My personal understanding of Breatharianism is that is it is more of a path to spiritual enlightenment. It isn't really about not eating anything. It has more to do with limited intake of food while depending on a spirit/god/force to provide you with the will to follow this path. Historically, people have fasted to gain spiritual wisdom. There are stories of yogis who survive living only on prana - the life force that surrounds us - usually felt through the breath. For me, being a Breatharian is a spiritual path and journey. You start slow - as a vegetarian, then move on to vegan diet, raw vegan, fruitarian, then only liquids until you only need a pure water, air & sun. Some spiritual practice is needed as well. I do yoga and I use yoga to control mind. But you can also do prayer - ask a God to guide you on your journey toward Breatharianism... Your mind is supposed to be your friend but in many cases, it's No.1 Enemy. People eat, eat, eat, drink, drink, drink, obsess, lie, cheat and then go and EAT some more... Why? No freaking' self-realization! I wan t live a decent, simple, clean, healthy, happy and peaceful life and the why I got on this path How about you?
The stomach is an abnormal inflation designed to store excess food untill your digestive tract can deal with it. When you fast or stop eating it shrinks back to its original tubular state, allowing your solar plexus(directly behind your stomach) to start beating again. My own stomach is now quite minimal as I eat very little, only for social reasons and then it's fresh fruit only, like a piece of banana, half a apple and such. My stomach could not even accommodate some "regular' serving of foods, and eating a meat would really wreck havoc on my system now... See a video of a real Breatharian I just posted to my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omb6wUR-OMU

People write me all the time from all over the world asking what kind of exercise to do, how to meditate and how to breath in order to begin the journey to one day become an Breatharian. Well, here is that video and down here a text about how to breath - Breathing exercise (not mine but I do practice it and it works for me
CONSCIOUS OR CONTROLLED BREATHING Go somewhere private where you will not be disturbed and take five deep continuous and fairly quick breaths. Do not pause after each exhale and keep the breaths connected or continuous through conscious control. When you're done stand still with your arms slightly outstretched and feel the euphoria and tingling sensation all over. You will not even need to breathe for awhile as your body is fully oxygenated and does not require pulmonic movement. Air contains fire or the life force and you have just burned away much of the dross or waste in your body that came into contact with your breath. If you try to move now you will feel lighter and stronger and your head clearer, and if you look in the mirror you will look more pale or thin. When your normal breathing comes back you can try this again, except this time go for ten breaths, followed by fifteen or twenty. Do not overdo this if you are a smoker or living where the air is very polluted. Go to your garden or backyard, or even inside your house if it is well ventilated. The best times are in the early morning or late evening when carbon monoxide levels are lower. Bad air can kill you as swiftly as good air can heal you. You can do this exercise daily as a form of cleansing or rejuvenating exercise. It also works much like a zapper burning away many parasites. Deep and controlled breathing is especially effective during a fast when the oxygen is able to penetrate deeper into all parts of the body and quicken healing. The end....
