For what it's worth, I consulted with a medical physicist and an MD.
I think _refugee_ was just throwing up a word of caution to anyone who is predisposed to eating disorders with the hope that they wouldn't read about the virtues of fasting and take that as a sign that anorexia is also healthy. Pretty sure she wasn't aiming it at you. Ref, not trying to put words in your mouth; that's just how I read your statement.
I didn't think that she was. I thought it was a prudent thing for her to state. I was just trying to add to it letting people that read this know that this decision wasn't made in a vacuum. I took absolutely no offense from ref's comment. Not at all.
Yeah not trying to guilt or naysay at all. Just trying to say, hey, we might all be doing this, but that doesn't mean you should do it all the time. It's hard to say though bc now intermittent fasting has come up (which I do advocate) and so on - so basically - moderation in all things and be safe.
