Re: water fasting for 40 days?

People do put the weight back on, that is not in question. I don't know of anyone saying that they put the weight back on who also say that they broke the fast correctly though. All of those who I have seen have said that their eating returned to what it was or went 'out of control'. Fasting doesn't allow you lose weight while you are not doing it or if you don't complete the recovery period following a very healthy if not mostly raw diet. If you eat too much you put the weight on simple as that, fasting isn't magic it doesn't change the rules so we can get away with overeating and junk food abuse when finished.

This is different to most diets, which are not only in many cases harder to follow, but even when followed to the letter just do not work for everyone, or even for the majority of people in many cases. They work well enough for some people, who have varying degrees of success advertising their success to the public and making the diet a business. That's assuming they really lost the weight due to the diet they are advertising in the first place. But if a million consumers want to believe in the 'subway' diet who am I to put a damper on their enthusiasm.

Your experience is working as it should mouseclick because you didn't just not eat for 27 days, you followed through with the fasting principles post fast. That is how a fast is rightly conducted. There is no confusion here for me. :)
