Hey Your heart muscles will be the last to get eaten. Fasting is the best thing you can do for your body. When you fast there is a process that the body goes through. Vital tissues and organs are the last things your body will use for energy and people are trying to scare you. Go to this website read it for yourself and you will know.

Good luck on your fast =)

Your heart muscles will not get eaten up until after you have fasted to completion. That is why you need to take it a day at a time. The people you are talking about sound very ignorant. Your body will tell you when you have fasted to completion and then you will need to start refeeding. Yes, your body is having a feast off of itself, but I guarantee you it is not your heart at this point. Your body is eating fat, viruses, bacteria, parasites, scar tissue, tumors, unwanted growths, and any disease material it can find. When there is nothing left for it to eat except what you need, like your heart, true hunger returns and you will have fasted to completion. You will need to start eating again at this point. I had the same problem with people when I was your age. They really messed me up and I stopped fasting for years. I know now how foolish they were and how foolish I was to let them control me and for me to believe them. I so regret it. It really messed me up. You are doing the right thing, just forget about the 40 days and take it a day at a time.

for my opinion fasting is very essential for a human body, it helps your digestive system to relax and take a day off after long hard work digesting junk food lol

it also helps us to rejuvenate wow! so it actually make us look younger gees, and for what i experience as a faster on my DAY 10 i feel calm, i feel at peace its just no stress going on with me you feel me?

well the reason i ask u y 40 days is because i thought you were following the steps of great famous people who actually did and recommended fasting for everybody, like pilates mohamad ghandi jesus christ moises hyprocates and a lot more

i would really love to tell you more stuff about fasting but my mind is not working right now im really sleepy anyway people who were scaring you about fasting were people who actually havent experience doing fasting or they just really dont know what it is.

there are different types of fasting water which is very hard and yeah could be dangerous, juice and etc etc remember anything is bad if its too much, you- yourself know your body limitation and beside our body can actually survive not eating food for 40 days those great people that i mention earlier didnt died because of fasting,

your friends or family who i believe were the one who caution you about fasting has somehow has a point, fasting can be dangerous it can lead to ulceritist or you can be anorexia or other scary stuff well all is depend on YOU like i say hear your body listen to it most importantly love yourself... Dont abuse it by eating to much (specially junk food) and also dont abuse it by not eating at all,

goodluck and goodnight
peace out
