I am breatharian level 2, ask me anything

[TheSomeBody]

i am making this post to help people to get education about this topic and maybe face my self-deception in the topic.

do not mock me, as rule number 1 says:Don't Be A Jerk. i will report and block you. only questions without mocking will be answered that are about this topic.

have fun

you probably do not know about the levels so here is info about it:
 

Breatharian Categories – Levels of Manifestation

level 1: This category consists of people who consume solid food usually three or more times per day. They often have not made any kind of change to their diet since their childhood, or perhaps have only made minimal changes. They largely remain in a digestion mode; out of the 24 hours of the day, these people are digesting, on average, 70-100% of the time.

level 2: The people included in this category have in some way improved upon their state of health and well-being to the point in which they experience a significant increase, or expansion, in their states of consciousness and happiness as a result. This development can occur as a consequence of a change in their diet – often a reduction in both the density as well as the amount of their solid food intake, or it can occur by other means, such as an increase in physical activity or spiritual practice (for instance via sport, dance, yoga, qi gong, meditation, fasting, etc.). The people in this level of manifestation often consume one solid food meal, or two small meals, per day, and out of the 24 hours of the day, their digestive systems are working, on average, 40-60% of the time.

 level 3: This category includes most of the people whom we refer to as “Breatharians.” They usually consume liquids containing calories every day, and they might have one or two solid food meals per week, month, or year (and they have been doing as such for a minimum of one year). They also have the capacity to go long periods (weeks or months) only on water, or even without water (dry). These people are digesting, on average, 10-30% of the time.

 level 4:This category is comprised of those whom we call fully Breatharian. These people are extremely rare – in our estimate, only one out of every 10 million human beings on the planet fall under this category. They remain in “dry mode” all the time (and have done so for a minimum of one year), or some might drink a little tea, coffee, or water once a day, week, month, or year. Their digestive systems are working, on average, only 0.1-1% of the time (just a recycling of cells).

I would just call this being normal level.

@TheSomeBody 

Are you looking to move up the levels? Have you ever met anyone at level 4?

Also, what changes have you noticed from being at level 2?

[Someone here]

I wish I could become like that. Its kinda fucked up that you constantly need to fill your stomach with shit everyday if you think about it . I'm sure in 20000 years from now humans will just survive on electricity. You go and charge your battery 🔋 for a couple cents and you are fine for the day .

so Breatherianism is not a good name really , the right name should be food freedom. it is all about how much food you choose to eat a day rather than normal level or high level. ofcourse it takes time to get to level 4 but you can go backwards if you want because it is all about feedom.

usually people stop at level 3 but idk where it will take me tbh. i am just having fun for now

i feel way better, worry less about hunger, have more energy, sleep better , i am using food less for emotions, i have more clarity. it is really like a mental therapy for me.
also i am exercising more and got more muscle too which is nice.

i really hope that i will eat food only for fun and not for the need of my body.

it is all about freedom overall and having fun.

why dont you start now? this way of life you need to just mediate everyday and fast once a week. there is more practices and info but the basics will get you most of the results

Level 1 is exceeding the normal requirement that the body needs. 

Level 2 is the normal requirement for the body. 

Level 3 is where breatheriansim starts imo.

1. is beliving that the knowledge is true

2. is practicing and getting results. in level 2 you can get to the amount of eating less than recommended and still feeling great which is living on prana pretty much

3. this is the initiation level but it is living on more prana. technically you live on prana before this level.

 

also it is about freedom, you can be at level 3 and get back to level 2 because you want to

My mom eats at level 2 and she's a bit overweight. You can't even lose unnecessary fat on such diet.

This is very practical because you save much money and time; buy groceries, cook, and wash dishes less often.

I was forced to experience this level or perhaps that was actually level 2.5 for 3 weeks and I lost too much weight. I slept starving every night which made it difficult to function. I felt too thin and awkward, and didn't feel like myself.

pranic living is exploration and fun for me. not dogma and religion. if i am having fun and i am safe i can explore as much as i want. there is pretty big amount of evidence that it is real.

also you feel better and can sleep less too and not worry about nutrition because you getting the best food possible.

 

for me it is not forcing, my body just wants to eat less and less. i feel like i am still over eating and i should eat less. it just happened naturally if you practice it.

breatharians do have low fat levels (women tend to have more fat ). lots of people just exercise and do bodybuilding to look good and not very skinny. exercising is part of the pranic way too.

I’ve changed my meal frequency lately. So nowadays I eat two small meals a day, and one small snack Monday to Thursday. Then Friday to Sunday I only eat two small meals plus if I want, dessert. So I make space for the eventual dessert.

