Re: Olivia Cohen (3rd 40 day fast - day 1) update
Actiongirl, I know you probably mean well, but I think everyone does care here about Olivia, and I can't see anything sarcastic either, unless you are referring to a different poster.
Also you were sensible enough to note that you identified with some of the issues those guys had in the starvation and emotions experiment, and pointed out the problems with fasting to goldenberry.
If you are that smart (and I think you are) then why not try the approach I mentioned to goldenberry - eat healthily for a while? If you did I think everyone would support and respect you for it. It may make a huge difference to the way you see things, And if you thing fasting takes an strong will, just try eating a plant based diet with no salt, sugar, fat, meat oil or dairy. People crumble after days on it and go back to junk. Sticking to that takes more will power than fasting.
Good luck with whichever way you try
