This is just what I needed to see, I need ti loose weight but I dont want it to just be the main reason for me fasting.....so people have been telling me that I cant do it, its not healthy...blah, blah, blah..so ii started I think yesterday or the day before and I was taking cleansing tea that I wasnt fasting so after reading this....no more tea, or anything....if I can do 4days a few months ago...i can go longer! I wont weigh myself because the scale I have only goes to 350 and I know i'm more then that so...when I can stand on it without it saying error....i'm good right now i'm 368 5ft 11in my ideal is in the 170lb range so just getting down to 300 and below will be a blessing....again thank you for your posting!
