only 41 more years to go before the sweet gift of death.

seeing as ramadan has just finished, today you should be eating heartily in celebration

Agree, it's actually racist what he is doing, he's basically telling the Ramadans (or whatever that lot are called) that they shouldn't be in our country, and I am sorry I don't care what anyone says that is racist.
