Breathism is the same word as Inedia, which is the way of life in where you do not need to consume food for living. If you practise Inedia you can live on light alone, what means that without consuming food you can subsist, at least, the same as a person who consumes food. Breathism defends that humans can be sustained solely by Prana, the vital life force in Hinduism.
Originally, Inedia was practised as a philosophy, as a lifestyle. Nowadays it has changed and some people use it as a diet.
Inedia is considered a dangerous practice by scientists and medical professionals, who consider Inedia a lethal pseudoscience, what means that some people believe that it is a scientific practice, but it really doesn't follow the scientific method. In the recent 20 years it has caused at least four deaths.
