This is such good information...some people do this yearly to reset their immune systems...the replies are always interesting to read...Dr. Makis has been such a champion for truth...I truly appreciate his calling...
I started the fast! I decided to start today, before I ate anything, so it actually began around 9pm last night. We'll see how I'm doing after 24, and 48 hours :) I went 3 days without eating anything other than an orange decades ago, so I'll have to see how my old and decrepit self does now :)
The first day (after 24 hours of fasting) you'll be hungry and thinking about food, and tempted to break the fast, but when you wake up the second day, for some reason the hunger subsides. At least that's how it's been for me.
I'm now close to the 36 hr mark, and I really don't feel hungry, and my stomach hasn't even growled the whole time! My wife and I are going for a hike in a while, so that will be interesting :)
Okay, I just ate my first meal in 72 hours, and boy, was it good :) To be honest, I never felt THAT hungry, and my stomach didn't even growl until today, and it wasn't much. Maybe it is because I am pretty old (66) that I can take going longer without food; lower metabolism perhaps. I felt weaker than normal, but never debilitatingly weak; I even walked over an hour yesterday. What is weird is that I lost 5 lbs of body weight, but the lack of calories would equate to not much more than a pound of fat loss; I guess the body just start getting rid of water if you go without food, but I stayed hydrated; pretty weird. Now I have to see if I feel a lot better than normal in a day or two. It definitely was not as hard for me as some people make it out to be.

Hopefully I'll notice the benefits :) Best to you!
