Oh wow.

I guess I confused Fasting with starving yourself.

Yeah it’s east to equate not eating with starving since they go hand in hand. The human body is remarkably resilient and the metabolic benefits are worth it for many but it can be tricky business for people who struggle with disordered eating.

If you’re going to party all night in Mexico how do you think drinking only water for days after is a nutritionally stable move?

True.

Its fascinating what the human body can endure, 

it is truly resilient.

Fasting is a great way to detox from overindulging after a night out. 

Even so, I find it odd that you’d hold her (of all people) to the standard of a paragon of nutritional stability. Your not-so-subtle dig at her partying all night is curious too.

drinking only water sounds psychologically dangerous

It might sound that way to you, but luckily we can rely on actual science instead of jumping to unfounded conclusions and judging for no reason. 

Please enjoy this link to a peer-reviewed scientific research study

fasting correctly has many benefits. it's usually done in short cycles.

shout out to those triggered by this. you are seen, heard, and supported. full empathy, but try not to project.

I don't think she does half the things she writes lol

But i'd like to know why she writes things like that...

More and more It seems to me Britney wants to simply shock. I don't know if her content being so "exotic" is just a coincidence, an accident.

Fasting has health benefits, but as with everything regarding health, it depends on a variety of factors. It does benefit metabolism and some pathways, since it activates certain enzymes and catabolic processes  that trigger significant changes in patients with specific issues, BUT it might affect someone whose adrenals are not well nourished and cortisol is off the charts. It can also affect thyroid patients and certain types of anxiety. Research is mostly done in males and murine models, which does not discard the knowledge, but mkes it significantly limited about how female and male bodies, are affected differently.  Little to nothing is known on how it affects females and the complex hormonal interactions at play within a woman's body.

 

Also, with her, who knows. She seems to have been so abused about her weight and image that her relationship with her.body and.with food is contentious, to say the least. Fasting might not be the best strategy for an individual with those characteristics.

Oh wow I’d love to have the self discipline to be able to do this, I’ve tried it so many times but can only go around 18 hours (including overnight sleep). I just don’t have the willpower, plus due to a few medications I’m on it can start to make me feel seriously ill having them on an empty stomach. 
 

I’ve heard it can be so beneficial though!

Fasting is good for you... We don't need to eat 24/7

Not eating 24/7 = not eating anything at all for days???

Both eating too much and not eating anything for a long time (doing it more than one day is too much) can be dangerous. We do need to eat something everyday.

Oh my god the people in this thread who do not understand the concept of fasting are really scaring me. How dense can you be? 

[easy]

Britney stays in her controversial era  nothing wrong with fasting when done correctly and the health benefits have been thoroughly documented. Nothing to suggest she's not being safe. You do you, let Britney do her.

It's not not understanding the concept of fasting, it's thinking that it's wrong. Water fasting may have some benefits but it also has risks. It's not something that all doctors and scientists agree with. There are also lots of doctors who say that it can be dangerous and can cause permanent/semi-permanent damage.
