Dear "40" -

I've done a bit of long term water fasting in recent years. Allow me to make a recommendation: before to try another fast, read a book by Dr. Joel Fuhrman entitled "Fasting and Eating for Health" - you may be able to get it from your local library. Or you can order it online.

This book served as a "manual" for my first fast of 15 days. I used it every day (and night) to track my progress and to help understand what was happening to my body (and mind) during the fast. Essential reading, and very supportive.

Best Regards on the future fasting. Randy
