Hi 30/40 day water fast. You need to get a foundational understanding of what good nutrition and health are all about. For example. going on a Water Fast may be the worst way to get out of the rut you are in even though it is a powerful healing tool used by many with miracle results. A toxic overweight body can get in trouble with a healing mode as intensive as a water fast. One example of something you can do to begin to move your body and mind in the right direction is to EAT ONE RAW FRUIT OR VEGETABLE AT EVERY MEAL. This will begin to condition your body to the raw whole food idea which is where long term health and healing take place. There is so much more - testing your pH, digestion, blood Sugar etc., to avoid mistakes and going around in circles. I suggest you visit The Perfect Health Foundation website and read it just to get an idea of what this health and natural healing business is all about - you don't have to order anything. GET THE LANDSCAPE IN PLACE so you don't make serious mistakes or go around in circles in search for better health. Right now you don't know the right questions to ask. Study this website and you will know that much. I hope this helps. I am an 80 year old in near perfect health, and when I was 20 I was total ignorant and when 40 totally sick. There is hope for everyone, but you must be willing to learn. Blessings.
