I heard some people talking about this new sunlight diet. They mentioned they saw it on the internet? So who better to ask than all of the internet people.
Has anyone had any experience with it? I'm guessing it would be a bad idea in cloudy places, like Vancouver, NY, Seattle and rainforests. HEHE but what about bright sunny places like phoenix? I think I'm just full to the brim of toxins and want to just shed them all out of my body NOW!

    I'm a strict breatharian, so I try not to pollute my body with these junk fad diets.

    I don't think its soap. Is there any truth to cleansing with that? I know it will get my outside toxins, but I want to get the inside as well. Thank you all :flowerforyou:

    I'd say don't waste your money, but it's free. And it feels good to be outside in the sun.

    So, yes. Try this diet. In moderation.

    This lady is only drinking water and she has like, 8 cameras constantly on her so she is "forced not to cheat and eat". She lost 20 pounds. Now, THIS is starvation mode, hahaha.

    I had no idea what this was so had to Google it. Dear Lord, the desperation and shear stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think I could not possibly be surprised by humans, someone comes along to prove me wrong. Sad. Really sad. :frown:

    I think the sunlight diet would refer to one high in vitamin D. Production of Vitamin D is normally stimulated by sunlight, but in places where there is little sunlight it can be an issue. Lack of vitamin D can cause anemia I think? Therefore, the diet would probably have lots of fish and vegetables that contain vitamin D or help its absorption.

    Is it like dry fasting? :sick:

    I'm a big fan of water and juice fasting for health but even to a tree hugging hippy like me, this Sunlight diet sounds cuckoo bananas.

    No non-fortified food source contains adequate amounts of vitamin D.

    That is what we call a lack of basic understanding of science. Plants have cells that convert sunlight to energy, animal do not. No way she makes 6 months, f***ing ridiculous.

    Its just sunlight. Like a fast, only with sun. Just sunlight, fish and vegetables are not light.

    A woman starved herself to death. And since it's known how and why she did it, presumably at least one other person knew she was doing it. And apparently others are still doing it! If that is not desperate, stupid and sad, I really can't think what would be.

    Did you hear about the woman in Switzerland found dead in her home last year? She reportedly followed a “spiritual diet” described in a 2010 Austrian documentary, In the Beginning There Was Light. In it, Indian guru Prahlad Jani claims to have avoided food and drink for 70 years, his only form of sustenance being derived from spiritual means and sunshine. Jani is alive and well, but his story hasn’t been substantiated by medical authorities. The Swiss woman supposedly avoided all food and water, even spitting out her saliva. Her cause of death was ruled to be starvation.

    Stephane Shank, a spokesperson for Health Canada, states the obvious: “This type of diet certainly goes against Health Canada’s advice to maintain healthy eating habits daily. There are risks that come as a result of not meeting the nutrients and dietary requirements laid out in Canada’s Food Guide.”

    Known as “breatharianism” or “pranic nourishment,” the so-called sunlight diet also gained popularity through books by Australian “breatharian” Ellen Greve, who goes by the name Jasmuheen. (She has won a Bent Spoon Award, given each year by the organization Australian Skeptics to “the perpetrator of the most preposterous piece of paranormal or pseudoscientific piffle.”) Since the 1990s, at least three other deaths have been reported as being attributed to the practice 
of breatharianism.

    So, eat, drink and be—alive!

    You'd probably be better off eating the soap.
