Bonn will be providing statistical analysis (insert beavis and butthead laughing gif] and related sabremetrics on the colon cleansing benefits/athletic performance enhancements of non-religious fasting.

tkf will start praying to his god that Melo actually develops some sort of bowel dysfunction that will actually cause him to defecate on himself during a game. Hopefully a nationally televised game.
3G4G is busy dredging the internet for Gallo's and Lin's true championship dietary habits.

Somewhere, a young man from Brooklyn smiles.

Black people don't see therapist. I'm black.........I would never go to one either.

I'm a therapist and I would disagree with your generalisation. Aversion to seeing a therapist transcends all races!

there are two types of therapists: there is the therapist that will take a theory and do his best to force fit it over the patient's experience

and then there is the therapist that will look at the patient for what he is and where he is, and work with him to develop a plan of action which will lead the patient to a fulfilling life, which is what the goal of all therapy should be,

Yeah, I have no time for therapists who think they know better than the client- there are some awful therapists out there! Though to be fair, some people want that from their therapist.

People do what they need to do and find something that's helpful for them- for some its fasting, for some its self help books, for some its therapy, for some its weed. Melo is doing what he needed to do. He knows more than we do about what he needed to do, don't get what the issue is.

But I'll be honest, I have an aversion to seeing a therapist, even though as a therapist Im encouraged to! and I worry about people finding out that I see a therapist too- there is still a lot of stigma attached to it, though I think it's changing a bit.

therapy has a bad ring to it, it's more a consulting service

Melo was fasting this week to bring 'clarity' to his life http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/knicksblog/knicks_melo_was_fasting_this_week_VRxGBMe6bf6XcFiurZDLAM#ixzz2HtXOQocs

I remember Nazir Mohammed fasting for Ramadan, and it had a major impact in his stamina.

Is this a religious issue or a diet? I am all for reflection and self improvement but this a professional athlete getting max money. It seems like really bad timing for Melo to weaken himself during a part of the schedule when Rashede and Felton are injured, and players like Kidd, JR and Brewer are banged up or worn out. Couldn't he have held off his fasting until after the season, or at least until the team is less reliant him?

So Melo admits this amidst poor performances offensively at least from an efficient perspective on Jan 13th 2013

Melo has done this throughout his playing career and on February 12th 2011 2yrs prior he admits

Carmelo Credits Fasting Diet For Scoring Spree

Carmelo Anthony is in the midst of an extraordinary scoring spree.

The All-Star forward believes the spree is a result of a 21-day meatless fast last month.

"It was mental. It was spiritual. It was emotional," Anthony said of the fast.

Anthony followed what's known as the "Daniel fast," abstaining from all meats, fish, breads, sweets and soda from Jan. 9-30. His diet was limited to protein shakes, raw juices, fruits and vegetables. He said he still abstains from soda and most meats.

"During that whole time, it was a lot of prayer, just taking some time out for myself and getting some clarity on things with myself, with my career, with my life, and it really helped me," Anthony said. "I started seeing things a lot more clearly from every aspect of my life."

In five games since Feb. 4, Anthony has averaged 35.4 points.

So my question is what does a poster like Anji do with this material....as it would surely qualify as pure unadulterated SUBTERFUGE from Melo.

I mean which is it Melo does fasting help your performance on the court or doesn't it? Like I said Slick Oil Car SalesMans Finest

What about Marriage counseling for Melo?

Marriage is about spending time with each other and enjoying that time. Entertainment people have a hard time with marriage because of time apart. When you get used to being apart its gets complicated.

Hey, we all want our guys to be happy and play well. The extent of our personal relationship in my opinion is they are basketball players and thats about it. I can feel for them as humans but every day there are people around us that live lives and we can make an impact. They are paid entertainers and have their own support systems. The need for privacy is tough because they make a good living being public figures (La La has her show? I have never seen it.) but when things go wrong they need to shut it down and deal with real life things. He has a son, it could be complicated.

when fasting for Yom Kipper its just 24 hours and just water. Eating fruits, nuts and raw veggies is a good thing but I never considered that fasting. Must be hell on the stomach.

water on yom kippur is not allowed!

I think fasting is a vague word. It sounds like he simply was a vegetarian for a month.

Well Yaahh. Fasting is like no food at all really. Not to be technical let's take it for what he says it is a Fast okay well... There was another article back when in Denver they cited a poor stretch of play and pointed to the cause of him Jenny Craiging
