After doing a few short fasts I decided to do a longer one and checked with my doctor to see what he thought. He flipped out and said I would be dead in 10 days without food. I did it anyway and am very happy I did. (my last fast was 29 day last 25 days ago and I am still alive LOL)
I never get made at people that don't understand fasting. It is scary for most people and I understand that. I am an adult and I do what I want as far as what I put or don't put into my body and I don't let any one who knows nothing about fasting tell me different.
I do try to educate people when I can.
Now the same doctor is on board with me (after seeing how I have turned my life around because of fasting).
He is even going to try it himself soon to see what is like.
But I do agree the less people who know that you are fasting the better!
