not sure if this helps the thread at all, but i know of a great pastor at a church who would fast regularly and from his experience, he would usually fast between 7-14 days, he says the first 7 days is really just a detox period, real hunger dont set in until after 7 days. he would only drink lemonade, honey and maple syrup to sustain him. he even goes work out during fast, and he looks super fit. he felt so good and gets a clear mind to focus on God that he doesnt want to stop.
and here i am, cant even do 30 hours lol.
nothing to do with fasting but what worked for me was when i first moved in my new home, i had a really ugly couch and my wife hate it so much that we had to push it into hiding and so many nights i would just stand watching tv. i lost over 10 lbs that few months and couldnt understand how and where as I did not change my diet , then last year we finally bought the couch of our dreams, and i regain the 10 lbs so fast it was not funny.
