Yeah I reckon water fasting (with caffeine) sounds preferable to me.

I did 40 days with just water and 1 black coffee each day, it was great
40 days & nights?
Biblical!
Yes nothing for the entire day and night for 40 days, I lost 18kg and my arthritis was gone and blood pressure was back to normal among other ailments.
Interesting results. What happened when you returned to your “normal” diet?
I didn’t really return to my normal diet, I made some better choices. After around 18 months I had put on around 10kg and stayed there until I recently moved to Japan and I’m now losing weight without doing anything except eating a 100% Japanese diet, except I don’t eat Tofu.
I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are ready 😀
Yeah I can't really even imagine going that long.
You must have had a lot more fat reserves back then.
I'm pretty sure I did 7 days once a good while ago. It really didn't feel good but fasting is largely psychological difficult rather than physical. That one was mentally quite hard for me. I was a different person back then but it left me with such a negative feeling about fasting longer than 3 days.
Might be due for another fast soon.
Thanks for sharing Gary.
