A husband and wife live a 'food-free' diet and claim they survive by only eating vegetable broth or fruit a handful of times a week. Akahi Ricardo, 36, and Camila Castello, 34, who live between California and Ecuador, said they have forgotten what hunger feels like and believe humans can be sustained solely by the 'energy that exists in the universe and in themselves'. Mother-of-two Camila even practised a 'breatharian' pregnancy, only eating solids five times during the nine months she was carrying her first child. 'Humans can easily be without food, as long as they are the connected to the energy that exists in all things and through breathing,' Camila said.

I call total shenanigans.
Mental illness is rampant. Sad for the kids.
This is not new. The people who claim to do this cheat, and the people
who believe in them die. Incredible hubris.
Based on their pictures, they’re lying about not eating. Starving people don’t look like that.
I figured it has to be a scam of some sort.
Hey, I'm photsynthesizin' over here.
“who live between California and Ecuador”
Whatever it takes to pay to travel on vacation, I guess.
I remember seeing a show on TV where the host essentially called the bluff of someone who claimed to be able to survive without food. I think they put her into a house and followed her with cameras to verify that she did not eat. It became apparent on the 2nd or 3rd day (IIRC) that she was not doing well. They had to stop the filming.
They couldn’t connect to the energy that exists in all things.

Trying to start a cult? I bet that spending 24 hours a day with them for a week or so would debunk their claim....
I’ve known some devout chegatarians — cheating vegatarians. The ones that stick fast to vegan ... they always seem to have an odd shade to their skins (for caucasians). A visceral waxy light olive drab.
Stay in the hospital for a week. Eat like they feed you there and you’ll have no problem maintaining your weight and blood sugar.
If they live between California and Ecuador, they are already stretched very thin...
Ain't no way, no how and nice try lady.
And I've seen the results of pure vegan diets on unborn and newborn. CPS had to step in to intervene to save the malnourished baby's life. The husband was a doctor (Chiro [fake med]) but the mother was a liberal nutjob vegan idiot. I don't know how the child turned out but she was reported as severely malnourished as the mother refused the baby real milk and used vegan approved substitutes.
A long time ago I lived in Boulder, Colorado for a while.
They had a group running around calling themselves the Breatharians, who claimed to live off the nutrients in the air.
One day one of the devotees dropped by the house of the chief priest, found nobody at home, filled a glass of water and went to the refrigerator-freezer for some ice.
There were a couple cases of frozen candy bars up there, the boxes torn open, several bars obviously consumed.
I can’t remember his alibi but his reign clearly ended, not with a bang but a Snicker.
I’ve stopped eating too - A LOT compared to what I used to eat.
I’ve lost a lot of weight doing it- I was a big fat balloon at 265 and now I am down to 220. (I am 6’4 so that’s a good weight for me, I would not mind going down to 200 or 195 - but no less)
I found that bread and wheat were causing a LOT of problems for me. I don’t know if it is the roundup chemical they started putting in wheat or the wheat (gluten) itself, but I feel a LOT better since I stopped eating it. Also severe itching rashes that would come on at night when I got ready for sleep.
I used to have pain so bad in my joints and hips I walked with a cane. I thought I needed hip replacement.
They are completely gone.
I used to eat constantly but I was always still hungry. Now, if I have some good protein like a steak and/or seafood I may not eat the rest of that day or into the next day (I just forget, because I am not hungry)
I stopped eating just because it was breakfast time or lunch. I eat only when I am hungry and eat some good protein. Is it expensive to eat steak a lot? Not when that’s pretty much all you eat.
I snack on cheese and pepperoni and fruit and vegetables.
I read that wheat gluten makes your insides unable to absorb nutrients. You eat and eat trying to get more, that is why you’re hungry all the time and getting fat.
STOP EATING BREAD AND WHEAT if you have health issues. Eat honey or agave nectar instead of sugar. Try it for a month.
I have tried to help others with similar issues- the ones that follow it have thanked me profusely. Others whine that “it’s too expensive” or they don’t like the taste.
I agree with it being too expensive- DO NOT buy the gluten free stuff from the store- its horrible and expensive.
Just get rid of everything to avoid temptation and only stock your home with meat and fruits and vegetables.
Try it for a month. I have other anti-inflammatory health food tips for anyone interested, PM me. (No I do not have a business or sell anything- I am just a computer nerd and freeper friend)
These people are an unwitting advertisement for Agenda 21. That’s the diet the Super-Greenies would force on most of us, if they had their way, to save the erf.
Of course, in their utopia, the administrative class would eat better.
