This is what I’m talking about. You been told that it’s dangerous. The human body is incredibly well equipped to go a few days without food.
Fasting for a day is absolutely not something that requires medical advice.
- justinator 5y agoTo me it could be. I've seen disordered eating in my family (and have done it myself). to me, it's not a good idea, and anectdata on something like my health isn't what I suggest when people are looking for advice. Running right into "don't eat for a couple of days" is a lot more extreme than, "take a good look at your diet and make small adjustments, over time". I know it's not sexy or provocative, but it does work. And that's why I preempted my post with, "talk to an expert" rather than dismissing the whole idea. ie: don't trust some random person on an VC tech forum.
