“#Kevin Smith Didn’t Eat For SIX STRAIGHT DAYS!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWhoa! We knew\u00a0Kevin Smith<\/strong> was into intermittent fasting, but there\u2019s nothing inter<\/em> or mittent<\/em> about this! He went almost a week straight without eating at all!<\/p>\n

OK, right now we\u2019re going to do what Kev does in his\u00a0Instagram<\/strong> post and put up a\u00a0TRIGGER WARNING<\/strong> for all the talk about not eating \u2014 as he\u2019s found in the past talking about his process upsets a lot of folks who have dealt with eating disorders. (Though he swears that\u2019s not what\u2019s happ<\/a>ening with him!)<\/p>\n

During an episode of his\u00a0Fatman Beyond<\/em> podcast on Saturday, he first revealed that he was on a multiple day fast after some holiday \u201ccomfort eating\u201d and that he wasn\u2019t even hungry. Little did we know he would continue to not eat for TWO MORE DAYS!<\/p>\n

On Monday, he finally posted about breaking the fast, his longest ever, after an absolutely jaw-dropping 152 hours \u2014 that\u2019s 6 days plus another 8 hours \u2014 writing:<\/p>\n

\u201cI ended my longest fast this morning: 152 hours over the course of 7 days. I feel good and experienced no hunger and no lethargy. Helped that I was buried in writing the new version of #clerks3 for multiple hours a day, which was a welcome distraction from all the entertainment eating I was doing during the holiday, eating (and then overeating) because it\u2019s pleasurable. Before I knew it, 152 hours rolled by because I was lost in Leonardo, NJ, at @quickstopgroceries (in the script, not IRL). I broke my fast with my favorite hummus from @cruzerveganpizza. And while I loved eating it while binging @cobrakaiseries<\/a> 3, I wasn\u2019t so much hungry as I just felt like it was time to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We love that Kevin is getting so much work done on the long-awaited Clerks 3<\/em> \u2014 but six whole days without eating? Really??<\/p>\n

That certainly sounds on the verge of something dangerous. And we aren\u2019t the only ones who\u2019ve raised an eyebrow hearing about this particular method as Kevin writes:<\/p>\n

\u201cLast time I wrote about my fasting, some folks equated it with an eating disorder \u2013 so I apologize if anyone is triggered by this post. You are beautiful the way you are and you don\u2019t need to change at all. But for me, fasting is about self discipline. I showed zero control over my eating during Christmas and at one point, I gorged on 6 bagels in an hour while watching #thesopranos.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For most people, intermittent fasting means only allowing yourself to eat food during certain hours of the day. It\u2019s a method of discipline for folks who have a hard time controlling themselves and can help curb all the unhealthy snacking. It doesn\u2019t mean starving your body for days on end.<\/p>\n

What the\u00a0Yoga Hosers<\/em> helmer is describing is kind of like binging and then punishing yourself with starvation \u2014 which sounds very much like eating disorder behavior to us. But Smith says it\u2019s anything but unhealthy for him:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I fast, it allows me to divorce myself from an unhealthy habit of comfort eating for a brief time, so that I can put the food I eat into perspective instead of just stuffing it all into my fat cells (as I did for 47 years until my heart attack prompted me to change my ways).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We love love LOVE how Kevin has gotten healthy after his major 2018 health scare \u2014 the thought of losing a celeb who\u2019s been in our lives, always being open and honest and super TMI, for so long, it honestly felt like losing a friend.<\/p>\n

So hearing about him pushing towards vegetables, going vegan with daughter\u00a0Harley Quinn Smith<\/strong>, and practicing real food discipline has been as reassuring as it is inspiring.<\/p>\n
