[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 2164856, member: 232698"] "Winner" for the recent weight gain, I know how you have struggled with underweight. I think it would be sensible to get an assessment of body fat composition before extended fasting though. If you have very little body fat you may be in danger of forcing your body to utilise lean or functional tissues in the (extended) absence of food - maybe the drs you asked were thinking along these lines. I'd be the last one to discourage fasting but one of the "don't fast if..." criteria is being underweight. Edit: added "extended" - while I have heard of people running marathons in a fasted state, I'm fairly sure they didn't do extended fasts. [/QUOTE]
