Re: why do people say i will die???
Hi wickedlylu, see my earlier message at

- I had this all the time. However the difference between you and I perhaps is that I did my research beforehand, and knew all about fasting, and knew my own stats well, how overweight I was, exactly how much I was losing. I had a well prepared flight plan, haha! I was 100% self confident, at the point of that discussion.
You mention you had previously had an eating disorder. Are your friends aware of this? If so it's another reason they will be more concerned. As you probably know, eating disorders can't be gotten rid of so easily, so I am sure they will be concerned. If your weight was going up and down to them it will sound like another down.
M advice is to do a shorter fast, then refeed on healthy food. Get the hang of it first, watch your weight. Then do another fast after at least the refeeding time, so if you plan to do a 40 day one, eat healthily for 40 days then try a 40 day fast.
By the way I have updated my profile to include details my own fasting journey.