I have been practicing portion control, meaning I’ve reduced my portion sizes to small. I also follow , when the food fits it, the plate model. It’s good for reducing the calories because you’re filling half the plate with non starchy vegetables. For example if I’m eating chicken, rice and veggies. Only a fourth of my plate is chicken, a fourth is rice, and half is veggies.

 

I like the feeling when I eat less. I also like to feel light. I might incorporate fasting sometimes too. That’s something I could play around with too. 
 

I don’t know how much I believe in true breatharianism. Maybe one would need extreme self/body mastery/awareness to be able to sustain it

try fasting if you like this feeling, feels amazing. just make sure to not rush it and meditate everyday and exercise frequently.

also not eating meat and animal products can really help with light feelings. personally meat effects me alots , eggs is kinda ok for me for now

I didn't knew about this before but i'm living on level 2 since 2017. And period before covid hit I was in my best health, though my age was way past the usually accepted prime age. My reasons were health based only.

But i'm not sure about level 3 or level 4, i would be curious though about the practicality of it.

If you care to answer my question is that if level 4 person doesn't eat most of the time, from where they are deriving the energy to continue living? All sages were eating something.

Do you have an explanation for how it works?

Does the body become a light body or somerhing?

What happens after you've been a breatharian for 7 years and all your cells have regenerated ? Is your whole body then a light body? Would that lead to physical immortality?

A.k.a. intermittent fasting.

hmmmmmmmm if you dont practice it you are not a breatharian, especially if you are not aware.

how it works is still a mystery for me. some say it is just prana and thats it, some say it is energy that air gets from the sun. some think it is some use of electricity. in qigong you have bigu practice which is fasting and lots of research about qigong you can see with electricity so maybe qi is just elecricity? idk really

you have lots of people that are level 3 and some 4 and talking about it online.

breatheirans are alwayas eating just not taking energy from food but from other sources pretty much.

3 and 4 levels are still living on prana pretty much tbh, how someone can live one 300-400 calories a day? and most of the calories are fresh fruits too.
part of the trick is that their body becomes really good at recycling water and minerals and all kinds of stuff, but still doesnt explain how to live on so little for so long.

i wrote about the explanation in the quote above you .

what you mean by light body? there are body builders that are pranic and they have lots of muscles but they muscles don't weigh much. 
you are eating the purest food so some say it leads to immortality. but the body still decays, maybe slower but you can still die from all kinds of problems . also usually they believe in reincarnation and some can see how they will be after they are dead so i guess they do want to die. really common in yogic tradition to choose to die or living on prana and things like that .

so idk about not dying but if you can live on prana it is the best diet you can have for sure.

they are not soylent drinkers and protein shakers. they are living on fresh fruits and vegetables, sometimes just the juice and less than 400 calories and sometimes they dont eat at all and do it for many years and be healthy and develop muscles . they do not look out of concentration camps, they look healthy and some gain lots of muscles.

level 4 can not drink or eat for forever, there are people that dont drink or eat for more than 20 years in the community.

i think you dont have any hard data right now (you do have some) on this topic and it is kinda like proving god or enlightment and stuff like that.
if you feel you have a calling just practice it. it is safe practice and just explore yourself safely and see if you live on prana or not. no one gonna win in intellectual  arguement about this topic because the data and theories are not good enough but the practice is pretty good and solid i think. especially if you like fasting and meditation and exercise.

i do belive in it but i dont mind if it is pure bullshit because i am having so much fan and feel so good and it really helps my life in many ways. worst case scenario is that i had fun and got some mental medicine becoming more healthy,eating better food and have more muscle, best case senario is worst case senario + food freedom.

I have nothing against breatharianism. I have something against how you defined the levels.

As for the legitimacy of breatharianism, even within a materialistic paradigm, you can have increased efficiency and behavioral modes within a system that would lower requirements for things like food. For example, if you have a very low resting heart rate, you are generally calm and not very stressed and you do things in a very consciously aware and streamlined way (like when practicing "active mindfulness"), I wouldn't be surprised if you needed only half of the food of somebody else of a similar size. The one time I spoke on the radio, I was starving a few hours later, probably due to the adrenaline. And definitely if you add on top of that a very "inactive" lifestyle where you maybe only sit and meditate for 12 hours a day (which certainly if you're in a samadhi, is also the most efficient way of "resting"), you probably don't need much of anything for days. And let's also not forget that somebody who weighs less of course needs less food by default than somebody else.
