If we start to loose us, then we were actualy starving. I suggest anytone thin consume the juice of all the fruits they desire, even if that means 40 oranges a day. If they are too thin, too many problems, then they can add vegetable broth as an evening meal, again enough to fill their belly full. If they still have problems, then they should limit their fast to 14 days and do it maybe 4x per year until they can work their way up to a 40 day fast.
