Woman attempting to live on nothing but water and sunlight for 6 months

[trey4sports]

I have no comment on what she is doing as I'm not sure what to think...but I will say that calorie restriction is directly c correlated with longevity

Good luck to her. Others who have tried: http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/edible-innovations/breatharian.htm

Verity Linn, a 49-year-old woman, was found dead in a remote part of Scotland after attempting th*e Breatharian conversion. Timo Degen, a kindergarten teacher, tried the Breatharian plan and slipped into a coma. Degen recovered after four weeks of IV drips, only to die a short while later [Source: The Sunday Times via Rick Ross].

*Lani Morris kept a diary throughout her time as a Breatharian. Morris, a mother of nine, died with symptoms of pneumonia, severe dehydration, kidney failure and the effect*s of a severe stroke. She was in the care of two Breatharians, Jim and Eugenia Pesnak [Source: The Australian via Rick Ross]. Morris was isolated and had the understanding that she would be given orange juice after one week and nothing at all for two weeks after that. She indicated in her diary that she dreamed of food. She lost the use of her legs, became incontinent and began coughing up a black, sticky fluid. The Pesnaks claimed that they did not know Morris was seriously ill until it was too late.

Even plants need nutrients.

I can see where she would place a bit too much emphasis on the importance of sunlight, since she is from a low-sunlight area of the world.

her brain will become toxic.
she will eventually start to hallucinate.

She'll be watching Bill O'reilly then?

her body will eventually run out of protein.
her brain will become toxic.

She's already there, man.

Man does not live on bread alone.

Woman does not live on sunlight at all.

Why doesn't any Guru start a Meatarian group?

Seattle is the wrong place to try and live off of sunlight

Want to feel more peaceful? Eat a big turkey dinner. All you'll think about is having a long damn nap.

Oh, and I have a very large friend tell me once that the most effective diet he ever had was the Bacardi diet. He was depressed over his girl, so he'd drink Bacardi every night. Except he wouldn't want to give up his buzz so he just didn't eat dinner.

Larry the Cable Guy has a joke about this: "I was on a diet where you eat nothing but vegetables and drink wine. I lost 30lbs and my license" lulz.


And lastly, I've read that Guinness actually has enough nutrition in it that it can sustain people for a while if need be. Although I don't claim that to be true.

That's never worked for me. :/

With luck, many more Seattle liberals will voluntarily go six months without food.
