I know it's a late reply, but if ever you want a fasting buddy, feel free to email me (hoffy_boy89@hotmail.com).

I'm starting one in 2 days (going for 21 or 30 days depending on how I feel) and hope to find someone to keep me motivated for the first 5 days which are always the hardest... (as well as someone to chat about it to in general, cause most people just don't 'get it'.)

On that note, I think your response to kim's post was fairly harsh... it's fair enough to see fasting as a ridiculous idea, because we're brought up to believe we need food daily... and it's a pretty hard topic to find any alternative information on.

It's just that when we get defencive towards people who are uneducated about it, they're hardly going to be encouraged to try & understand.

Then again, the lack of knowledge about it does give us the whole "secret weapon" edge... so maybe we should discourage them! lol.
