Greetings
I have done one day fasts over the past 20 years. I have read about MC for a year and today without much planning started. I made my batch of ”lemonade” and have 10 days to fast and 4 days to do the OJ and soups.
I will be preparing meals for my teen and I am sure will find this hard but my mental state is such I am committed and finally ready. I have cleared my social calendar and will not do anything but work from home, walk the beach and go to the movies. This is my time.
After the 14 days MC fast/OJ/soup, I have a 3 week vacation alone on a remote island. I hope to ...

Isn’t fasting as a way to lose weight UNHEALTHY? Isn’t fasting for detox and digestion? I am so confused and quite frankly feel some here are really on the road to serious failure and possibly illness. Is there an MD here to clarify the position on Long Term Fasting and Weight Loss? In all due respect I think some of you are truly off your rockers..and I mean that with deep concern.

Hi Wood Elf. Funny isnt it how different specialists can vary in their outlook.
