I started a fast last night at 12:00 am. It looks like I'm going to make it 24 hrs. I hope to go 40 days but we'll see. Last time I did 40 days I lost 60 pounds. I'm considering posting pictures but I'll wait a couple days until I know the fast is serious.

You fasted without food for 40 days? Who are you Dr. Sebi?
Yes, I did! It was a great mental challenge but I'm glad I did it. Fasting is great for your health, too. When your body is not focused on converting food into energy, your body can heal itself. One of these days I'll do something similar.
I’m guessing you were home the whole time? What was the first thing you ate when refeeding?
Most of my time was at home and in bed watching stuff on my computer or reading but you can do some things outside of the house. Just nothing really strenuous. I don't know what was the first thing I ate but it probably was a fruit.
Did your body go into shock? I’d think you need to be fed intravenously or something first.. and did you get over some ailment you were experiencing? What was your goal?
"Shock" is too strong a word but it took a while to get used to eating again. You just have to take it easy. I fasted primarily for the experience and to lose some weight. It's very healthy. My dad is in his 60s and he managed to do a 40 day fast TWICE!
That’s really impressive if true. I’ve done 3-4 days once... I find doing 16 hours challenging nowadays
