Is a 36 hour fast a good idea for a chronic binger?

    I know everyone has a negative opinion on this. I also binge eat, I am fasting now because of a huge binge last night.

    Ha ha ha... No. Nope. No.. No. I've struggled with binge eating for 2 1/2 years so I would not recommend, from my own experiences.

    Fasting is, in general, a really bad idea, and I'm worried you might be using it to justify binge eating. Binging is never good for you, no matter how long you fast afterward.

    You need to learn how to eat just enough to fuel yourself and then stop. Binging and fasting don't help with this.
