Fasting

I try to fast for 23 hours each day, not always successfully!  I have done a 48 hour fast a couple of times. I just wondered whether anyone else on here fasted?

I would like to do a seven day fast soon but its a bit awkward with Christmas and New year upon us soon. Apparently a seven day fast is a good thing to do now and again.
There is a story about a man who was feeling suicidal and decided to starve himself to death. After three days fasting he felt great and his depression lifted and he decided against suicide. Fasting dioes have an effect on your well being and you supposedly don't feel hungry after the first couple of days. As long as you take your multivitimins and electrolyte tablets and try and drink 2 to 2.5 litres of liquid a day your body is at home feasting on your accumulated fat.

Sounds a bit nutty I know so maybe Veggie can stick this in the nutty as a fruitcake thread!
