I was actually being facetious in my posting and also taking a dig at opponents of my Water Fasting forays. I know of the efficacy of fasting for weight loss as I have fasted many times and have successfully maintained 20+ pounds of weight loss executing a low fat raw Vegan diet after the completion of my fasts.
I will do the same after the present fast is over and have no doubt that if I adhere once again to a raw Vegan paradigm, I will maintain the weight loss. Wishing you success on your fast and I really enjoy your posts.
