A "Breatharian" mom and dad of two have barely eaten for nine years as they live off "the universe's energy."
Husband and wife Akahi Ricardo and Camila Castello believe that food and water aren't necessary and humans can be sustained solely by the energy of the universe.

Castello and Ricardo who have a 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter together have survived on little else besides a piece of fruit or vegetable broth just three times per week since 2008.
And Castello even practiced a Breatharian pregnancy not eating anything during the entire nine months that she carried her first child.

The married couple of nine years claim that their "food-free lifestyle" has improved their health and emotional well-being as well as letting them spend money on traveling rather than the weekly groceries.

Castello, 34, who lives between California and Ecuador with her husband, explained: "Humans can easily be without food as long as they are connected to the energy that exists in all things and through breathing."

"For three years, Akahi and I didn't eat anything at all and now we only eat occasionally like if we're in a social situation or if I simply want to taste a fruit."

The couple met in 2005 and got married three years later, and later that year they discovered Breatharianism through a friend.
The pair had to slowly work their way from vegetarianism to a vegan diet and then to just eating fruit before starting the "21 Day Breatharian Process."

In this process, during the first seven days, nothing is consumed except air; for the next seven days, some water and diluted juice; and for the last seven days, diluted juice and water.

Ricardo said: "The 21 Day Breatharian Process was a powerful one and steppingstone into realizing the infinite potential that lies within.
"It led us to explore the breath and its presence within our lives, showing us that we could easily be without food as long as we had air. I used to eat a lot but I haven't felt hungry since that process in 2008."
For the next three years, the couple did not eat solid food at all even through Castello's first pregnancy in 2011.
These days they have relaxed the rules slightly, occasionally eating so that they can share the experience with their two children.

No, I don't want a salad. Just some air, vanilla scented if you have some.

Let me eat a steak in front of those hippies and then have them tell me all they'll have is some air

I had a student worker that swore you could live off prana alone.

I couldn't have someone that stupid involved in my research, so he stopped being my student worker.

Sooo, they do eat. Just not a lot.

Poor kids w/ ******ed parents.

I'm gonna have freebird's for lunch.

Freakin hippies

Here's another family that has eaten nothing over the last three years:

They look remarkably healthy even for people who ate a huge bowl of fruit 6 times a day.

This. That whole story is a load of crap. No way they've been really doing this. They'd look like concentration camp survivors if they had.

ahh. so they eat food as it comes to them, instead of paying for it

I wonder would any breatharian submit to a documentary crew following them for 7 days

He probably sneaks some of her poop for brunch when she's not looking.

Maybe they are a lot of corn and just practice the second harvest like the pilgrims did.

So he believes in stealth caecotrophy?

is this article actually about Tanya?? is that benny?

So they sneak in the lobby of the Holiday Inn and power down a "free" continental breakfast?

"For the next three years, the couple did not eat solid food at all even through Castello's first pregnancy in 2011."

I'll bet they have twisted the normal idea of eating into abnormal neo-hippy terms. The definitions are:
"eating"-consuming something that you paid for with money that you earned yourself that has to be chewed before swallowing
"drinking"-consuming something that you don't have to chew before swallowing
"living off of air"-consuming anything that you didn't pay for with money you earned yourself
