The main buy in for me was what I read about insulin response and sensitivity. You just can't lose fat easily if your body is pumping out insulin which is the fat storage signal you get after eating most anything especially the carbohydrates that most meals are made of.

if you suffer from metabilic syndrome, you might not want to go that route hoping to lose weight.

I'm personally not quite so sure about 3-day fasts as that seems a bit excessive - especially for those of us who have employers who expect us to be productive.

Are there special foods when you do eat? How long have you been doing this?

EDIT: I'm down 31 pounds since the beginning of the year.
Much less time for eating means more time to do other things.

When you are fasting you should be cleansing, you shouldn't take the pain killers. Chances are you were dehydrated. Try drinking a couple of glasses of water first next time and failing that take some magnesium. I have no issue with ibuprofen but not during a fast. Also, PLEASE tell me that there was no aspartame in that energy drink!
