Woody Harrelson Fasted For 40 Days
NOV 26, 2009 AT 09:19 AM
Woody Harrelson recently fasted for 40 days.
The ‘Zombieland’ actor – who is a strict vegan and also tries to eat as much raw food as possible - has revealed he recently gave up eating for the lengthy amount of time to detox.
“I went 22 days only having fruit juice, the rest of the time water. Also, I haven’t spoken a single word for most of the time. But it was totally worth it. Previously, I felt physically and spiritually blocked. Now I feel great."
Would you EVER be able to do this? I am hungry just thinking about it! ;)

He's strange.
fruit juice is not as healthy as you might think. it has loads of sugar and natural fructose (a type of sugar) and they're high in calories and low in fibre. fruits are mean to be eaten as whole and you're only need to eat it moderately. blueberries and raspberries are suppose to be the healthiest fruit because it's high in fibre and low on sugar.
First of all, some natural fructose and calories is fine if it's your only food for 20 days, gosh. Second, please don't tell us to eat fruits "moderately"! That's the most unbelievable thing I ever heard. Do you know a mars bar has 200 times as much sugar as an orange, which is considered a very sweet fruit?
Sugar does not = unhealthy. Processed food, junk food, artificial sugars and fats = unhealthy.
@annie123...thanks for defending fruit! :)
I get mad when people say things like, "OMG fruit has, like, so much sugar and it will make you fat!"

I thought he did some sort of Ramadan... I remember my muslim friends not eating anything during the day. But at night they would go all out with all this great food (and I got left-overs the next day :D)
Woody's diet sounds like Hell!
He still has a mental block.

This isn't healthy at all according to Western medicine standards and moreso according to Eastern (TCM) tried and true methods. It depletes the blood, energy, liver and especially the brain. In the springtime, it is good for our system to lighten the load very gradually but fasting like this is unnecessary and well, seems uneducated to me. I am a long time vegetarian and I still hold that you cannot be an ignorant or lazy one cause you'll end up sick. Another point is that our intestines are not built to handle raw foods as a mainstay. Living food, yes, is good but is absorbed more readily when paired with cooked meals.
The body gets clean by itself so there is no need to do something like that. I couldn't survive a day with at least a cup of coffee, I would get a really bad headache that will last for two days. When we don't eat much we can't go to sleep, so that guy was living hell on earth.
Our bodies need food, just not a lot.

I love food. I could never fast.
That's not healthy..
I think it's great that he has the will power that 99% of humans probably don't. I'm sure he was juicing his own fruits and leaving the skin in the juice....duh.
