[quote=Anonymous]Yes, of course I know why we all overeat, (mental, abundance, advertising, feeling stressed, etc...)but I am hoping to start a discussion about how much should an average human eat, how many calories per day. I think we are almost all(in the country) overeating by a lot, probably taking in 2 to 4 times more calories per day than we actually need. Recently I gave fasting a try. I recently did a 36 hour fast. After the initial morning hunger, that dissipated, I was not hungry. That was a surprise to me. I meant to do 24 hour fast, but I was not hungry after 24 hours and it turned into 36 hours. Next morning, I was not hungry, nor feeling faint, in fact, I felt great. So, why are we all eating so much? I noticed that I often eat not out of hunger, but because of psychological need. So, I am starting to believe that most humans do not need around 2000 calories per day, not anymore. I felt better when fasting than in a long time, why? And then, why the next day, all I want to do it eat?  I am not hungry, but I end up eating.[/quote]
