My first 3 day water fast I was a couch potato, could barely walk around
the house without getting fatigued (which is bad cause it indicates good
tissue loss). But several fasts later I did a 12 day water fast, had
plenty of energy and felt great even on the 12th day. I think the body
has to learn how just like it has to learn to walk.

Yet another version of the lemonade diet. A lot easier than water
fasting, but not as effective.
