Re: Yes very nice. And the picture says a lot (edit)

Whatever kind of diet somebody goes on, it's really all about the proper follow-up.  As the cliche goes, one has to embrace a permanant lifestyle change.  I have fasted and not kept the fat off and i have fasted and kept it off.  The big difference between the two was the lifestyle i embraced and maintained afterwards.   As well, i think of fasting as being quite a bit more than merely a "crash diet". 

Through cleansing, healing and regeneration, fasting opens up the body's potential to keep weight off and continue to lose more,  partly through a new found excellence in being able to optimally assimilate nutrients. 

edit:

In my opinion, and through my fairly extensive personal experience with it,  Water Fasting is quite simply the fastest way to burn fat.  In this fast i anticipate burning about 20 pounds of fat over 25 days, but a fast can only be of temporary duration and absolutely must be followed up with an outstanding, healthy, nutritious lifestyle as well as a consistent exercise program.
