LOL!

Kaaaay Duuuuub

My wife wish.

Save her some time.

Nah. Big time grubbin' goes on at dinner time around this camp.

But down the road I can see eliminating the evening meal.

The better I eat, the less I need to eat.

Food doesn't digest well while you sleep.

Yeah. I can see growing there.

How about you?

You eat dinner?

Wsup DV

Y'gd? I was wondering why we only see pix of the Blackest lunches and breakfasts.

But I can imagine dinner must be quite a feast requiring some maaad preparation - props to the cook.

I'm a nighteater - I used to fast alot and then I started to experiment with different kinds of eating patterns like having liquids only or eating raw or trying breatharinism so eating at night kinda stuck.

Plus I'm a nightrunner and late sleeper so by the time I sleep, I've begun the digestion process.

I've tried normal eating but I hate the feeling of being full when it's lunch time and I'm s'posed to have anutha meal. No I'm not anorexic - faaar from it, there's def flesh on these bones! I'm just strange that way. And I feel beta that way. However not eating after 6 can be a good thing. Y'shld continue.

BTW What do our kids eat at schl - do they serve what they eat or does Mrs V pack 'em a special lunch?

Prahlad Jani, an 82-year-old Indian yogi, is making headlines by claims that for the past 70 years he has had nothing -- not one calorie -- to eat and not one drop of liquid to drink. To test his claims, Indian military doctors put him under round-the-clock observation during a two-week hospital stay that ended last week, news reports say. During that time he didn’t ingest any food or water – and remained perfectly healthy, the researchers said.

But that’s simply impossible, said Dr. Michael Van Rooyen an emergency physician at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, an associate professor at the medical school, and the director of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative – which focuses on aid to displaced populations who lack food and water.

Van Rooyen says that depending on climate conditions like temperature and humidity, a human could survive five or six days without water, maybe a day or two longer in extraordinary circumstances. We can go much longer without food – even up to three months if that person is taking liquids fortified with vitamins and electrolytes.

Bobby Sands, an Irish Republican convicted of firearms possession and imprisoned by the British, died in 1981 on the 66th day of his hunger strike. Gandhi was also known to go long stretches without food, including a 21-day hunger strike in 1932.
