What is Breatharian? Akahi Ricardo and Camila Castello, the couple who follows and have barely eaten for 9 years and they also have 2 healthy children
Can we live with Universal energy rather than food?-Breatharian
Humans can be nurtured only by the energy of the universe. Akahi Ricardo and Camila Castello believe that food and water are not necessary to survive. The couple has a 9-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter.
Since 2008 the family has been surviving on little, i.e., a piece of fruit or a vegetable. They eat fruits and vegetables just 3 times per week.
Camila also practiced a Breatharian PREGNANCY. She did not eat anything during the entire nine months when she carried her first child.
The couple claims that their “food-free lifestyle” has developed their health and emotional well-being. Akahi and Camila say that they spend their money on traveling and exploring rather than on groceries.
Camila who lives between California, USA, and Ecuador with her husband, Akahi explains:
“Humans can easily be without food – as long as they are the 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.

Moreover, she added:
“With my first child, I practised a Breatharian pregnancy. Hunger was a foreign sensation to me so I fully lived on light and ate nothing.
“My blood tests during all three trimesters were impeccable and I gave birth to a healthy, baby boy.
“Since Breatharianism, I feel healthier and happier that I’ve ever done before. When I was younger, my weight fluctuated but now after having two children, my body bounced back to its natural shape immediately.
“I never suffer from PMS symptoms anymore and I feel more emotionally stable.”
The husband of Camila accepts that Breatharianism is the ideal way to save people’s food shopping bills. Akahi teaches courses about Breatharianism to his wife, Camila.
Furthermore, he explained:
“There is a freedom that comes with not being attached or dependent on food.
“Obviously, our living costs are a lot less than most families and that has allowed us to spend our money on things that really matter like traveling and exploring together.
“It’s given us a clear sense of what we want in life. Anyone can live a Breatharian lifestyle and feel the benefits. It’s not about never eating food again, it’s about understanding cosmic nourishment (not just physical nourishment) and living without limits.”
How did they discover Breatharianism?
Followingly, In 2005 the couple met and got married three years succeeding in 2008. Later in the same year, the couple discovered Breatharianism through a friend.
The couple had slowly worked their way from being vegetarian to a vegan diet and then a breatharian. After that just eat fruits. And then they started the “21 Day Breatharian Process”.
In Breatharianism, during the first seven days, nothing is consumed, except air. Then after completing that, for the next seven days only water and diluted juice are consumed and for the last seven days diluted juice and water are consumed.
Moreover, Akahi said:
“The 21 Day Breatharian Process was a powerful one and stepping stone intorealising 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.”
They also said that the duo did not eat regular food at all for the subsequent three years. Also, Camila also did not eat solid food during her first pregnancy in 2011.
But on certain days, the pair relaxes the rules slightly, by occasionally eating not because they’re hungry. Akahi and Camila are not forced to share the experience with their two kids.
They want their kids to have a good relationship with food and try all the varieties of food. Let it be vegetables, fruits, chocolates, burgers, etc.
Camila talks about her pregnancy and childbirth
The parents do not force their children to practice Breatharianism. However, the couple emphasizes that their kids know the practice.
As Akahi said:
“Our children are aware of Breatharianism and the energy that exists in the universe and in themselves.
“But we would never try to change them and we let them eat whatever they want – whether that be juices, vegetables, pizza or ice-cream!
“We want them to explore the different tastes and have a healthy relationship with food as they grow.
“It would be unfair to impose Breatharianism upon our children now but maybe as they grow, they will get deeper into the practices.”
Furthermore, Camila explained about her pregnancy and giving birth to the baby:
“I was completely open to changing my food-free lifestyle when I first became pregnant because my child came first. But I just never felt hungry so I ended up practicing a fully Breatharian pregnancy.
“I didn’t feel the need or desire to eat solid food during the entire nine months and so I only ate 5 times, all of which were in social situations.
“And I knew my son would be nourished enough by my love and this would allow him to grow healthily in my womb.
In addition, she told:
“I went for regular pregnancy check-ups and my doctor confirmed the above average growth of a very healthy baby boy.
“After I gave birth to my son, I wanted to be able to explore the joy of food in small quantities with my children as they grew.
“So during my second pregnancy, I ate a bit of fruit or vegetable broth during the nine months. It was still a lot less than the recommended intake for a pregnant woman but I gave birth to a healthy daughter.
More from Camila on Breatharianism
Camila added:
“Now, Akahi and I eat very sporadically – perhaps 3 or 4 times per week at the most. I might have a few vegetables, a juice or a bite of an apple with my children. Sometimes we have a glass of water too.
“Whenever I eat now, it’s not because I’m hungry – I just don’t remember that sensation.”
